in humanoid robot movies the dilemma is always "the robot is programmed to perform humanity's grimmest tasks, but cannot love or be loved and will never feel the joy of holding a baby in its arms" but tech bros are like "great news, I just coded BabyHoldr 4.1 so I don't have to hold my baby anymore"

Voyager 1 is running on less memory than a single photo in your camera roll—69 KB. Its data is saved to an 8-track tape & software was developed when "the cloud" was in the sky. NASA sends commands and the old thing answers. And yet your brand new laptop freezes because you opened too many tabs.

Arte mismanaged a franchise in the country's largest media market for over twenty years. They have one playoff appearance in 15 years, and zero playoff wins in that time. He's going to make over ten times his original investment (adjusted for inflation). It's the least risky investment in the world.

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...
Axios: AI has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.

Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books — a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane — makes it easy to lose the thread. AI can help you pick it back up without starting over.
📖 I really got into using AI while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:

"I'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."

Dunno. I mean, I've told it to people, but I'm not sure I've told it in a public forum. It's a good one. Makes me cackle.

Anatomy of the Mothman — Pals! We’re Kickstarting a gorgeous ANATOMY OF MONSTERS book now. Jump in and join the awesomeness! —> www.kickstarter.com/projects/sma...
Comic Title: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of The Mothman

Description: a upright-standing bug-creature with human arms and a humanoid body, stands with its arms out. His bug-like eyes are red and glowing, his wings have subtle moth-like patterning. He has antennae, an armored body and joints, with gross hairs all over.

Jokes: 
- When you’re an unholy terror, but you’re also kind of a huge nerd. (He’s less “Living Horror,” and more “Aggressively flopping near a person’s windshield”
- Weighs as much as a medium-sized bag of leaf mulch
- (Pointing at wings) His wings sound like a wet yoga mat being slapped against a garage door.
- (Pointing at antennae) These babies pick up streaming channels he 100% didn’t pay for.
- No neck! His head is just bolted directly onto his anxieties.
- Relationship status: “IT’S COMPLICATED” (with a 60-watt G.E. bulb)
- Spider-man gets a “Spidey-sense”. A “Month-sense”… but it only triggers when he’s disappointed his mother.
- Likes: Flame. Dislikes: Um, flame

TODAY'S COMIC: Public Domain
PANEL 1: SHELDON, a ten year old boy with large glasses, walks along with ARTHUR, a yellow duck, walking next to him. Behind them are green bushes, a brown fence, and a blue sky.
SHELDON: Batman enters public domain in 2035! And since Steamboat Willie is already in public domain, it means I can finally write the mashup I’ve always wanted!

PANEL 2: In greyscale, we see BATMAN (in black cowl, batsign on his chest, utility belt around his waist. He clasps his hands in front of him) standing next to STEAMBOAT WILLIE (the proto-Mickey Mouse, wearing a tall cap).
BATMAN: MY PARENTS ARE DEADDD!

PANEL 3: BATMAN holds his head in his hand. STEAMBOAT WILLIE looks at him awkwardly. No text.

PANEL 4: BATMAN continues to cry in his hands. STEAMBOAT WILLIE, still looking sad, grabs the rope above his head, creating a “TOOOOOT” sound.

FIFA gave them a global spectacle, and FOX declined to broadcast it. Who in their right mind would rather listen to Alexi Lalas than Shakira????
