Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

Now I really want to see A Muppets Odyssey. Follows Kermysseus for 20 years, past the one-eyed, big-nosed Polygonzmus, the heckling twin terrors of Statlercylla and Charybdorf, the siren call of Electic Mayhem and more as he heads home to Pignelope.

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

This was a great read, and now I'm off to check out the traffic light I've lived next to for decades.

“There are colors that I want to show you, but I can’t. …You probably saw some of them today, but I can’t show them to you on a screen.…Instead, I have to show you how to find them in the real world.” Forget touching grass, just stand under trees. And more! moultano.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/w...

The fact that this exists blows my mind. The rise of NAND Flash during my adulthood is one of the most astounding technological developments that we take for granted.

It's the first day of the World Cup! No, not that World Cup. The one with 1000x more birds and 1000% less Infantino... The World Cup of Birds! 🐦🏆🐦!

Wow. This sentence from the DekaFit site might be the worst thing I've read this year: Dating back thousands of years, the human body has been used as a vessel for everything from taking on life’s necessary tasks, to protecting ourselves and our loved ones, to accomplishing miraculous feats.
