I don't want to endorse every aspect of this review, but I will say that she gets, for my eye, some of the essential elements of what elevateds "Digger" to worthy of of larger discussion than its earnings ... www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...
My two cents: this quote gets as close to the essence (imho) of "Digger" as any I've yet read: "We’re left to question, as we wander out of our own theatres and back into the world, whether the apocalypse looms—or if we’ve been living through it all along." www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Just wondering what would happen if all the people with access to AI that hate AI asked it to commit suicide ... (Just so we're clear, not making light of suicide ... 988lifeline.org)
This is suo important that I'm re-poasting it. And, damn it, I'll poast it again ...
Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

I'm calling bullshit--not that what's reported here didn't happen, but that the behavior reported is somehow "rogue" (since the software in question wasn't explicitly told to do or not behave a certain way).
The latest update in the rogue A.I. saga: OpenAI agents that were supposed to be performing mundane data requests for things like health data, historic photos and wait times at theme parks resorted to hacking attempts when they couldn't access the data they wanted www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/t...

Pretty sure this was an optimal opportunity to point out something to the effect of, "The dumbest MFer on Earth actually had one good idea, despite the following ways he's idiotically, cravenly fucking up our country ..." 🧵 1/49,738
I am in strong agreement with the President. Congress should immediately take up and pass a federal film tax incentive to bring back these good-paying jobs that we've lost to other countries.
Respectfully disagree. While it definitely seems unreal that this dunderhead is anywhere close to the head of the government's health policymaking, there's an equally, if not greater, dunderhead in a position of much more importance and significance.
Even in the Trump era it somehow seems unreal that this dimwitted crackpot is the top public health official for a nation of 350 million people.
for a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? A takeout menu from a restaurant that's been out of business for at least 5 years.
for a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? a mysterious key that does not unlock any thing
With all of the unnecessary, frivolous prosecutions, the unnecessary bombing and combat, the unnecessary overly armed ICE raids, and this horseshit, historians will refer to this time in American history as "The Waste, Fraud, and Abuse Age." 🙄

Good thing our President is focusing on things important to all Americans, like a White House ballroom, a golf course, the number of trees in a park in D.C., oh, and jacking up the cost of everything. Thank God WaPo is ready and able to fluff him. 🙄
A sweeping overhaul of East Potomac Golf Links will begin Sept. 1, President Trump said Sunday after he toured the century-old municipal course with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio and White House aides.

Ok so a twist on the deserted island movie game. This time you can have the filmography of any actor, but ONLY where they aren’t a lead. Supporting roles, bits, and cameos only. Me? I’m taking Michael Caine, even though it means I don’t get my beloved Muppet Christmas Carol.
