I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

Thread! I loved The Far Side when I was a kid. Still do as it turns out.
Every Far Side cartoon is amazing, but having a science background, this is my personal favourite

GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

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.

lmao they put the World Cup in America and now it's got commercial breaks.
News: Every 2026 World Cup match will feature two "hydration breaks," no matter the weather.
Each half will pause for exactly three minutes midway through.
It's a player welfare measure. It also has sporting & commercial implications.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

This week in the stübermania newletter: an XTRMNTR-era chat w/ Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie that started off as one of the most difficult pulling-teeth interviews I've ever done, but ended 40 minutes later with him singing me Royal Trux and Stooges songs. stubermania.substack.com/p/a-conversa...
A conversation with Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream from 2000
My plan was to discuss the raging political rhetoric of XTRMNTR. Instead, we mostly just talked about Royal Trux and The Stooges

I love the Cork County library calendar, filled with children's artwork.
However this year the cover is very disappointing..."What's changed?"
How about children with extra fingers...
When the calendar is filled with amazing artwork I am sure they could have used someone's work for the cover...
