Everyone I know has a phone and no one I know is even kinda interested in Al horseshit. I certainly am not.

Yeah as a survivor you hate to see it progress to late stage. Too late to cure. The condition can only be managed.

Muse is blowing my mind with its ability to make phone calls

Muse: I’m Detective John Kimble! I want to ask you a bunch of questions, and I want to have them answered immediately.

Recipient: What?

Muse: Who is your daddy and what does he do?

Recipient: … huh?

Muse: Come on. Don’t bullshit me.

Recipient: Sorry, who is this?

Muse: I’m a cop you idiot! I’m Detective John Kimble!

This phone call feature from Muse is just ridiculous

Muse: Hello, is Abtar there?

Recipient: Who is this?

Muse: This is Kerpal.

Recipient: One moment please… Hello?

Muse: Hi, I was just calling because I live down the street from you, and your daughter come to my house today and she kick my dog.

Recipient: Pardon?

Muse: Your daughter come to my house today, and she come on my property and then she kick my dog. And now my dog needs operation.

Related: this disconnect warps many people’s conceptions of what counts as beautiful If they’re on your TV or movie screen with spoken dialogue, either their look is very particular and part of casting, they’re older experienced actors, or they are in the 99th percentile of attractiveness.

“Character actor seems way more fun. I would rather be a Wallace Shawn or a Paul Giamatti.”

“As would I! But female character actresses are rare, and most of them are also beautiful, and/or triple threats. Try to think of one who isn't. It's hard.”

“Florence Pugh instantly came to mind.”

Yeah this was becoming clear if you looked at the METR chart in linear scale. Folks granted them precision they didn’t even claim and used it to make capital allocation decisions. Crazy work.

Gotta keep this part of the interview rubric hush-hush

"Next is presence. Are they credible? Are they energetic and confident?" she quer-ied, continuing, "Active listening is also im-portant. Ask yourself, 'Is this someone I can stick in front of a client on day one?' If not, are they coachable? You'll get some people with the valley girl talk and those who are very poised. Those are easy. But [with those in between, you're in danger of false negatives.... If they have strange twitching habits (the audience laughed), we just can't go on with them. They're just not right for us." Cutting through the laughter, she quickly added, "Don't write down that the person twitched, though! If you have something like that, say it verbally. It should not be in the permanent record."

Lowering her voice, she reminded the audi-ence, "We're a government contractor, so at

any point they can make us turn over our [hiring] records. And that's not the reason we shouldn't hire someone-because they have a nervous twitch."

A Katseye explainer has hit the SNL subreddit and I am only slightly more informed than I was five minutes ago Perhaps we will have more information when SNL posts the host + musical guest promo reads on YouTube later today

A background of Saturdays Musical Guest Katseye

Hello this is a huge psa if you have not listened to Katseye and on Saturday it will be your first time listening to them. What I have to say is that they have 6 members but 2 of their members Manon and Sophia are currently on hiatus for mental health and it's just the four of them performing.

I would say that their music is okay but it's not like kpop kpop it's more like American music with some elements of kpop. My favorite songs of theirs are Gameboy and Gabriela. Their new music is okay but their old music is way better but lately they've gone like a more mature route. I haven't been keeping up with them that much in their new era but their youngest member is currently 18 and was she was 16 when they were formed back in 2024 and was 17 last year when their whole aesthetic changed to make them more mature. What I am to say is that I'm pretty sure their label hybe started to make their music more mature when she's in the middle of being 17 and having her learn suggestive choreography.

Also the Hiatus of Manon is talked a lot in the fandom because people are saying she was forced to take the hiatus by Hybe. Also people are saying she was mistreated by the label and she hasn't been with them since February 2026 and that's why she's currently on her hiatus. Finally Sophia is their leader of the group took one as well on August 2026 and I don't know why she took one but she said it was for mental health and wellness.

Just wanted to inform you guys about Katseye.

By the way, since she mentioned this was a pre-K report card, here’s what was measured on the first progress report for my son’s equivalent. Got it yesterday. Social and emotional skills is most of it! Because that’s what’s important for 4-year-olds to learn so they can share space together!

Learning Skills for Success

Demonstrating self-control and accepts responsibility for behavior

Follows rules, procedures and directions

Works independently

Cooperates with one another (e.g. taking turns, sharing)

Follows playground rules and proposes solutions to conflicts, seeking adult assistance when necessary

Participates positively and cooperatively as group members

Uses time effectively to produce quality work

Shows awareness of others' feelings, needs, and property

Listens to others without interrupting

ELA
Match some uppercase letter names to their printed form (FLS 2.4)

Math
Recognize and name a few written numerals under 10 (CC1.5)

She even went on to say that it’s important for parents of boys to just ignore the things they aren’t yet good at. As if those things just correct themselves. And, uh, citing Thomas Sowell is a CHOICE

Katherine Boyle

Fwiw, we love our kid's Catholic school and teachers. The state requires these
assessments, which is another lesson: you can never fully opt out of the system, but you can you focus on the things that matter.

Katherine Boyle

Too many of you see a boy who's good at math and bad at "circle time" and are proving my exact point.

"Many things" doesn't mean he's a monster kid- it refers to a range of difference that's beaten out of boys as "deficiency" "weirdness" or "hyperactivity", which is what state assessments are looking for at four.

Many a good parent with an active or different kid is sent to the doctor and returns with an ADHD diagnosis and drugs.

Praising boys for the things they're good at is good, and ignoring the things they're slow to learn is an important part of parenting boys.

Katherine Boyle

Finally, here's the best parenting book that no one has heard of but everyone should read: the great Thomas Sowell talked about gender difference in early childhood before anyone, and how detrimental it can be to focus on the "lateness" of boys versus their unique gifts. Highly recommend to boy parents and only wish he had written more.

Oh, that reminds me of the time a GP at Andreessen popped off with this wild take

Katherine Boyle post

My son came home with a Pre-K report card; I read it and was thrilled. My husband read it and was baffled.

I read it and anchored on the lines that really matter: "He excels quickly in all his math assignments and has mastered the math and reading concepts presented.”

My husband focused on the extra full page on "social emotional growthạcommentary and looked confused the whole time. "What does any of this mean?"

"Nothing," I said. "Ignore it."

And then that evening we explained to our son the lesson that is going to get him through his life: "People will put up with many things if you are excellent at math. You're so good at math. We're proud of you.”

And that was that.

There are many important posts going viral today about the tragedy of young men. Combatting the systems that seek to destroy their nature begins in the home, and it begins young.

I don't care about the "social emotional growth" of my sons because I know what values we're instilling in them. Telling them what really matters begins with dad and mom.

The family can be a reprieve from all the nonsense. It requires constant vigilance, but it's the first step in preparing them for the madness outside.
