A movie about a guy who gets eaten by a whale, but the whale is bulimic so the movie is 10 minutes long.

I got access to a leaked script for Gremlins 3 and you guys aren’t gonna believe it. What happens is that someone feeds the Mogwai raw milk after midnight and leaves FOX News on and by morning they’re MAGA.

I think this is happening a lot among AI companies. They don’t have the time or the resources (or so they say) to properly test, AI models or tools to the public. So the public is the beta tester and the guinea pig.

You have to really wanna do stuff like make it a Plex / Jellyfin media server and share it with others to make it worth having it networked. If it’s just for personal storage/backup the only reason for a NAS is for remote access / ease of access across different computers / mobile devices.

I'm not recapping this season of "House of the Dragon" for WashPo which is kind of a relief - it really went astray last season and writing about it requires rushing to Google/IMDB/Westeros Wiki every 30 seconds to look up some obscure character or dragon name. Will keep watching to see if improves.
