College football is in such disarray... and it has never made more money than it does now. So glad I quit watching Gameday and quit Twitter 4-5 seasons ago. Happy I don't even know about this stuff until I read about it. I just want to watch the games. www.nytimes.com/athletic/762...

The Arch Manning rage spiral won’t stop, and it’s absolutely infuriating
Manning is at the center of this rage spiral that still hasn’t landed nearly two weeks later, but his coach, Steve Sarkisian, launched it.

I used to would have said “you are giving your most intimate personal data to THAT company?” . Now I just don’t care. People don’t have an excuse not knowing their history. It’s almost an advantage for them at this point. Personal character growth on my part.

I do regard people who loudly declare that they have no regrets in life to be a bit tedious.  I certainly don’t believe them.  Also, they might possibly be drunk… or malignant sociopath…

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

At COSM in Atlanta and watching the Open and I am not going to lie, watching the crowd and them not knowing they are blown up to 5 meters tall on a big screen hundreds of miles away is just as fun as the tennis.

The cool thing about watching a GTA preview is that when you see that lime scooter, you know you can rob a bank and get away on that lime scooter. You can be a scooter bandit. Miami isn't ready for the Electric Scootaroo Bandit.

80% of swarm libs and agent teams that report back to each other are overkill and wasting you money. Coders ( real and vibe ) just like it because it makes them seem like they have an army of clankers at their call. You just spent $20 on tokens to change the color you could have done with 1 agent.

Peter Weir turns 82 today. 🎂 On “Witness”, he fought with the studio to remove entire pages of dialogue. “I knew that if I had done my job properly, you would know exactly how [characters] were feeling by the time it was all cut together.” This scene always gets me.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

I don't know what you call them ( or if they have a name ) but the panning out shots of Peter in the new Spidey when he is walking down the city streets on his phone ( with the city noise in the background ) def gave me 70s/80s vibes. Had that San Fran / Trek IV thing going on and I loved it.
