We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

New strong candidate for best sentence of journalism in 2026 just dropped in this wild Kimberly Guilfoyle story from WSJ “‘Honey please I need you to get this done for me today,’ she texted [Eric] Deters, adding a prayer hands emoji and a PDF with bill payment instructions from American Express.”

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”
houstonchronicle.com
Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.

One way to understand Trump's trade views: In his private business, Trump got used to not paying for things—stiffing the granite-countertop contractor, or chandelier salesman—but still got the products anyway. So maybe he thinks America should just be getting the world's goods for free, too.

This idiotic tweet reminds me of when a friend and I visited Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta. Founded in 1850, it reveals a fascinating history. We noticed how many gravestones were for infants. And for many young sibling dying in the same week. We realized that it was before vaccines and antibiotics.

Hello from Northern Spain #eclipse
A total solar eclipse hangs low over a rural Spanish landscape, the dark disc of the Moon surrounded by the Sun’s glowing corona. Hazy evening light washes across rolling fields and distant hills, with scattered trees and a solitary church silhouetted beneath the eclipsed Sun.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

Ok. But I think much of the ongoing affection for Bourdain is reaction to the rise of vacuous, MAGA masculinity. Bourdain was swaggering and manly, but also driven by empathy, self-reflection, and the humility to learn from other people and cultures. His was a better, more decent sort of manhood.

I'm sorry but claiming that Brandon Sanderson fantasy novels are "disappearing" is mental, the man publishes 2-3 books a year and is one of the very few grand fantasy authors who actually hits his deadlines! And the other two books "for men" were literally published 99 years apart.

ChatGPT not letting you emulate specific authors anymore
Prompting
Join
I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.

He’d rather mourn the dead ICE agents in his imagination than show an ounce of sympathy for the people his agents have killed. Also, if an ICE agent ever needs to be buried, I’d give it even odds that it will be because they were mistakenly shot by another agent.
