Folks, it’s not personal but I will always hit the ‘show less like this’ or ‘mute account’ button if you’re posting AI slop images. Even if it’s a harmless meme or expressing a sentiment I agree with, it just looks like garbage and my eyeballs reject it.

If Dems win a house majority (much less both chambers) we must demand immediate action to halt ICE and DHS stops and to defund these agencies. Anything less would be dereliction of duty to protect our communities. If Dems waiver, we’ll march on the damn capitol if we have to.

As a 2nd amendment absolutist with an arsenal of semi-automatic weapons one of my highest values is never using them to oppose the state. I’ll just open carry in local stores to scare normies and fantasize about killing a home invader. Otherwise, big brother knows best *salutes a cop car*.

In that new puff-piece CBS interview, Alito said it wasn’t practical to overturn Obergefell because same-sex couples have built their lives around the new law. There is an unmistakeable tone of regret — an unspoken ‘we would if we could’ attitude. He then goes on to compare it to gambling…

Took a break from horror flicks to fill in one of my last Kubrick blind spots — ‘The Killing’ (1956) Such a perfectly executed heist movie, with a banger ending. An all time cast of nervy dudes in rumpled suits, led by a stellar Sterling Hayden performance (is there any other kind?).

I grew up in with devout parents who were strict about movies/tv. One loophole was that we were (mostly) allowed to watch major films released before 1970 so I was raised by Old Hollywood. The brilliant climax of ‘The Man Who Knew Too Much’ (1956) scared me in a primal way that I can’t explain.

Setting aside the clear illegality of this attempt at theft and bribery, he calls the ‘Medicare Improvement’ allocation a ‘pointless slush-fund’ and that tells you all you need to know. Also, the entire federal budget is a ‘slush fund’ as far as Trump is concerned.

Harvey Keitel had a legendary run in the 70’s-90’s (plenty of highs and lows but the highs are high). Anyone who’s tracked his credits in this century knows he will show up to star in any junk that gives him a paycheck. His politics are, likely, a nightmare but that’s secondary to the cash grab.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

George Saunders on using AI: "Writing is the most precious way one person can communicate their essence to another person. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to get better at making myself present in my writing. Why would I want to sacrifice even one iota of that?"

Have you spent time trying to write or revise with AI? Is there an experiment that would be interesting enough to try?

I have not. Not for a second. To me, this whole idea of using AI to write is . . . anathema. A thing to be most radically avoided.

Writing is the most precious way one person can communicate their essence to another person. I’ve spent a lifetime trying to get better at making myself present in my writing. Why would I want to sacrifice even one iota of that? Not even in an email and certainly not in a short story or novel.

Who are we ceding our authority to, exactly, when we let AI write for us? And why? Why surrender our agency (that amazing ability we have to reach across time and space, with our strange, idiosyncratic phenomenon, and land within the sensibility of another human being) to something that, by its very design, pushes the individual sensibility aside? And in the name of . . . what, exactly? Ease, I guess? Efficiency? The person who chooses to write with AI has also sacrificed, from the start, the opportunity of experiencing difficulty, of struggling to say what he wants to say, of making himself evident in his prose, of trying to find out what he believes. By this, he sacrifices a chance to know himself and his mind better. To me, that’s a shame. And it’s dangerous, because, as we are now finding out, it affects the brain and lessens our capabilities. Thanks, but no thanks, get thee behind me, etc.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
