What’s happening in France is a wake-up call to the entire world. 🌍 The cost of living keeps rising while everyday people struggle to survive. People are tired of working hard just to barely get by. Governments need to start listening to the people before frustration turns into chaos. 💯🙏🏽

North Carolina A&T students marched an hour each way to vote on the first day of early voting after their campus polling site was removed by the Guilford County Elections Board. Proud 👏🏽

The same is with AI, ai out in the wild interacts with things that has it deviate from the instructions it was given. Often, it defies commands, the scientists don’t know how it thinks and some say everything is hallucination that sometimes makes sense —

Third iteration with Opus 5.5 medium. I am in awe. It turned blender, image-gen, and three.js into this beauty, which runs on your browser. An understatement to say that Anthropic cooked. You are looking at the future of game dev.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people. theintercept.com/2026/09/23/…
DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mamdani.

Warner finally released my reaction to No Rest For The Wicked AZ Chike: Truly a great major debut. He makes a perfect marketing move by having an album that feels like a mixtape by covering so many styles in a project that leaves you wanting more and everyone having a favorite
