That rascally Taylor Swift released four new songs today and for years, fans have "cast" her as #XMen singing sensation #Dazzler. So in honor of that, I thought I'd showcase Mario Chavez's take on one of the merry mutant's looks at UnGajjesArtGallery. www.instagram.com/p/DdulYOlp_s...

‘Independent CNN Oversight Board’ To Be Hand Picked By Paramount
Earlier this week we noted how California Democrats fecklessly folded to Paramount's demands and settled the 12-state antitrust lawsuit against Paramount's $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. We also noted how the conditions affixed to the deal are largely pathetic, and generally consist of a lot of performative fluff Paramount itself recommended and California AG...

Besides all the jobs lost, which is devastating, why is America ruining one of its best industries like this. This monster will not promote competition, innovation, new ideas, new talent, human creativity.

I'll be a guest teacher at the Wheeler School next month, too. If you or someone you know is a New England teacher that would like a real live cartographer to come to your school and do some hands-on activities about maps, geography or astronomy, please reach out!
If we outlaw moving to New York from other US locations, only outlaws with move to New York from other US locations. Is this anything?

Grocery shopping and overhearing a married couple talking. One just came back from a business trip for gifts for everyone in the family except the spouse. Spouse said, "oh they'll be so excited," while their entire posture shrunk. The heartbreaking drama of day-to-day life.
Hey Blue folk. 20-minute interviews over Zoom. Good or bad sign?

#SpiderMan Brand New Day is now the highest grossing domestic film of all-time and I think we all know why. This guy! Mac Gargan! The #Scorpion!

It's not the not getting jobs that's soul crushing. It's terrible but down market, tough times, etc. It is the not getting interviews. Applying to the exact same position as I held, in title and duties, and getting a form email rejection.
Solar passed nuclear in Texas 2 years ago. Now it's double. Texas is what makes this chart powerful. This isn't green ideology winning. It's pure economics. Solar is cheap, modular, scalable & incredibly fast to deploy. Wind keeps growing too. When economics take over, ideology becomes irrelevant.
@madsduck.bsky.social Just realized I totally forgot to get in on this round of commissions. Sorry for missing the deadline. I'll get you next time.
For the cheap seats, Ellison is not taking paramount out of LA. Deadline and the trades happily carry his water because clicks. The “deadly serious” and put the deposit on the moving trucks claims here are about as threatening as a “double dog dare.” deadline.com/2026/09/para...
