The instinct to share something personal about Pac, but the amount of respect, care and commitment he had to wrestling and to being a professional is a line I can't bear to cross - but let that remind you just how good he was. Forever loved, forever respected. What a fucking Bastard.

TSA searched a carry-on because I packed a bunch of books to put in little free libraries in the boring suburb where I grew up. People gonna freebase Chain Gang All-Stars, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Born to Run, Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, and an anthology of modern verse, apparently.

One character in Na Hong-jin's Hope at the one-hour mark: "I saw true sadness and pain in that creature's eyes, and it made me feel compassion for a very relatable want." The same character for the remaining two hours: "Let's blow up those fucks reeeeeeal good!"

I acquired signed photos and/or signatures of Heisman trophy winners for a company trying to start a new football league. The league would basically be comprised of undrafted former college players on alumni teams.

Thinking about the Backrooms, Exit 8, and It Ends over coffee, was struck by the "shapes" where these stories unfold--the labyrinth, the lemniscate, and the line, respectively.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

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."

My favorite line from @weijia's incredible @whca remarks Friday night, as she addressed President Trump:
"When we ask questions, you push back. You give us answers, and we push back. You have always been a deal guy. Well, that's the deal. And the First Amendment is a done deal. And that's what we toast tonight."

Air quality permitting, running a 5k race next Saturday, which will likely be humbling since I'm a not-fast long-distance runner. I will probably have to run a warm up 5k before the 5k.

Thinking a bit more about The Furious (an oddly appropriate Father's Day watch), it makes sense that two of the big bads in the film are an ultra-wealthy scumbag and a total weirdo who defends pedophiles.

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.
