Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai was almost transliterated into Magnificent Seven, inspired A Bug’s Life and Galaxy Quest. The latter two and Three Amigos take it a step further: these aren’t heroes, they’re people who portray heroes. Are there other films that have this particular plot? What trope is this?

People want Alex Garland and Paul Thomas Anderson to be able to explain things but their failure is that they’re kind of smart. If you want to explain 2026 you needed to give 200 cans of Mountain Dew to Uwe Boll in 2007 and instruct him to direct an adaptation of Catch 22 but not to read it first

Strait of Hormuz standoff puts supply of America's generic drug prescriptions at risk
Half of US generic drugs are made in India and transit the Strait of Hormuz. Supply chains prepare for emergencies, but prescription stockpiles are limited.

I very frequently send my friends The Word of the Day, @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social . It’s always “butts”, or something very near (“buts” has made an appearance). There are an unexpectedly high number of definitions. I’ve kept deeply ridiculous joke going, and I wonder if it brings you some joy.

“Scientists discovered lab rats experience soul crushing, debilitating depression and addiction to soothing behaviors. One researcher pointed to the endless rows of enclosures, fitted with randomized shock devices and pellet lottery machines, ‘Yeah, We aren’t sure what’s causing it. Water, maybe?’”

My most recent epiphany about AI. Around 2017, I started immediately uninstalling any game that had a tutorial step where you spend a Special In Game Currency to skip a Real World Currency: time. This has served me. LLMs are the exact same system, but in real life, to cost you more money for speed.

When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.
Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.

We should stop referring to what ICE agents wear as “masks,” as it feeds into stigmatization and actual legislation to ban face-masks, including respirators. ICE agents technically do not wear masks; they wear neck gaiters. However we should refer to them as what they actually are: hoods

A STATEMENT FROM BUCKINGHAM PALACE
His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.
Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.
ENDS

I get the strangest feeling that the internet as we know it today is about to go away as the result of censorship, expense, failing infrastructure, personal danger, privatization and monetization. I don’t know what the future is going to look like, but I keep thinking we’re on the cusp of an epoch.

From an article about the man in the SS uniform arrested for attacking the woman in Georgia. Just wild that we've accepted that there's a huge social media platform where an account called "@GasChambers" is allowed to openly do Nazi fundraising and that's fine, in fact all the reporters post there.
There are signs that Morgan is becoming a cause célèbre for neo-Nazis in the United States. The white supremacist Paul Miller, who gained notoriety for making hate-filled videos while wearing Nazi garb, said on social media that he was working to secure Morgan’s release and directed followers to a crowdfunding campaign that he said was from Morgan directly.

“I am in contact with @GasChambers_,” Miller tweeted on Sunday, referring to an X account that says it has raised money for Morgan. “We are going to pay the bail for Kenneth in the next few days he will be free. Gaschamber was very kind and gracious. We just spoke on the phone. We are going to get kenneth out very soon.”

siren
[ID: a digital painting depicting an
oil rig worker suspended by a harness and rope from a support beam, wearing a hard hat and reflective work gear. The worker looks off into the background, where a siren perches on a metal frame. The siren is depicted here as a creature with the upper torso of a woman, her arms taloned and scaled like a bird's claws. Another worker dangles limp in her hand, and blood is smeared across her mouth. The siren's long dark hair hangs down into the mist alongside the dead worker's severed rope. The worker in the foreground is in focus and drawn in muted oranges, and the rest of the artwork is done in shades of teal. End description. ]

It’s all just so gross and absurd. Words that also happen to describe the VP.
A screenshot of a tweet by Paul Blest responding to another tweet by The Bulwark. Paul Blest’s tweet reads: “My precious little 31 year old boys were just joshing around when they said ‘I love Hitler.’ My baby children. They're so little.” Below, The Bulwark’s tweet quotes JD Vance discussing backlash over an “I love Hitler” group chat, saying people should “Grow up!” and not focus on what “kids say in group chats,” claiming “kids do stupid things” and make “edgy, offensive jokes.” The image below shows JD Vance speaking at a podium with microphones, standing in front of U.S. flags and a “Real America’s Voice” logo, with a caption bar identifying him as “JD Vance, Vice President of the United States.”
