New: WaPo staff are fuming about the new AI personalized pods, noting they have errors like misattributing/inventing quotes, inserting commentary.
WaPo's standards editor privately called the mistakes "frustrating," another editor said "if we were serious we would pull this tool immediately."

Good news: mom's gotten a very solid run of sleep today!
Bad news: to the point that I'm going to need to go poke her soon...just to be sure. (She's breathing, I already checked.)

I love this. You do need the people in your life who can do the solemn/sacred/hurting support, but we truly also need these friends who know exactly how and when to cross the line with you.
Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Watching Superman and reminding myself that if I ever become a supervillain I’m going to create a 24/7 bodyguard squad armed with chicken nuggets and tater tots. To shove in my mouth every time I try to describe my evil schemes in front of the superhero.

Unserious Q of the day: do countries outside of NA do potlucks?
It suddenly just struck me as a very American kind of manners to socialize party catering, usually literally in the name of economy (there wasn't money to do anything else)

Wow, somehow I missed the news that Marc Andreesen's investment firm hired the guy who choked a homeless man to death on the subway. Their explanation for doing so is facially absurd, so you have to assume they're just symbolically endorsing vigilante violence.

When they can’t sleep for fear of being rotisserie’d, I will rest easy.
Any sign that actual consequences still exist will REALLY freak out a not-insignificant percentage of the current DC elite
And to anyone who’d claim someone worse will replace him: even if that happens, Hegseth would still be outed. Which would inspire more pushback against Trump’s incumbents and lead to more calls for ousting them

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.
