When Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Dario Amodei all tell us they have no idea what they are doing, we should believe them nytimes.com/2026/09/12/t... and stop giving them trillions of dollars for a dangerous clown show. If their AI does damage, they can pay and possibly go to jail.

Spent six summers working in a salmon cannery in Alaska doing everything from cleaning fish, carting boxes of can lids, climbing inside retort ovens and cleaning the early 20th century machinery at night (best job). Long hours of grueling work but a great experience in a beautiful place.

I showed my boyfriend the historic logo for the Bemis Bro. Bag Company and he immediately photoshopped out one of its eyes to make it Marcel.

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

I'm not sure when the image of the "intrepid" and "fearless" journalist got cemented but I think that this has always been a myth. There are some PEOPLE who happen to be journalists who were/have been intrepid and fearless but it's not a mark of the overall profession.
