They listened to me. There is now more chart.

Okay well Femme Fatale was another de Palma gap that was perhaps a bit of a miss (read: a kinda incoherent mess), alas

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Much of “the internet” at this point is gross and enshittified so I want to celebrate old-school bits of GOOD internet: listening to a podcast about a movie from the 80s featuring a song from the 70s by a guy who died in the 2000s then watching the unexpected video of a tribute version of that song

These are the 20th and 21st paragraphs of a story titled "Superpowers Race to Put Nuclear Reactors on the Moon" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/w...

Target dates have repeatedly slipped, and [highlight] few experts expect the countries to meet their deadlines. [/highlight] Nobody has a proven lander that can lower heavy, potentially radioactive material onto bumpy lunar terrain. Nobody has ever installed a reactor in low gravity.

The moon bases have not been built, and how much electricity they would need is open to speculation. That is why experts say that all or parts of the reactor designs could change.

Obviously he has reached some pretty impressively low polling numbers, but I am pretty sure there are STILL just millions of people out there who literally don't know things like "he is running ads about how great he is paid for by taxpayer money intended for line-of-duty death memorials"

U.S.-Russia Talks on Ukraine Now Involve an Oil Deal Tied to Trump Allies (Gift Article)

The fact that a few friends and family members of the president just kinda wander the world soliciting billion-dollar bribes ostensibly to "end wars" is a real "it would all be very unpopular if you could convince people it was happening" sorts of deals

Also I dunno how Bill Hader made it into this 1974 movie but nice work

Filling some Brian de Palma gaps, and man Phantom of the Paradise rules, bunch of stuff in there that you can see echoed in tons of stuff since, from Mulholland Drive to Rocky Horror (which came out on stage the year before but movie the year after). Extremely cool.

One video showed Dana White, the U.F.C. president, at the 2024 Republican convention, calling Mr. Trump “the toughest, most resilient person that I’ve ever met.” [highlight] Mr. Trump has talked with delight about that quote repeatedly ever since. [/highlight]

look we could all use one of these www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

On Aug. 7, Mr. Trump was in the Oval Office with a group of Republican strategists working with his team, along with James Blair, his top political adviser, and Ms. Wiles. Natalie Harp, [highlight] his ever-present assistant and provider of positive news about himself, [/highlight] was there as well.

No, but I'm just thinking to myself, fake news. But I have a lot of respect. [highlight] I like the owner, good guy. [/highlight] But I don't understand. I'm sitting here. I've done all this stuff. Look, this is nothing compared to what I've done, but I took the White House and made it beautiful again. Okay, and people look at it. People came up. President Xi looked at it two days ago. He said, "This is beautiful. Much better than I…" He was here 25 years ago with Obama. Think Obama knows it? Obama would not. He doesn't know if something's dirty or clean.

I think I'll probably sit in the Situation Room and make an appropriate decision. My decisions are correct ones. I mean, look at our country. I was moving. This country is booming during a conflagration. You know, during—some people would say it's a war, some people would say it's not really a war. When we get a war this year—you know, nothing's happened for the last two weeks, right? And somebody drops a bomb, and nothing happens, and they drop a bomb. No, I think that you'll find out what I'm doing.

Plenty going on of course but the admin deciding to accept essentially NO refugees except for thousands of white South Africans is among the most batshit racist things the US government has done in a century

Decent argument that the modern world can be divided pretty cleanly between eras when “don’t know who is calling” changed to “always know who/that spam is calling”

Wemby went into the Finals a fan favorite, left the Finals something of a villain, and with one quick preseason quote is once again the hero the NBA needs www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

"Absolutely not," Wembanyama said when asked if he'd ever consider promoting a sports betting website. "I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me."

Yes totally normal and believable conversation, I'm sure this happened exactly as he described www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/n...

But later that night, Mr. Lee said he asked for Jane Doe’s consent before engaging in a threesome with her. He recalled telling Jane Doe that “if you’re uncomfortable with any of this or you won’t want to do this, that’s perfectly fine. We can call it a night.” He said Jane Doe replied: “We’re all consenting adults here.”
