The texts were too small to read on tv, but the people depicted on the poster weren’t. I suspect that wasn’t an accident.

Yes, the precondition for regular AI agent use is changing your culture to speak in middle America white bureaucratic language to make it work. You can’t put “the good collards“ on an optimized shopping list, much less account for what some call familect: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/03/m...

“Familects” emerge out of in-jokes and mispronunciations, but they reveal something about how all language evolves.

I said we need the Senate Watergate Committee but for DOGE. I’m no Watergate expert (but my dad was at a Pennsylvania diner 😀 when Alexander Butterfield revealed the existence of the tapes ), but there was a huge investigatory staff, right? Do that.

In a private discussion today this came up: “We need the January 6th Commission hearings, for DOGE.” One could do a lot with NIH and NSF alone. There are clinical trials that ended, patients that died, young people leaving the US… and bad stuff that happened inside the agencies.

It's very good that Democrats are starting to embrace the idea that they will take back some degree of power in 2026, rather than getting bogged down in conspiracy theories where Trump declares himself god king and Mike Johnson conspires with the House clerk to invalidate the election.

The fact that every major news outlet includes vocal tics and hesitations when it’s a woman saying “like” and not when it’s a man saying “um” is itself wicked telling.

The best way to fight back against the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger is to support independent artists, journalists, writers, filmmakers, musicians and everyone else who has been walking a very hard path to putting things out into the world.

The Greenland “deal” epitomizes Trump. A huge amount of drama, a huge amount of damage that won’t be fixed for years and maybe never. And in the end he gets literally nothing but the diplo equivalent of Danish FIFA peace prize. 🏆 Stood down by Greenland and Denmark. Both hilarious and pathetic. Sad!

In the script, his character’s named Barnabus. The answer is that Xena is saying “You!” , which sounds like Neil since her tongue starts against the back of her upper teeth. But I could’ve just looked at this link which translated it correctly. Nice work! bitchofrome.com/fandom/trans...

Years back, a podcast wondered why Ted Raimi’s character was called “Neil”, in When Fates Collide, according to Whoosh & cable tv’s (?) ai translator. I found the answer & posted it to X, but deleted that account, & forgot what I wrote, so I researched it all over again…

This post encapsulates a lot of my feeling about the Trump implosion—that the sheer scale of it is likely to provide Dems with a template for a pretty sweeping 2029 agenda.

Just saw Weird Al Yankovic & Puddles Pity Party’s Oregon shows, & they’re great inspiration for my project (best thing next to Xena herself). Like a passionate stage recreation of MTV’s golden age, with full commitment to their roles. I always catch them anytime I can.
