If I had to name just one thing Michael Mann is terrible at, it's writing and directing the delivery of as-you-know-bob dialogue. Lands like a brick. Heat is full of it.

"You *could* ask AI who your website is for, and then ask it how well it serves that audience, but weirdly enough I think if it doesn't say it serves them absolutely perfectly then somewhere along the way it's making shit up."

Lotta variants on the Little Free Library concept here, many but not all on the "take a thing / leave a thing" theme. Pretty fun stuff.

if by "these types of things" you mean "crimes", I can only think of one class of people who do not understand those have serious consequences

"We'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public," Hegseth said on Thursday. "Because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things."

"I don't want this to get in the way of other work, but we do need to do it right away." I appreciate that some part of you thinks this stands to reason and is perhaps somehow even gracious

A few minutes later, I could’ve sworn I saw Moby going into Target. I said “Southside is a stupid song!” and he was like “I know right?” Took me a minute to realize this neither confirms nor denies it was Moby

I keep harping on this at work, where a big part of my team’s remit is providing web services to groups who think they need us less and less. They’re creating *hundreds* of bespoke messes when right around the corner is a group designed to avoid exactly that. Fun thing we call “product management”.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Jim Bakker wasn’t dead already? That whole generation of evangelists sure took their time finding the door. I assume there were regional differences, but growing up in central Washington my memory of Sunday tv (no cable) was that it was just hours of evangelists from sunrise until football started.

There's a place near us where every once in a while a dog waits at a sliding door until someone lets him out. Then he walks down the deck and yowls until someone at another sliding door lets him in. Pretty sure they're two sides of a duplex. I think maybe they both think he lives with the other one.

Good news gang, I’ve bashed my head on the 6 foot doorways in this house enough times that I am now unable to walk through any doorway like a normal person Also I still have my hair so the blood doesn’t show that’s right ladies: over 6 feet, full head of hair, and too dumb to make trouble

What’s so stunning about AI zealots is they somehow can’t see that wanting so badly to believe machines can make art as well as humans says as much about their fundamental misunderstanding of machines as it says about their fundamental misunderstanding of art.

Once a year for the last five, when I eventually have reason to remember the Guardians exist, I relive a range of reactions to their logo. Starting at boring and lame and ending at classy and nuanced. For a letter mark, it sneaks up on you.

man if I wasn't pissed off about the way people talk about AI before, hearing buzz about how it possesses a survival instinct definitely put me over the edge WAY too much language being thrown around that paints a really cool parlor trick as sentience or sapience. Goddamn ouija board shit

Perfect capture of two of the maybe four or five faces politicians will make during the course of any debate

Republican state Sen. Christine Drazan and Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek make "mmm-mmm. no. no." and "yuh huh" faces, respectively

if during your highly controversial procedure, someone says "uhhh we gotta get the witnesses out of here", you really gotta be asking yourself what should be a really simple question about whether this endeavor was ever something anyone should have even been considering an option

if our president and his administration are constantly doing things that help other countries to our detriment, I honestly don't give a shit whether they're doing it on purpose, seems like we have all we need to launch them into the sun regardless
