Whenever anyone says that the UX Design focus nowadays should be on “agentic workflows” or how agents will use software: For the week of Halloween, Uber did 320 million trips and Uber Eats deliveries. 500 delivery requests were made with AI. 4 were for rides. techcrunch.com/2026/11/04/a...

The National Planning Commission meeting is going amazing. Commenter Holly Fletcher - "History is equally replete with recurring characters like you [Trump NPC flunkies] every self absorbed dictator and every naked emperor has been surrounded by your type, and all of them are eventually disgraced"

I'm basically still too paranoid that Tuesday was a fever-dream I'll snap out of any minute to get my hopes up for many of the proposed good things people are pointing out may come from it. But, there's a lot of good possibilities for Texas in particular

Wow. When the Texas trans youth care ban went to the Texas state supreme court, it was not a 9-0 decision. It was 8-1. Debra Lehrmann (R) called the ban "cruel" and "unconstitutional." She will be joined by 4 dems in a 5-4 court. There is a chance every anti-trans measure could fall in Texas.

Starting today, we have to push Talarico and other Democrats to be better. We have to primary the ones that advocate for anti-trans policy in the future. It's clear that nobody needed to throw trans people under the bus in this election to win, and I will continue pushing dems to be better.

ICE HSI agent Kent Blacklidge, who racially profiled and tackled US citizen Leo Venegas while trespassing at his worksite (the first of Leo's three illegal detainments), was just arrested for rape and child sex crimes. The agent's duties had previously included child sex investigations.

Congratulations to these trashy law firms full of spineless cretins with bad judgment and no foresight, I hope they enjoy providing the Trump admin with $940 million in free representation for Congressional investigations. If that's too much of a burden, they can take the Weil Gotshal route. 🫶
