the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

We’re being fought to a draw by Iran, and we can’t protect our aircraft from them in, ahem, the United Kingdom, but at least the Defense Department is winning the war on — let me check my notes — beards and wokeness. Pete Hegseth is clearly the second coming of George Marshall.

You have to admire this guy's dedication to keeping it tight, despite being marooned on a desolate planet for 15 years. Ceti Alpha V didn't have food or water, but that didn't stop Khan from waxing his chest every day so that he could hunt Kirk 'round perdition's flames, tits out for revenge
Khan from Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan. He's wearing some kind of space barbarian outfit that is technically a kind of shirt but it doesn't cover his chest at all. You can see both nipples. But if I were his age and looked in great shape, I'd rock it too.

“The contrast is outrageous! There’s this sex bomb in front, and this, this creature—I don’t know what else to call him—this fuzzy, violent, nasty creature in back who only got pleasure out of making people and other Muppets unhappy. A creature of impulse, let’s put it that way. And when I watch myself—’cause I’m usually so critical—but when I watch myself, I just laugh at me. What I love about it is that my character’s trying so hard to be sexy and sultry. And this horrible creature in back of me is acting up. [Laughter] See? I can’t stop laughing. It tickles me to death.

Some of the richest people in the world want a racial caste system, and they want scholarly backing for that in the form of racist pseudoscience. And a lot of ostensibly non racist people quietly agree, and don’t like to see those who peddle that pseudoscience excluded from mainstream institutions.

This is more of an investigation than our government will do. It shows someone trying to evade ICE, and pretty much rules out the story that the van drove toward ICE agents. Of course, the ICE claims could be easily verified if its agents wore their bodycams. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/u...
