Oh no! This flight doesn’t feature “Edge of Tomorrow,” which I watch on a startlingly large percentage of flights. No idea how to entertain myself now.
Seat back movie screen. No Edge of Tomorrow.

If you're still active on X ... for God's sake, why?
Watching all of this unfold has been dizzying. On Sunday, I encountered a post claiming that, according to the “About” feature, a popular and verified Islamophobic, pro-Israel account (that posts aggressively about American politics, including calling for Zohran Mamdani’s deportation) was based in “South Asia” and had changed its username 15 times. When I went to X to verify, I noticed that this same account had spent Saturday posting screenshots of other political accounts, accusing them of being fake “Pakistani Garbage.” This is X in 2025: Potentially fake accounts crying at other potentially fake accounts that they aren’t real, all while refusing to acknowledge that they themselves aren’t who they say they are—a Russian nesting doll of bullshit.

Even by his appalling lack of standards, Andrew Cuomo's campaign for a job he'd already been denied was shameless, cynical, hypocritical and bigoted.

Slump off (again) into irrelevance, you dead-eyed husk. No decent future has a place for you.

Or as my buddy Smeagol once put it:
Gollum declaring LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK!!!

Spent the day horsing around. (OK, fine, I’m sorry.)
Horse guy in awesome red coat blowing big horn thing to start race. Racehorses running. They look fucking badass. A racehorse jumping over a fence. An awesome looking racehorse being walked in a paddock. (I know one actual horse term!)

I ride the NYC subway and buddy we have the opposite problem.
Headphones Changed Music Forever. Maybe We Should Change It Back. Your favorite song or album shouldn’t be heard only in total isolation.

Our timeline is super dark but this made me cackle. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
A popular theory of the Brightline deaths, which you’ll see in comments underneath viral videos of the train plowing into cars, is that there is something wrong with people who live in Florida. Specifically, these comments invoke the concept of the “Florida Man”—a long-standing meme that suggests the state is, in essence, full of morons.

Four hours of driving (amid gorgeous fall colors!) and I’ve now been to every county in Maine. The overall county numbers are still in aspirational territory though.
I’ve been to 965 out of 3144 US counties, or 30.7%.

Taco Dibbits! How wonderful.
The museum’s director, Taco Dibbits, said the finding emphasized that Rembrandt, like many artists, studied and consulted other creators before making his own work.

So looking forward to this panel at @legacy-expo.bsky.social! My full convention schedule is at jasonfry.substack.com/p/my-legacy-....
Legacy Expo Presents Mapping the Galaxy What lunatic would map an entire galaxy? Jason Fry and Dan Wallace took on this task for The Essential Atlas and the effort continues to this day, with a galactic map available on starwars.com. Join Jason Fry for a look back at the creation and evolution of the galactic map, from late-90s CD-ROMs to Wookieepedia fact-checking today. There will not be math, but math finals do play a cameo!
