Anytime I actually hear about something I like that AI does, I find out that it's not really AI, so to speak. It's like Excel. Which has been automating processes since it's inception. If Capcom is using their own libraries to simply better automate certain tasks. That's what "AI" should be for.

You know what? I Finally watched Supergirl on HBO, and I thought it was a delight! Little slow to start, but I liked the "Just keep escalating and eventually things will work out and you'll get revenge for an initial slight." trope. Mamoa actually played Lobo perfectly to the comics.

3 year old toddler this morning after requesting Joan Jett be played. "Daddy, I have a band." "Really, what's your band's name." "Rock, shock, and barrel." "..." And I just sat in silence for a second thinking that it's one of the best band names I've ever heard.

He just KNOWS he has Smith dead to rights. I'll bet it was the best 30 seconds of his whole year. Dude legit thought this would be the defining moment of his career. Trump would praise him endlessly for delivering the final nail to the Smith Coffin. And then Klobuchar just destroyed him.

The base won't care about the lie. But Trump will care that he screwed up his revenge plans. This one thing was supposed to ruin Smith's career and put him in jail. Shmitt screwed it all up. Even Fox News pundits are dunking on the guy.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

I don't see her running for President any time soon. Schumer won't be forced to retire, but I don't see him running for another term either. AOC is giving him plenty of time to understand that she WILL run against him in a primary and she'd probably win.

The lyrics, music, instrumentation, and vocals are fine. It’s a paint by numbers country song. Plus, Billboard doesn’t count it when I spin Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik by Outkast. They have no idea what I'm listening to, in fact. It's kind of comforting, but maybe that's just me. 05/05

P.L. Rock @plrock.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

But most popular song of all time is a meaningless metric. You can be the best and tallest basketball player in your school, but if your graduating class is only 12 people and you’re only 5’ 8”, you’re probably not getting a scholarship to go play at Michigan. 04/05

This isn’t to say that Langley shouldn’t be proud of her song. Granted it’s not exactly new ground she’s breaking. Texas vs. Tennessee is the oldest god damn trope in country music. All of George Strait's Ex’s live in Texas and that’s why he hangs his hat in Tennessee. etc. 03/05

P.L. Rock @plrock.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

To have a number 1 song, you just need to be in front of everyone else that week. Additionally, the weighting of each metric (Radio, streams, sales) can switch to whatever Billboard feels like that week, in order to promote whatever artist or narrative they want. 02/05

P.L. Rock @plrock.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Here's the thing. At home I listen to records and don't have any country albums that came out after 1995. In the car I listen to Spotify's various Alt Rock playlists. Simplified, the Hot 100 is calculated by a mix of streams, radio play, and sales. But it's relative to what's around it. 01/05

I think you're also perfectly free to pick a year and be barely conscious of any music or bands that came out after that year.
