Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

Right, okay everybody, I’ve had a lot of meetings and talks this week and I have to share some top line thoughts. Things are quite a bit worse than i am usually willing to share with people because panic does no good. It’s kinda bad. The baddies have the wind at their back. No denying that.

Folks. FOLKS. I am reading this book RIGHT NOW and it is so freaking good. It is a magical science spy novel. What more do you want?? Premee is amazing at creating worlds that feel like characters of their own and Wickhills may be among my favorites of hers. GET IT. READ IT. LOVE IT.

One of my favorite cases of someone being Wrong on the Internet was a very earnest, very confused vegan who was telling people how cruel honey is; and it eventually turned out they thought honey was made by putting bees in a centrifuge and spinning them around until they threw up.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

Here’s how the New York Times describes this moment in their coverage:

At one point Mr. Trump asked attendees to raise their right hands and pledge to him that he would vote with their family and friends.
Dutifully, they did.

I give you a photo of a Cybertruck crushing a no parking cone taken in the reflective windows of Pete Hegseth’s Christian nationalist Church next to the newly opened Jersey Mikes on Pennsylvania Avenue

A mirrored door and front window in a storefront. In the window you can see a cybertruck that has crushed an orange construction cone. You can see a construction barrier reflected in the door that shows a slightly different angle

On August 12, 1960, Dr. Seuss published what would become his biggest-selling book of all time. Written as the result of a $50 bet between Seuss and his publisher at Random House, Bennett Cerf, the book, by some estimates, has sold north of 200 million copies. The book? Green Eggs and Ham. /1

An original 1960 copy of Dr. Seuss's GREEN EGGS AND HAM.
