Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

This TV list is really underwhelming to me because I feel like it matches what the 100 most discussed shows on Reddit would be. That's not the case for the books or movies list. I'm not even trying to make an argument for shows that have been left off. It just feels like...a list of shows.

Yup that sure is a lot of TV shows.

Got one of those radio interview scam/AI things. All I had to do was explore "cost sharing" and they'd feature me all over the place.

Picked up my first Belben novel and it's absolutely going to mess me up. Started it too late on the flight back from LA to finish it, but that would have been perfect.

Yeah this is weirding me out but...I still might do it. There's definitely a lot about what's happened to him over the past twenty (thirty?) years that I don't understand.

Did my WIP (my 4th novel?!) just become a tragicomic book about a family trying to hide a body?

Please stop paying for anything Harry Potter. This is where your money is going. At this point, you're not an ally, you're an abuser and we're your victim.

Okay that was actually really pretty good and much much darker than the marketing made me believe it would be.

Am I seeing two Tom Holland movies on opening weekend this month alone? Yes. Am I prepared to believe we've fallen so far that we have to take Tom Holland seriously as a movie star? No.

The Nolan film was a technical marvel and really wondrous in so many ways. Visually stunning, epic, and very hollow. Wilson's review is so good!

One hopefully obvious thought is that Samatha Morton showing up was a breath of fresh air. The cast is full of good to great actors that have become huge to mega personalities, so seeing an actual actor show up and just act felt a little mind-blowing.

If we remove students cheating, employees forced to use something like CoPilot at work, and Google searches (often using AI even if the people don't care) then how many people are actually using LLM's?

I've grown less interested in The Odyssey the more I've learned about it. Nolan Odyssey, whoa! Read the cast list...hmm. Them as them? And Them too? Sees the actors speaking in the trailer...hmm. I feel like most of the leads are miscast but who knows. Of course I still have my ticket.

I've started getting scammy AI author emails addressed to a different author who wrote a different book. Maybe I should sign them up? Maybe I should take credit for this book?!
