Amazing performance by one of the best to ever do it. RIP Donnie Iris. youtu.be/i19DrZUr7u0?...

Gonna Raise Hell -- Cheap Trick is a great song for when you're gonna raise hell

Netflix's exclusive-but-not-Original Hindi film REPORTING LIVE is clinical and dull. My review: accessbollywood.net/2026/10/16/m... #DesiWatch

I feel like the debate about what parts of AI are good and what parts are bad should wait until we solve the worldwide crisis caused by the fact that almost of all of its evangelists in both tech and govt are morally, intellectually, and ethically unequipped to oversee it, when not downright evil.

There were so many more teens and tweens out and about in my neighborhood this summer thanks to e-bikes. Heck, there were even more kids out on regular bikes. It was great.

The thing about public education is that all private education should be banned. At every level.

“Some of us were sleeping, and then we had to work. That morning, and for most of the next 25 years.”

I'm excited to announce that I added a new page to my website with a list of all the Hindi movies on Zee5 in the US! I'll add films in more Indian languages over time, but there are more than 1,000 Hindi films listed already. Please check it out: accessbollywood.net/bollywood-mo... #DesiWatch

GANDHARI is a disaster, and it ends with one of the most hilariously inexplicable lines I've ever read. My review of the new Netflix Original thriller: accessbollywood.net/2026/09/04/m... #DesiWatch

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

My weather app casually showing me banner ads for a $24M jet. It’s like they know I’m eligible for that fat public sector pension.

Portillo’s was doomed the second they sold to private equity. All it took to lose me as a customer was something as simple as replacing their brewed iced tea with Gold Peak fountain swill. These layoffs won’t fix anything.

Happy 33rd anniversary to the greatest moment in baseball history. youtu.be/VIZB9O24BEE?...

Centrists always present these takes as savvy "harsh truths" for the left, but they're the most pathetic kind of ignorant, cowardly self-soothing. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

First-year blooms on the pride of my garden: Kankakee mallow (Iliamna remota), a rare Illinois native that only grows in the wild on a small island in the Kankakee River.

The new Korean comedy HUSBANDS IN ACTION on Netflix is awesome. Just a silly, fun movie with an amazing cast, especially Jeon So-min as the lovelorn reporter.

I am extremely pleased to have this essay, on how American fiction has grappled with COVID, in @currentaffairs.bsky.social. This is a subject I care deeply about and had been wanting to write about at length for a long time. Please give it a read.

some dope earlier this week tried to gaslight people by saying the pushback on AI mirrors the pushback when the internet went mainstream and no it fucking does not! people were excited about the internet! ffs it wasn’t 100 years ago, a lot of us were THERE

The only good thing about tech these days is falling robots.

Look, you either get on board with AI, or stay stuck in a productive, creative life. Don’t get left behind!

Good morning! It is May 7th in the United Socialist States of America. Today we commemorate the Day of the City. Preserve and empower our urban centers! We celebrate the blue jay, cyanocitta cristata. Gene Wolfe was born today in 1931; Steve Albini died on this day in 2024.

On top of all other reasons this is dumb and won’t happen, you’d no longer have the ability to talk about media with people. I’d want to hear about people’s AI movies less than I want to hear about their dreams—which is not at all. But since one of AI’s goals is isolation, guess this is a feature.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE? - dashare.zone ADMIN

A new season of the video game DIABLO IV started tonight, so I went to the town of Kyovashad for the final 5 minutes of the old season. Now I know what it'd be like if the end of the world was imminent -- just me and some fellow goofballs spinning in circles until we got sent to the Eternal Realm.

Tonight is the night Bluesky truly became Twitter

This is excellent, and especially thrilling because it's the first thing I've read on this topic that gets past its supposed inevitability to assess what AI ed tech is actually like, and what it actually does. www.newyorker.com/culture/prog...

Guess you can just say anything at Reuters these days. That headline and this lede… woof.

I will hand a Peabody Award to anybody who writes a streaming limited series without flashbacks, jumpbacks after an in medias res opening, or parallel timelines.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Ah, so this is doomscrolling

A friend described doing an exercise w/ a group of students from around the world, asking them to write down the best & worst thing about a bunch of different countries. Answers varied a lot for all countries except for one: every single person said the best thing about the USA is NASA.

Maybe we should’ve let him nuke that hurricane to get it out of his system
