Today the president issued a “determination” that the oil a petroleum industry fell under the Defense Production Act and instructed DOD to provide financing purchase guarantees, etc to support the domestic industry.

I asked AI to pull together all of Rob Blake’s draft picks during his tenure as LA Kings’ GM, plus the next five picks. He had some bad misses (Turcotte at 5 overall in 2019 stands out), but overall, that analysis revealed how few draft picks actually make it onto an NHL roster. Next,

There are three players on the current roster GMRB traded for:

The season is not half over but the 2026 LA Chargers may have a shot at immortality.

Hey @governor.ca.gov: Any plans to sign the “Balcony Solar” bill (SB 868) into law before the 9/30 deadline? It’s been on your desk for weeks. CA renters should have an opportunity to cut ⚡️costs, reduce carbon emissions, and help the grid during peak usage. What’s the holdup?

Seems like the National Weather Service’s Area Forecast Discussion has gotten sloppy and less informative over the past several months. More typos. Less meteorologist’s reasoning behind the forecast. The AFD is a valuable resource and it’d be a real loss if it were to go away. @nws.noaa.gov

The talk about ai-authored human extinction seems premature. Surely the machines will need some of us to stoke the fires, for a while. And those people will need homes and food and all the rest, produced by other humans. We might call the transition to machine-servitude “the latest capitalism”.

I’ve been bugged by the transformation of the term “late-stage capitalism” which first described a system in its final throes, its contradictions irresolvable, into today’s meaning, nearly the opposite, that describes a capitalism ever more pernicious in its ability to find resources to exploit.

“Sature-intensive capitalism is characterized by simultaneous expansion into newly commodifiable domains and increasingly granular monetization—or infill—within domains already incorporated into market exchange.” It only needs a couple of examples to be taken seriously. We already have a hyphen.

I get that words have meanings that change with use (consider “neo-liberalism’s” evolution). Still, we also need precision in our language to help us understand the world better. So let’s retire “late-stage capitalism” and let it again describe the moment before capitalism collapses. Let’s devise
