"In these times of hatred and misinformation, we need more than the 'apparent magic' of deceptive images. We need art that is truthful about the costs and the necessity of compassion, and that recognizes that a sense of spiritual superiority may not protect us from lies."

Anyway. Definitely not related to this, obviously, but if you are ever in a business meeting with me and I say: "Don't worry, I won't judge!" Then be aware that I am lying and am already judging very hard.

This came across my IG feed and it's too good to not share here
A pie chart labeled "benefits of staying in academia after PhD" where the categories are salary, wellness, stable mental health, and confidence for your future. They are each associated with a different color. The pie chart has four pieces of different sizes and colors. But the colors in the pie chart do not match the colors Associated with the four items supposedly being visualized here.

After having seen STAR WARS 500 times as a kid, I remember having my mind blown learning that the entire "the death star is about to blow up the rebel base as its being attacked" beat of the ending was invented in the editing room using outtakes and ADR. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

new most bizarre moment of the Olympics just dropped Norwegian biathlete wins bronze medal, then, totally unprompted, reveal he cheated on his GF, she left him, and he wants to apologize publicly hoping she takes him back www.vg.no/sport/i/vr5g...
a Norwegian man crying on air while being interviewed, with his biathlon stats besides himIn the interview with NRK, he first started by thanking everyone who has helped him on the path to his first individual Olympic medal.

And then – unprompted – he made an admission:

– And then there's someone I wanted to share it with who might not be watching today. Six months ago I met the love of my life. The most beautiful and kindest person in the world. Three months ago I made my biggest mistake and cheated on her, and I told her about it a week ago. It's been the worst week of my life, he says tearfully in the interview.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your belief that a bookshelf with a rolling ladder will fix you is a valid one. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not worthy of your friendship.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.
[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

Passing the bill he wants passed gives him more power. Not passing the bill he wants takes away from his power. Pls stop insulting everyone’s intelligence.

Schumer: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option. It is not a clean CR. It is deeply partisan. It doesn't address far too many of this country's needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option."

It's Pancake Day! Time to EAT PANCAKES in HONOR OF MACHIAVELLI! What do pancakes have to do with the founder of modern political science? Our boy Nick was obsessed with pancakes! & wrote about them at length in his "Art of War." Why pancakes? He'd been studying the ancients of course! 1/?
Portrait of Machiavelli, wearing his little black hat and looking like a sweetie pie (this one is less reproduced than the one where he's in red and looks sinister, since people prefer to remember Machiavelli the schemer not Machiavelli the pancake nerd!
