😢 Checkov will always be what he's most known for, but if you didn't see him as Bester on Babylon 5, now's the perfect time to do that. Outstanding performance as one of sci-fi's most engaging villains
Honestly the best description of Julia Child's qualifications.
CIA releases new promo video: "It has been said that the CIA's World War II predecessor, the OSS, described its ideal recruit as, quote, 'A PhD who could win a bar fight.' This sentiment is the essence of what today's CIA must recapture."
As much discourse as there is about how polarized we've become by party, I don't think we talk enough about how extreme the gap in gender voting habits since 2016 is.
second-most interesting: for small-town/suburban voters, there is a 26-point swing from paxton to talarico by gender! a whole lot of husbands may be surprised to hear who their wives plan to vote for
People keep asking me what it's like living in DC right now, and @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social is doing the best coverage of it (and other places affected by the regime). Great summary of the vanity projects here. www.turtlediaries.net/p/the-kenned...
Hot take: the death of access journalism might be the only thing that saves it.
Ein unglaublicher Angriff auf die Pressefreiheit: das US-Finanzministerium schließt die New York Times, das Wall Street Journal und Bloomberg vom G20-Treffen aus. Da früher Undenkbare wird immer normaler. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/29/b...
Dozens of jobs! Dozens! (And less every year as automation and scaling tech progresses)
Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
Even if the details of this story are accurate, we only know about this because OpenAI thinks its good marketing.
That's what you're calling a ship transiting SoH!? 😳
A Saudi-flagged crude oil tanker was damaged near the Strait of Hormuz off Oman after a Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker was struck in the same area. The cause of the blast was not known, and the crude tanker was believed to be the supertanker Wedyan, the sources said.-Reuters

When you've been calling the center-right Democratic Party "marxists, socialist, and communist" for decades, how is this strategy supposed to work now? I think far-right punditry has painted itself into a corner and I hope the new Dems roll them. (but I'm not optimistic)
lol come on now Isabel Brown: "What we saw in Colorado yesterday mirrors... this lurch to the left -- even further for the Democrat Party -- embracing the radical ideas of socialism. This is the Mamdani effect. Here in Virginia, where I currently live, it's the Abigail Spanberger effect."
What's old is new again. I remember when in the early 90s AI research was rebranded "Machine Learning" because people thought "Artificial Intelligence" sounded creepy and it was hurting grant funding. For a brief moment AI was back and the sexiest thing. Now serious researchers are retreating to ML.
Been thinking about selling art online? I am live right now on instagram taking questions! I'll be here for about 30 mins. www.instagram.com/scott.wurzel/
Honest question: (and I know this is probably 100% FUD, but) is there actually any evidence this is happening at all. I know when I lived in a community with a lot of migrant workers, they all lived in homes/duplexes owned by white landlords
