NBC News on Anthropic's public IPO filing: As part of every stock offering, companies are asked to outline risks and uncertainties facing their businesses. "AI systems could ... pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity," Anthropic's filing said. Me: HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?

I watched all 85 glorious minutes of "The Devil's Rain" yesterday on Tubi. This 1975 beauty stars William Shatner, Ernest Borgnine, Tom Skerritt, and Eddie Albert. John Travolta also has a credit, but I couldn't find him. Friends, you've got to see this one to believe it. Just WOW

Imagine going back in time 15 years or so and having someone present this 40 seconds of footage to you with the comment, "This is the President of the United States speaking publicly in 2026." Just imagine that.

Pardons for unlawful actions would likely include: "unlawful transfers of money between federal agencies, improper use of taxpayer resources for campaigning, contracting arrangements benefiting friends and family of admin officials, and a range of behavior toward immigrants."

"If conservatives were to suddenly decide that moral depravity is disqualifying, it would be bad news for Trump and those closest to him. " --Michelle Goldberg, NYT Opinion columnist. Here in Ohio, we won't know until Nov. 3 If "moral depravity is disqualifying" How utterly revolting.

Pertinent on-the-ground commentary from people near the glycidyl methacrylate leak in Toledo, Ohio. www.reddit.com/r/Ohio/comme... "I live 10 miles away and it smelled toxic where I’m at." After this event in July, I believe it.

In Cleveland, the Canadian wildfire smoke has blanketed the earth in an acrid smoky haze, thicker than I've ever seen. The air is perfumed with the heavy scent of burning chemicals and the sun is a surreal orange m&m hanging in the sky. Welcome to Thursday.

This video of Donald Trump stopping to chat, wave and salute non-existent people is a reminder that you’re never too old to have imaginary friends.

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

Yesterday during our walking tour of Cleveland’s St. Clair Superior neighborhood, we visited the Studio Foundry, where they make cast bronze statues. I was completely blown away by this old-school manufacturing shop. WOW!

We have become so inured to the Trump admin's incompetence that no one's even mentioning its failure to properly vet Katie Zacharia and discover the I-didn't-pass-the-bar-exam detail long before a scandal could break.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I cannot say enough about Justin Lovato's "Flower Mandala" (500 pieces) from Pomegranate. The quality was top notch and the pieces were fun & funky. Two thumbs way up! Guide image included.

"The incident was a reminder of how powerful these agents are." No, "cool" white dude with the hip facial hair, it's actually a reminder of how stupid and entitled YOU are.
