After the verdict was read and the jury released, 379th District Court Judge Ron Rangel turned to the family of slain 46-year-old Melissa Perez, including her four children.

“The jury wanted me to tell the family they were very sorry for your loss,” said Rangel.

I think online opinions would be slightly less insufferable if folks just qualified their pronouncements with “I think…” or “My favorite is…” or something similar. And there. I said what I said. 😁

When I keep seeing the phrase "AI Race", I keep asking the question, "AI Race to where?" A race needs some kind of destination that results in gaining something and all I see with AI is a road to nowhere.
What the hell is this statement from NVIDIA? What am I meant to do with this info?

One of my good friends from college, @jlfmcnichols.bsky.social, passed on suddenly last night. I am grieving her loss and ask you to enjoy your favorite album by The Cure today in her memory… and support your local craft art and jewelry vendors of which she was a talented one.

For Slate's Biopic Week I wrote on two new films from Richard Linklater that reimagine the artist biopic as act of criticism: Blue Moon, with Ethan Hawke as the mid-20th-century lyricist Lorenz Hart, & Nouvelle Vague, which re-enacts the 1959 filming of Godard's Breathless. slate.com/culture/2025...

Yesterday I actually, physically flinched when the cashier at @whataburgerr.bsky.social said, "We're out of mustard right now, is that okay?" "How can Whataburger be out of mustard?" I thought. It was beyond my comprehension. LOL She asked if I wanted mayo instead. "Oh my god, no," I laughed. 😄
