California Bill Would Require Landlords to Accept Pets

I assume this (and really any extra mandates for landlords) is going to drive more small/private landlords out of the business, and that won't necessarily increase housing availability on its own, but will instead be filled by larger corporate landlords that can afford to deal with administrative work required. As I've gotten older, I've found small landlords to be where you can find the best experience (but also maybe the worst, it's more variable), having just corporate landlords feels like you'll always get a shittier place (minimal work done) for market rates.

Alaska Airlines Grounds Fleet of Boeing 737 Max 9 Jets After Midair ‘Incident’

Watch the documentaries, the former MD board basically took over Boeing, moved leadership out of WA to Chicago, set up separate plants (one in Georgia not sure if there are more) to counter union/worker demands in WA, etc. This has been a long process resulting in the rotting of the company from the inside out. The 787 was the first example of their garbage - - even though I like the plane, it had a lot of issues.

Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement

Ya I'm finding myself being the bad code generator at work as I'm scattered across so many things at the moment due to attrition and AI can do a lot of the boilerplate work, but it's such a time and energy sink to fully review what it generates and I've found basic things I missed that others catch and shows the sloppiness. I usually take pride in my code, but I have no attachment to what's generated and that's exposing issues with trying to scale out using this

151 Million People Affected: New Study Reveals That Leaded Gas Permanently Damaged American Mental Health

That's probably related to all the other chemicals they use at airports (eg forever chemicals in fire retardant). 100LL (100 octane low lead) is only used in small piston engines, which is a very small population. They're trying alternatives that don't use lead, but I'm reading that the top contender is eating through paint and possibly gaskets and seals in the plane, which isn't safe either.
