idk i like writing about country music and jazz precisely BECAUSE both genres are widely misunderstood, written off at opposite ends of the spectrum: one as too stupid to care about and one as too complicated and snobby. both wrong obvs. but damn those misconceptions can grate!

Half of the reason that people become interested in movies in the first place is sex and dating and everything connected with eroticism on the screen. I felt that not to deal with all of that in its most naked form was to shirk part of what's involved in being a critic. (2001)

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.”

We live in such an incredibly stupid era

Gavin Newsom: I just signed an executive order permanently declaring Artificial Intelligence "Artificial Intelligence" in California.
You're welcome, America.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
EXECUTIVE ORDER N-10-26
WHEREAS California dominates Artificial Intelligence ("Al") innovation. even as no state has taken more aggressive action to strengthen the safety. security, and consumer privacy of Al; and
WHEREAS, while language and choice of terminology can have significance, purporting to change something's name cannot distract a person of normal intelligence from recognizing the impotent and craven failure to take action to address well-documented emerging security and safety risks posed by that thing.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GAVIN NEWSOM, Governor of the State of California. in accordance with the authority vested in me by the State Constitution and statutes of the State of California, further informed by common sense, do hereby issue the following Order to become effective immediately:
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: All agencies and departments subject to my authority shall refer to Artificial Intelligence and Al as "Artificial Intelligence" and
"Al," notwithstanding any rebranded or different terminology used by the federal government, unless inconsistent with the law.
I FURTHER DIRECT that as soon as hereafter possible, this Order be filed in the Office of the Secretary of State and that widespread publicity and notice be given of this Order.
This Order is not intended to, and does not, create any rights or benefits. substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity, against the State of California, its agencies, departments, entities, officers, employees, or any other person.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused pe Great Seal of the State of lifornia to be grixed this 30th day September 20
AVIN
Governor
ATTEST:
alifornia

i guess the idea of genius is appealing because it suggests there's a shortcut to the tedious experience of becoming good at something. and if there's no shortcut the time spent looking for a domain you're naturally gifted at is just more time wasted. ok happy monday everyone let's get this bread

One of the most important relationships one has is the relationship they have with their closest taco shop. Grateful to live a 3 minute walk from one of the best to do it.

I don’t believe AI will kill us all. But I do believe it can make all our lives worse, which has already started to come into effect, and it’s clear that the people behind the technology don’t care at all about the human cost.

Also sucks that most national media personalities and essentially every individual sports follower I know is gleefully dancing on the clippers’ grave with no mention or sympathy for the fans, clippers staff, and media members who will suffer.

It is bad for the future of left politics in the United States that the dream so many Americans have is not "live in a country where I am well compensated for my labor" but "acquire enough wealth so that I can have Passive Income as a landlord"

That said, as much as I think this punishment is a severe overreaction and a penance for previously soft punishments from Silver, ESPN should be ashamed for their league-run-media model. Unfortunately they have no shame at all. Sports media's a joke in 2026 (even most of your fav publications)

If pubs are doing ranked lists they should only let one person write it. It should always be 100 items long and done in one day. you should be able to read the writers long descent into madness as they near the top ten. By the time they hit One it should be theories on how to trap & kill God.
