Just saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Really liked the cast and enjoyed the visual gags. Plot and theme-wise it all worked together well, but it was definitely less fun than the other movies without Ned and MJ in the mix throughout. A well-made film about loneliness just wasn’t what I was looking for.

Extremely youth pastor voice: Of course we all love the works of Jack Quaid, Jared Harris, and Maya Hawke… but today I want to talk to you about the original nepo baby with a famously CREATIVE father. That’s right… Jesus Christ.

My kid always hates it when we chat about the news and then I try wrap it up by formulating what we discussed as a life lesson… “and that’s why you shouldn’t disappear for four months without informing your constituents” or “and that’s why you don’t consecrate bishops without the Pope’s consent”

Politico notes: “Depressed workers are many times more likely to miss work because of the condition but are also less likely to self-disclose depression issues.” I have to ask, who then *is* more likely to self-report depression, is it non-depressed workers? www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Tom Kean Jr. kept his depression a secret. Colleagues are questioning that decision.

Fellow lawmakers welcomed the New Jersey Republican back from his four-month absence, but some wondered if he should have said more sooner.

Kate O'Flynn plays the character of Patricia with an uncanny knack for mirroring Annie from Community's vocal cadence and gesticulations. It is both hilarious and weirds me out. I can't imagine the show Widow's Bay being more unnerving to watch for anyone in the world than for Allison Brie. #spooky

Artificial intelligence is attempting to kill deterministic computing the way electricity killed whaling. Dungeon Crawler Carl is our generation’s Moby Dick.

My spouse entered a drawing and won tickets to “The ADC: The LA” — so *FTC Warning* I didn’t pay to see the film. It’s a bit like “Jonah: a Veggie Tales Movie.” Though, it draws from Harlan Ellison’s “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream” instead of the Book of Jonah. Excellent CG water. Recommend.

Grumble grumble grumble. Thought I came up with JOMO, the “Joy Of Missing Out” over dinner, but a quick search reveals someone already wrote and entire book on this. I am now GOMO, “Grumbling Over Missing Out” on being first to market with JOMO. #grumbleGrumbleGrumble

Really enjoying this morning's #tt race. I would love for @badgerspanner.bsky.social and I to visit the Isle of Man someday. We probably could never afford to go during the races, but apparently you can hire guided tours of the 38-mile course in the off-season, which is quite appealing to me.
