I am going to a meeting with the Pope and plan to be surprised when the Pope argues for the unique dignity of the human soul. I am a smart person.

Hey, fellow #patent nerds. Anybody else notice that 425 patent applications entitled “SYSTEM” filed by SoftBank were published last week? That’s… weird?

Search results from Patent Public Search, showing 425 results searching for “SoftBank” in the assignee name and a publication date of September 24, 2026.

Walking distance from Pinehurst station to Shoreline station: 18 mins. Walking distance from Pinehurst station to Roosevelt station: 29 mins. Walking distance from my house west of Aurora to closest light rail station: still 62 minutes. A great victory for transit access!

The Star Spangled Banner being played by the Mariachi Herencia de Mexico band before the Bears-Eagles game in Chicago on Monday Night Football was a deeply cool thing to see tonight

Can we point out for one second that the Bears’ third-string QB was out there zipping balls into tight windows and making completions while backpedaling in a way their QB1 has only been capable of a handful of times in the last 50 years???

You know a guy actually spends time with his kids when he says, “I’ll try to watch the game with them tomorrow, but we’ll probably end up watching Bluey.”

Is it just me, or is having a historic year-over-year performance drop-off and then saying, “well, we all did bad” not a great look?

A fascinating story! Please don’t let US patent examiners find out about this one, or that’s the end of our “impractical to perform in the human mind or with pen and paper” responses to mental process rejections.

My 12yo was telling me about how they were talking about 9/11 in class yesterday, and a classmate said, “I hear Trump claims he was carried away from Ground Zero by two firefighters. That’s pretty good for him, normally Trump would say he was the one carrying the firefighters.”

HALF NELSON was a 1985 Joe Pesci TV series that was cancelled after 9 episodes, but its intro seems to last forever via an escalating cavalcade of absurd cast reveals, underscored by a theme song that feels like a gag gift when you can't license "I Love L.A."...

Reading “this city would be worse if we didn’t get to have giant piles of trash on the curb” is like reading “the outputs of AI are stupendous and everyone should use it for everything.” The mind rebels.

OH MY FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DID THAT

Rabbi Yirmeya raises a dilemma: If one leg of the chick was within fifty cubits of the dovecote, and one leg was beyond fifty cubits, what is the halakha? The Gemara comments: And it was for his question about this far-fetched scenario that they removed Rabbi Yirmeya from the study hall, as he was apparently wasting the Sages’ time.
