This is the thing. If AI is supposed to save you time for the things that Really Matter, and reading a book to your baby is not something that Really Matters, then what are you doing? These guys really just want AI to live their lives while they grind Kalshi and Polymarket all day every day.

Haven’t seen Reacher, but watching Neagley. It’s pretty good, scratches a similar itch to Jessica Jones. Solid premise for a PI investigation show, a bit campy at times, but it doesn’t really shy away from it

One obvious problem here is that both sides are led by bullies who believe the only time anyone would ever make a concession is if they were weak. Therefore any overture or attempt at compromise is interpreted as proof they've got the other guys on the ropes and are close to claiming total victory.

Not your first line, but I did love this banger of a quote. “Mondays confirm our existence. That Monday keeps happening points out to us that we are shackled to this mortal frame, and all its various pains and pratfalls … if you are fully into the hedonism of the lasagna, it’s not even Monday”

Fundamentally, we need to educate people to be self-sufficient, critical thinking, social creatures. AI literally is a shotgun to the knees on all three.

This may end up being the most consequential story I’ve written, or one of them. “How many AI data centers are actually functional” is the most obvious question of the bubble - and the most important answer to understand what’s going on - yet answering it with any specificity has taken years.

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.

Following up on this, the DoJ (Todd Blanche) can now overrule the Bureau of Prisons and unilaterally determine where federal prisoners serve their sentences. This is a massive consolidation of power to prosecute political enemies. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/09/18/b...

I wonder how many of those 59 capitals with an arch were dictatorships at some point. For example the The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile was commissioned by Napoleon, an self proclamed Emperor. Perhaps, the USA has no arch because it was formed by removing the king then straight to democracy.
