This is the longest of long shots but I don't suppose there's anyone reading this who is in the nation of Japan, owns a Playstation 5, and would be willing to check on something for me

Encountered one of the best emails I've ever seen
@misty it had to be said
I've just seen this Peter Drucker management quote that I think encapsulates AI perfectly:
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
A lot of people are using AI to automate processes that exist, instead of asking what the process accomplished in the first place.
Not too bad today, not too bad.

Today I learned that in 1971, activists planned a "shit-in" to disrupt the Chicago O'Hare airport by occupying every bathroom stall and urinal. They did not actually execute the protest because just the threat of it brought City Hall to the negotiating table.

Breaking, exclusive and spicy, from me:
A new identity theft service launched on the dark web this week is selling digital scans of more than 153 million drivers licenses from people in the United States and Canada. Based on interviews with individuals whose licenses are available for purchase on this service, it appears to be siphoning images collected by a widely-used identity verification company based in Louisiana. KrebsOnSecurity also has learned that the New Orleans field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) today launched an official inquiry into the source of the images.

The USS Abraham Lincoln deployed 266 days with 200 in a combat zone, but the real question isn't whether sailors are tired.
It's whether the missions they’ve been sent on are necessary.
By a military scholar and Army veteran:

@TheConversationUS
Are the missions legal?
@adhdeanasl Here you go. Happy #bleptember to all!
And we're definitely doing it ON PURPOSE, and the lib media doing it KNOWS what they're doing. Here for example is a piece published in the SAME PAPER on the SAME DAY as we decided to treat Abdul El-Sayed responding to the Vice President essentially calling him a swarthy menace just because of his ethnicity while doing a dual loyalty trope these nazis usually reserve for Jewish targets of their ire, as potentially legit.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/sep/01/hasan-piker-mike-rogers-media
So? They know exactly what they are doing.
Go back to that first article again okay? The Vice President of the United States just said a US Senate candidate was inherently "evil" and then started talking about Islam, the implication being obvious. And now read the article - notice how Vances claims and AES's rebuttal are given EQUAL WEIGHT in the presentation, like either one might be true? Notice they spend more time on "shit Abdul has apologized for" even tho VANCE is the guy doing unacceptable racism?
The media in on the job.
Tropical Storm Edouard was a bust in Houston on Tuesday with regard to rainfall, but the potential remains for it to be a potent rain-maker Tuesday night for areas north and northeast of Houston. Here’s why flooding in these areas is possible.
I don't really celebrate my birthday, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate it for me! Donate to your favorite anti-genAI open source project, finally commission that artist you've been eyeing, give money to a queer/trans person that's struggling rn, and/or punch a Nazi for me. Give yourself permission for self-care. Live authentically. Just generally and genuinely be a cool and good person. We need as many of those as we can get especially now.
A friendship can be sincere and transactional at the same time. Ask a cat.
Mamdani has announced that NYC restaurants can have outdoor dining all year round.
This is actually a big public health win because fall and winter is when respiratory virus cases surge. Dining outdoors helps reduce the risk of disease spread.
