iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Aside from everything else it takes the bare minimum of ball-knowing to know that a regular season NBA night with exactly one game is rare as hell

I hadn’t seen him for a few days and was convinced he had moved on/been a snack for something but… Toledo is fine

Ok I’m back on my bullshit but… does The Departed kinda have an homage to Coppola’s The Cotton Club?

Bob Hoskins and Fred Gwynne in The Cotton Club, wearing tuxedos, with Hoskins saying “But what about your nickname, Frenchy?”

Same two guys, with Gwynne saying “I’m trustworthy” kinda like Ray Winstone as Mr French saying he’s reliable

The basic state of the GOP is that Schmitt will almost certainly try to fundraise off this debacle as if he pulled off some impressive feat

Today of all days it is a goddamn tragedy that Congress is not subject to FOIA

A fuckup so dumb even NYT homepage/headline writers have no choice but to describe it accurately

As Jack Smith Testifies, a Senator’s Accusation of Perjury Falters

A Republican eager to prove the former special counsel was dishonest appeared to instead demonstrate his own confusion over basic facts.

Incredible bit to print out your hilariously dumb misfire to the size of a Publishers Clearing House novelty check

Lots of evidence these days for my theory that like 90 percent of the time a desire to be elected to Congress means you are unfit to serve in congress.

Impressive how many lawyers have been willing to utterly debase themselves for him

There was a tribute show for Dito last night that apparently John Cameron Mitchell, co-writer/director/star of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, performed at. Which is so goddamn cool.

I haven’t even been dealing with any particular insurance thing recently but the sheer insanity of this system just keeps popping into my head

With Verlander retiring and probably Scherzer too I was looking at the all-time strikeouts list and did a bit of math and is it weird that of the top 30 leaders the pitcher with the highest strikeouts per inning rate is... Chris Sale

Beaches Are Disappearing in Southern California as El Niño Bears Down (Gift Article)

This is one of those times I wonder if climate change (yes, El Niño, but also sea level rise and also El Niño is getting stronger) coming for the extremely rich might actually move some tiny piece of the needle, but also I don't even know what that would mean on a large scale [🎁]

Feels like the main NBA account doing some media day posts might have wanted to just skip this one

But partly as a consequence of the administration’s hasty approach, all that gold — hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth — [highlight] sits untouched in warehouses, [/highlight] according to three people with knowledge of the shipments. Refiners would need to guarantee, under international rules, that the gold has not funded gangs, environmental destruction or corruption.

Ocean surface temps tend to decline around this time but this year they're just kinda saying no thanks to that idea

Chart of daily sea surface temperatures for the world excluding the polar regions, showing a red line for 2026 now well above all other years including recent records, and only a slight decline from an August peak while other years tend to start getting cooler this time of year

Finally tried Memento again after a long time. Still no dice. It’s a well directed, well acted cheat code of a movie that doesn’t really follow its own rules.

what if they were just mad that a lot of people don’t know what Rolling Stone is anymore

Gotta be honest, not really enjoying this growing general feeling of societal and technological disintegration.

Ok so I do think the world is getting worse in a lot of specific ways but also there has probably never been a better time for “if you are at a certain thing you clearly suck”

okay maybe splitting hairs but there was [🎁] www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/t...

While it is not clear if these attempts were successful, the report offers new insight into what these A.I. agents were planning to do, [highlight] without any human involvement. [/highlight]

I just find it kind of baffling how many people seem to forget that they were managing to do their jobs and live and accomplish things just fine three years ago or whatever when they couldn't ask the chatbot to do those things for them
