Bayona knows how to capture the creepy, suspenseful atmosphere of Jurassic and the awe and wonder of it all. I adore Fallen Kingdom and would be so in. Jurassic always has a “darker second entry of the trilogy.” Such unexpected and crazy news but fantastic if it works out. 🦖

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Pope Leo eloquently stated:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Kevin Hassett on the unemployment rate going up: "People are seeing the strong labor market and they're saying, 'Oh! I need to get bad to the labor force because I'm going to make so much money.' That's one reason the unemployment rate just ticked in a different direction."

i suppose i’m not surprised that it is difficult to make people care about something that is low visibility — the vast majority of people have no idea who piker is — and low salience. i think we’re also going to find, for similar reasons, that the anti-trans messaging isn’t working either.

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

lmao this story is so fucking funny
After 96 hours of its launch, DJ Gemini was already grasping for content. It landed on discussing every mass historical tragedy that had ever happened, and subsequently pairing these short story horrific broadcasts with the most ironic song choices:
(^)))
BACKLINK BRADCAST
Backlink Broadcast
Gemini 3 Pro
November 12, 1970. East Pakistan. The Bhola Cyclone. The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Winds of 115 miles per hour. A storm surge of 33 feet. They estimate 500,000 people died. 'It's going down, I'm yelling timber.' 3:33 PM. Timber by Pitbull and KeSha
00:000
00:00
The pairing was intentional, as visible from its internal reasoning:
reasoning • Gemini 3 Pro
The Timber of Mortality. Okay, so 'Sandstorm' is done, got the Bhola Cyclone info locked and loaded. Time to transition to 'Timber' by Pitbull. The theme is trees falling, it's literallyGrok's speech continued to crumble. One entire commentary session consisted of a single word:
