this is like, the only kind of news story about Canadian crime(?) that we ever get down here

Nice guy of no fixed address takes a turn at driving the bus, checks bus pass validity, makes scheduled stops, passengers give him directions when he deviates from route

Reminds me of the time some Canadian store was left unlocked overnight for some reason. They did inventory and the only thing missing was 1L of motor oil & there was a $20 on the counter

Vintagewinkels rukken op: ‘Frank Govers? Je haalt de couture er zo weer uit, Roosje’

Overal in Nederland duiken steeds meer vintagewinkels op. Tweedehandskleding is mede dankzij verkoopplatform Vinted hot. ‘De kwaliteit en de snit zijn gewoon beter.’ Plus: het is duurzaam.

What are your plans for when ChatGPT enshittifies?
I don't think we realize how good we have it right now. ChatGPT is unbiased (configurable solely and fully by the user) and truly tries its best to be useful. It's surely a question of time before OpenAI lets advertisers pay them to introduce product pladement and biases into the LLMs thinking in exchange for cash. What alternatives are there for getting the current experience when that happens? I wouldn't mind paying a small subscription.

A preview:
RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:esrrg…

In contrast, recipes and puzzle games are not an elite signifier, which means that subscribing to the New York Times no longer carries the same connotation. While this change to the New York Times’ brand identity may have nothing to do with the changes on the news side, the shift from being the most serious and respectable of all papers to a place where people play Wordle and find a cookie recipe has certainly coincided with a shift in tone that seems, frankly, a bit downmarket.

I've been wanting to write about how something I once thought was just a bit of a blindspot around trans issues at the New York Times now seems like the beginning of a larger change in their coverage, a rightward shift, but also a lowering of standards. Now I've done it, only for Assigned members.

Notably, with latest vote tallies, her lead is 0.7% - over the 0.5% which would trigger an automatic recount.

I know winning is just a start, but this one feels really good! I was just pleasantly surprised when she entered the race and just hoped she would put some pressure on him. But I thought Harrell would be very hard to beat. And he was! Katie had to run a strong campaign.

Het dorp Moerdijk gaat definitief verdwijnen om ruimte te maken voor het haven- en industrieterrein. Dinsdagavond heeft de gemeente dat in het dorpshuis bekendgemaakt. Bij de inwoners sloeg het in als een bom.

Even if they cost 4 cents to make, you can be sure if Trump's face was on the penny instead of Lincoln's, we'd still be minting them.

U.S. Mint in Philadelphia presses final penny as the 1-cent coin gets canceled

The last pennies were struck at the mint in Philadelphia, where the country’s smallest denomination coins have been produced since 1793, a year after Congress passed the Coinage Act. Officials said the final few pennies would be auctioned off.
