Spiders are famous aesthetes. Many craft radially symmetric webs, first extruding long silken spokes and then spinning spiraling strands to snag prey. In the mornings, the intricately laid silk sparkles with dew drops. Your average, generic spiderweb spun by the most run-of-the-mill, Joe-Eightpack spider will still probably be one of the more beautiful structures constructed… | |

In 2022, the tech critic and privacy advocate Cory Doctorow coined the term enshittification to describe what's happened on the Internet to a lot of the most widely used platforms: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Spotify. He writes: "First, platforms are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die." That could serve as a model for Trumpism too. | |

Starting Nov. 1, 2025, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will stop being distributed in Pennsylvania due to the federal government shutdown, which began Oct. 1.
The Department of Agriculture notified SNAP state agency directors in October that it would stop funding the program should the shutdown continue past Nov. 1. The federal agency directed all states to withhold November benefits until further notice.
The USDA is taking this step even though it has more than $5 billion in its coffers, which could fund approximately two-thirds of what the nation spends each month on SNAP benefits.
In the more than 60-year history of SNAP and the programs that preceded it, the USDA has never before refused to spend contingency funds to disburse monthly benefits. During previous shutdowns, including the 35 days in 2018-2019, the federal government used the department’s contingency funds to ensure SNAP wasn’t interrupted. | |

KitKat, a bodega cat who patrolled and slept alot in Randa's Market on 16th Street, was allegedly run over by a Waymo vehicle, inciting what could be a fresh wave of anti-robot sentiment in San Francisco.
Owner Mike Zeidan confirmed this to the SF Standard, and an anonymous 311 call described a Waymo hitting the cat while he sat on the sidewalk next to the transit lane. It's unclear how this happened, or if the Waymo somehow got onto the sidewalk, but someone who was in a car behind the Waymo told the publication that the robocar "swerved in front of us last night at approx 11:40" and "some folks on the sidewalk started yelling and grabbed the cat right out from under where the Waymo swerved from."
Waymo has not offered any comment or confirmation of the incident.
A memorial is growing on the sidewalk where KitKat would often sit, including flowers and at least one incendiary message: "Kill a Waymo! Save a Cat!" | |
