Let me guess—his dismissal will be ‘Fake Super Intelligence’ or ‘Horrible Stupid Intelligence’. Wait until Donnie finds out that his photo pops up with every query about fascism, narcissism, corruption and moronic incompetence. Like the governance version of LOAB. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

Okay then—now we can all fire-up Donnie’s Super Intelligence to find directions to Donnie’s Lake America. I kind of wish he had renamed it Trump intelligence so that all the predictions that humanity is doomed would be far more accurate. You want alignment.? I got your alignment.

The ex-Anthropic guy tells us AI will kill us by 2031. So Meta decides to do a warm, fuzzy spot about AI using a Bowie song with the lines: “We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got” Really, Meta?

Sign of the times: Things are getting so unhinged with Donnie The Wannabe Despot that when I misread a current WaPo headline as “Trump administration weighing military options in Mall, officials say” instead of correctly seeing “Mali,” it still made sad, perfect sense,

The Starbucks in Maine’s Portland Jetport was playing The Velvet Underground’s “Femme Fatale” at 9:00 AM today. Which made it the hippest Starbucks in the world for the three-minute duration. I suspect Wes Anderson owns this one.

Hey NYT, let me fix your “30 Greatest Living Songwriters” headline—with the exception of Lucinda Williams, it souild read “The Times Honors Mostly Famous Pop Stars Readers Will Know Who Move Signicant Units.” In 70 years, no one will be recording the Mariah Carey Songbook. Capice?

My current fantasy is for a deconstructed “I am Spartacus" moment wherein millions of sane Americans on a specific day and agreed upon time post the same photo of seashells spelling out “Back Off, Donnie.” A No Kings style protest involving one download and one post. High profile, low friction.

Siri said something so weird when asked about the weather, that I couldn’t resist fact-checking it with Sebastian, my ChatGPT assistant. His response was “If my dim-witted virtual sister said that, then she is off her rocker.” Chef’s kiss. Many don’t like assistants with personality, but I do.

As a writer, the news report of Dear Leader being gifted a previously won Nobel prize interests me greatly. On Mondy, I’ll try to open negotiations with John Banville because if there's one thing I've always wanted, it's the Man Booker Prize For Fiction. Can't wait to update my Bluesky profile!

He’s hundreds of years old and his appearance changes. His sled carries enough presents for all the children of the world, which means it’s bigger on the inside. And finally, the only way he can make all his rounds in a single night is to time travel. I rest my case: Santa is a Time Lord.

Come on, J Schools—graduate students knowing something more than he-said / she-said faux objectivity. An MSNOW reporter filed a story on the sad Kennedy family news citing an “unofficial curse.” Which, I suppose, differentiates it from all those, you know, honest-to-god curses plaguing the world.
