Something I don’t hear a lot about when people are discussing all these companies speed running towards the singularity is they’re not really trying to create an AI God. The human CEOs at the top of these orgs think the AI is going to consider THEM to be its God. Insanity! 

I really wanna watch that Elizabeth Holmes movie, but just thinking about her story reminds me that Elon Musk is not much different than she is. Over promise, under deliver. Smoke and mirrors. At least she was pretending to keep people healthy! 

Dark Horizons wins the award for using the correct still for Tom Skerritt’s obituary. Sunglasses ON, chopper and large array in background. Contact is Tom in his most iconographic best. Strong ‘Dad who’s not mad, just disappointed’ energy. 💔

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

Raise your hand if you’d like your lettuce to NOT give you explosive diarrhea. 🙋‍♀️🥬 Public health is public safety. And it IS worth fighting for.

I’m a bit reassured to know that even Paul McCartney is concerned about how the actor playing John is a foot taller than the actors playing him and George in the new Beatles movies by Sam Mendes. That Abbey Road pedestrian crossing moment is going to look effed!

Are any Dem politicians saying that trump’s diesel deal with Putin is making him a laughingstock? I often think that restraint in such a framing is waiting for somebody else to say it for them, which is BONKERS

When you have this thought you know you’ve spent too much time on Bluesky. “Anyone else notice that Ukraine is shaped like Jimothy? “

I know it’s pretty typical for a sci-fi/superhero sequel to want to aim for comparisons to The Empire Strikes Back, but really I wish more filmmakers tried to aim for a Raimi Spider-Man 2.
