I just watched Digger and people were loudly making fun of the movie as they walked out. They didn’t like Don’t Look Up, either. Funny.

WAVE (1994) Acrylic on Canvas - 48” x 48” Of all the paintings hanging in my home, this one probably elicits the most comments. #art

An exponential curve expressed as a massive wave of green-blue water that climbs to vertical against a sky of puffy lavender clouds. Light breaks through the cloud cover just over the horizon casting a flat glare across rippling water before the wave climbs. Fin-like ridges emerge running up the wall give the water turbulence and dimension.

Saw a post about AI thinking and so feel compelled to remind everyone that we can't even come to something resembling a consensus about what thinking even is, let alone how it happens. You can literally get a PHD is not knowing how we think.

Was thinking about a book or series I love to see adapted. @davidwellington.bsky.social's zombie series came to mind. Kirkman's The Walking Dead series has salted the genre since. But some of the ideas in Monster Island, and sequels were very creative. The vampire and werewolf books were good too.

my personal view is that you should treat AI as if you were a magician attempting to command a spirit that is inhuman, potentially useful, and invested in attempting to convince you it is something other than it is. you know, rationally.

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.

David Wellington @davidwellington.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Does every episode of Star Trek have to be a gimmick episode now? The horror episode was pretty good (though a blatant setup for a new show), but half of these jokey, poorly explained shenanigans just don’t land.

This thread hurts my heart to read. I have known three children who transitioned in my life, all who suffered profoundly until they were made free to live as they knew themselves to be. Once you have seen the difference it makes to be supported in that, you will never forgive those who strip it away

Jane Schoenbrun, the visionary director of I SAW THE TV GLOW, and TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA, wants to direct a new NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET MOVIE! I'd love to see them bring their unique style to the franchise (even if I have concerns about bringing it back with anyone but Robert Englund).

Defrosting soup in a microwave always feels like the scene in Weird Science where they hook up a picture of a trident missile with jumper cables. Like you’ve harnessed the power of the atom for a use toward which it was never designed

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

Yeah, and the solution to that problem would be to lock up a man who is doing drive bys with grenade launchers! Spiderman has no trouble sending animal themed mentally ill people to the Raft… but “Frank” gets plot armor? It’s just not working for me.

The only problem I had with Spiderman Brand New Day is that we’re still celebrating the Punisher, a maniac who runs around Manhattan shooting off military weapons. He’s one of the big heroes in the movie. Do I sound like a woke scold? Okay.

What a great time for comics that was. One of the few crossover events that I felt took the reader seriously, instead of just dangling keys in front of them and giving them a good shake.

The thing I fear about AI the most is the way we all kind of accepted Smart TVs which are not in the slightest way smart, they just spy on you and serve you ads. I fear we’re going to give in on AI the same way, because it’s just too inconvenient to avoid it, though we hate it the whole time. Ugh.

It’s good to make plans for the future but be ready when they fall apart. Learn how to think on your feet. But this is crucial—do not blame yourself or feel like a failure because your plan didn’t come true. It won’t be your fault, no matter who tells you it is.
