Dear Indians, don’t be fooled by the propaganda by... the #TraitorsOfBengaluru. It is a beautiful city with reasonable infra, equipped to handle its native population. However, the real issues are uncontrolled migration and the lack of assimilation by migrants with the local culture.

The Sabotaging Practice of Over Supply and Sameness in... the NFT Space. The current zeitgeist of the NFT space is that the same artists are doing the same kind of work five times a year, with project after project leaving a trail of disappointment and discontent among collectors and all of us watching in disbelief as huge resources are extracted from the space over work that feels like it could be left as an "artist study." I understand that you can do what you want with your money as collectors, but we are killing the whole space with this incestuous practice. No artist is that prolific to be able to do 5 collections of 100+ pieces each every year and actually deliver innovation and some kind of creative evolution. Of course, they can pretend play that the work has something new, but there is no precedent nor proof that that has ever happened in the speed that it happens in the NFT space. Again, people are free to through away their resources on whatever they want but with this way of doing things, we more and more are going to start seeing the consequences. Oh! There are consequences? Yes. Maybe unintended, but there are. Let's see. Let's start with the loss of belief in the NFT space as somewhere where emerging artists can come and find support for their experiments. Why even bother to bring experiments, innovation, and new ways to think of art on the blockchain if the same people have all the collectors hypnotized with their magical flutes? Why even try to come to a space where taking risks and challenging the status quo (the mission of art!!!) is overlooked? This makes the NFT space a social club and not a space for art. I guess it is fine, but IMO it is a recipe for disaster. New collectors stay away because the art will slowly but surely become stale and un-challenging. Why even bother to come and see what is happening here if you can't, as a collector, see new weird and up-and-coming artists? The amount of noise emitted by the same artists doing the same art over and over, drowns out any new voices. Again. A recipe for disaster. The NFT space is becoming a space of disappointment and doubt. We think that collections going to zero one after the other, over and over, is not damaging? I feel we are kidding ourselves. Disappointment piles up, and again, the people who will hurt are the emerging artists, the new blood, the ones who are willing to risk the most and, in return, put fire in this cold space of sameness. I love this space—don't get me wrong—it has changed my life, and I believe it has a ton of potential, but things need to change for it to become a beacon of light in art. But we need to support new voices. We need to support new ideas. The challenge is huge. I hope to contribute all I can to this change. I hope more and more see how exciting it is to go out and try to discover what else is out there and move this space forward. But again, I understand the leaps of faith needed, but if there is a space that is based on that, it's the NFT space...so there is hope. We will see. 📺by Boldtronshow more

LA City Council Backs Down on Noncitizen Voting Push... — (Video: AI) Big reversal in LA: The City Council just undid their vote to put noncitizen voting on the ballot for local elections — which would have let noncitizens (including illegal immigrants) vote for mayor and other key offices. After strong backlash, they pulled the measure unanimously. The fact that they ever attempted this in the first place says a lot. Citizen-only voting is a cornerstone of our democracy. Should cities ever allow noncitizens to vote for mayor and local leaders?show more

ALERT: City councilwoman cheered for after she walked out... of a meeting to block a vote on a data center proposal in Kentucky. Melinda Wofford walked out of the Burgin City Council meeting, causing the council to lose its legal minimum of voters and ending the meeting before the data center vote could take place. The city attorney drafted an ordinance to annex several parcels of land for the Panattoni Data Centers, which the council had already voted against once. Residents are concerned about the data center's potential impact on air quality, noise, water, electricity demand, and local infrastructure. Wofford said she walked out intentionally and, "You can’t do business without a quorum.”show more

🚨 LA City Council Advances Proposal on Noncitizen Voting... for November Ballot Los Angeles City Council has moved forward on a measure from Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez (AI video) that would allow the city to consider noncitizen voting in certain local elections — including races for Mayor, City Council seats, and LAUSD school board seats. The charter amendment, which cleared a key committee, would go before voters this fall if approved. Supporters say it would give long-term residents who pay taxes and participate in the community a voice in local decisions affecting their families and neighborhoods. This raises important questions about voting rights, citizenship, and local governance amid ongoing national conversations on immigration and representation. Should non-citizens be allowed to vote in any elections? (Video: AI)show more

NOW: Hundreds of state workers are rallying at the... State Capitol against Gov. Gavin Newsom's new return-to-office mandate that takes effect today requiring most state employees to work in person four days per week instead of the previous minimum of two (for most state workers). They argue telework has proven effective and productive, adding the return-to-office mandate will increase traffic and add costs for everyday workers and taxpayers. On the other side, Newsom argues the return to office mandate will improve productivity and improve downtowns. SEIU Local 1000 says the demonstration also comes as its contract with the state has expired. No agreement has been reached for a new contract.show more

Spencer Pratt is blasting Mayor Karen Bass for cutting... a major street repair program — as potholes continue to plague Los Angeles drivers. The reality star and mayoral candidate says the city diverted $100 million meant for infrastructure (including a program that once fixed hundreds of miles of roads) to other priorities like homelessness initiatives. Despite significant spending on homelessness, the problem has only gotten worse overall under Bass in key metrics according to critics. Pratt argues: “The infrastructure of the city is everyone’s priority. We pay taxes. That money was meant for infrastructure.” He promises to refocus funds on fixing the roads if elected. Shouldn’t fixing potholes and basic infrastructure be a top priority for LA? (Video: AI)show more
