I have a copy of Wavelength from when The Cold was on the cover.

So this week: -- Stood my ground with a client, with nasty emails from them severing the relationship. -- Edited and formatted 40,000 words in 35 hours for a much kinder client. -- Can see my main job will end EOY before my 20-year anniversary in March. Tech makes no sense now. It's gibberish.

Research the EU AI Act, a law in the EU that went into force in July. I received legal advice that American companies posting anything on the Internet count because someone in the EU can access it. There are three ways to report something like this, and fines start at 7 million euro.

A gorgeous sentence among the horror: "Their trainwreck-laden funhouse mirror of a respectable media company has masqueraded as a purveyor of genuine news and information, enjoying enormous success ... while publishing oceans of trash that would get a real journalist fired immediately."

I edited a calendar with AI-generated photo captions. In three captions, the city describing where the photo was taken doesn't exist. It's kind of amazing how the stupidity is contagious! AI just further delivers, like a cough, the stupidity of our leaders and the enshittification of everything.

Maybe we need to start electing rock stars instead of reality show stars. They sure have more courage than our current representatives, even when it's gonna impact them financially and within their industry.

I would pay real money not to see AI commercials. My weekends are a respite from the all-AI-all-the-time hell I'm in Monday through Friday. I'm just trying to watch the game, ChatGPT. Also, fuck off.

"Doomsday DJ" is my all-time favorite "Kids in the Hall" sketch because of @davesfoley.bsky.social's astonishing facial expressions, but I guess I didn't think it'd be so prescient so soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=heAN...

The comment on this post/painting is 🤌🏼. Also, the IG post from our former president is real.

A painting by George Bush of George Bush portraying the moment in which he was told that the planes had flown into the World Trade Center.

My laptop stopped recognizing my Wi-Fi overnight. I also have AT&T and am in NOLA. Every other device remained connected normally, so it wasn't the browser, and I could hotspot, so it wasn't the laptop. Had to create a new network location to fix it.

I'm a mediocre dance fitness instructor. I've thought a lot about what you can control vs. what's pure talent. Did you also find the scenes in the doc showing her training to be lackadaisical? Where were her muscles? Did she make any physical progress at all? (P.S. I adore your gymnastics content)

Sinclair DeLaubenfels @snickyfritz.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

This review is spot on. Raygun and Sammy have an odd blend of myopia and naiveté. I'm not sure if it's me being a gym rat, but she was not even remotely training hard enough for any sport. Her defense that women are quick to criticize women is wrong. This is about palpable talent and athleticism.

Yes, but choosing to be like Dolly requires that you either believe in an afterlife reward or care that you are remembered by others as a good person. I doubt that either condition applies to the billionaires.

I unfollowed someone once because she wouldn't stop posting about how behind she was on answering all of her DMs – as if it was a deluge – when that had to be a total delusion based on everything else she'd ever said about herself plus her follower count plus her interactions.

If anyone has questions about the implications of the @ec.europa.eu EU AI Act and @anthropic.com's watermarking on written or visual content – and the suddenly crucial role of an editor/editing (yay!) – I can explain. I'm up to speed as best I can with what we know now (August 2026).

I thought I was the only person in the world still watching "The Impostors." It's my third-favorite movie. "I like the cream puffs! You don't like the cream puffs!" "This man is a traitor and an idiot!" "My semi-Grecian lad ..." "It has made me also moist ..." And -- "To life, and its many deaths"

Yes it's good!!! But the best thing he's ever posted is his update on the members of the band Kansas. It's the most I've ever laughed on social media. I recommend it all the time.

"At least we would be dealing with someone programmed to be honest" is the greatest tell of someone who has never used AI themselves ever. Or someone really gullible.

I'm barely on LinkedIn, so I'm shown suggestions and ads more than follows. Today I noticed a total 180 on AI -- posts like, "I've been hired as a writer because they don't want their content to sound like AI." Well well well. So many layoffs, for no good reason at all.

I have been asking for this forever!!!!! I want it for The Golden Girls in particular for some reason. Hulu has weird groupings. Who on earth would want to watch only the episodes about Stanley?

I called about the wrong name on my letter! Didn't know there was a Reddit thread. I try to avoid that subreddit. It's not my thing.

Amazing story. TIL thst the bar exam's existence had racial (racist) motivations.

In "Once," Glen Hansard gave Marketa Irglova the greatest set of "pleasefuckme" eyes ever. If you need me I'll be crying to the soundtrack.

Mugshots make you look terrible because of the lighting. People who aren't meth addicts take mugshots where they look like meth addicts because EVERYONE looks like a meth addict in that lighting. St. Tammany Parish's mugshots make you look like you have no eyebrows.

The bros were bedazzled by their fantasy assumptions about an unproven technology. After they all crash and their assets are sold for pennies on the dollar, someone is going to make a killing, much like the fiber optics story following the dot-com crash.

I have really fond memories of secretly rooting for Argentina in 2022 (while visiting Lisbon) among lots of French fans, but the better team won today.

I had a similar thought! Can someone book them in advance for when it happens?

Why does Timothée keep saying Kalshi when the dentist is asking him whether he’s OK? I mean fuck off Kalshi but also make commercials that have some semblance to logical dialogue.
