Don't say the new generation isn't educated. My son is playing laser tag with some friends and he just shouted "I LET YOU KNOW I WAS COMING. I'M ODYSSEUS, BRO."
Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
Look I'm not gonna lie, things are rough rn so I'm gonna need that Ted Lasso season 4 drop ASAP.
Hey yeah time to dust off those 2020 tweets about how PEOPLE WITH UNDERLYING HEALTH ISSUES DESERVE TO LIVE TOO, YOU ABSOLUTE GHOULS.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoBreaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.

Always check the source material! And do a separate non-AI search for different source material!
Peter Barabas@peterbarabas.bsky.social · 2d agoConfirmation bias makes AI-dreams even more dangerous. I asked a question about the prevalence of a health issue in a strain of mice. Google AI gave an answer: 1-4% and 3 references. Looked good but I checked the references. 1-4% - NOT in any of them. And I almost did not check! Sheesh....
This week’s new special variation - combining both!!!

Just my whole job being dragged by Andy Weir.

It's Friday night. I've done enough this week. You've done enough this week. Next week might even be better. But no matter what it’s definitely next week. Take a deep breath and enjoy the end of this week.
