What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

Growing up, Dawson and Sandberg were my two favorite Cubs players and knowing Dawson came from the Expos made me like them, too. Will definitely be watching this.

Trump’s team is going to create their own version of the Nobel Peace Prize (why let some foreigners decide these things?!) and award it to him in a White House ceremony that all the networks will carry live.

I have as much chance to win the Nobel Prize for Peace tomorrow as Trump does, but I’m not waiting by my phone and readying a nasty tirade if I don’t get it.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

The most recent one I saw was good (going through the different eras)!

Really interesting article about a problem our leaders (and probably ourselves) are unequipped and unwilling to tackle. Data is how a problem is identified. But policy and action is how it’s solved.

The good news is that if the rapture happens late enough you may still have time to binge all three seasons of The Leftovers before it happens

important to be clear that kimmel coming back is not necessarily a post-rapture event because no one seems able to say with confidence whether the rapture is more of a taco tuesday or a humpday thing

The people who *make this tech* can't get it to work in a simple demo, and their magical thinking about it has convinced them that they didn't need to do the most basic level of preparation for their demonstration. So it is, in fact, an excellent demonstration of what genAI will do for society.

Speaking to Redford's sense of grace: QUIZ SHOW is streaming free on Hoopla, and it's one of the finest films about class and morality ever made in America. You should watch it.
