Bad news, Stephen. Your archnemesis has struck again. Ellison has hit pause on Colbert's LOTR movie. The film was originally rumored to begin shooting shortly after ‘The Hunt for Gollum.’

At least they talk about property taxes in Indiana They may have the worst infrastructure in the nation and a complete inability to care about each other - But they don't act like everything is fine while people pay $10k/yr on top of 5% income tax and the 2nd highest sales tax in the nation

BREAKING: A federal judge has ruled for the first time that a Flock search was unconstitutional and violated a woman's Fourth Amendment rights. Oklahoma cop pulled over a woman and searched her in Flock "because he saw her license plate was from California" www.404media.co/federal-judg...

Federal Judge Rules a Flock Search Was ‘Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance’ and Unconstitutional
Flock’s nationwide network is quickly “approaching dragnet-type law enforcement practice” and the cop should have got a warrant, the judge wrote.

The longer this goes on, the more I feel like a pawn being used by the Bears. I live in the sw burbs and Hammond would be way easier for me to get to, but that would be a travesty If I gotta pay for it, I prefer it in Chicago where all roads lead, so no one ends up with a 2+ hour drive on game day

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing
Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.
