This review is spot on. Raygun and Sammy have an odd blend of myopia and naiveté. I'm not sure if it's me being a gym rat, but she was not even remotely training hard enough for any sport. Her defense that women are quick to criticize women is wrong. This is about palpable talent and athleticism.

Someone let me write about Raygun two years after the Olympics. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/s...

Yes, but choosing to be like Dolly requires that you either believe in an afterlife reward or care that you are remembered by others as a good person. I doubt that either condition applies to the billionaires.

Dear Elon: there are important lessons in today's headlines if you care to pay attention. cc all the other dipshit billionaires

I unfollowed someone once because she wouldn't stop posting about how behind she was on answering all of her DMs – as if it was a deluge – when that had to be a total delusion based on everything else she'd ever said about herself plus her follower count plus her interactions.

If anyone has questions about the implications of the @ec.europa.eu EU AI Act and @anthropic.com's watermarking on written or visual content – and the suddenly crucial role of an editor/editing (yay!) – I can explain. I'm up to speed as best I can with what we know now (August 2026).

All I had to do was see Drew start crying and I was a goner 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

*Older* Saints fans know that having Joe Montana put Drew's gold jacket on is uh -- what are you doing, he is our mortal enemy, pick literally any other QB, seriously ...

I'm barely on LinkedIn, so I'm shown suggestions and ads more than follows. Today I noticed a total 180 on AI -- posts like, "I've been hired as a writer because they don't want their content to sound like AI." Well well well. So many layoffs, for no good reason at all.

Amazing story. TIL thst the bar exam's existence had racial (racist) motivations.

In "Once," Glen Hansard gave Marketa Irglova the greatest set of "pleasefuckme" eyes ever. If you need me I'll be crying to the soundtrack.

Mugshots make you look terrible because of the lighting. People who aren't meth addicts take mugshots where they look like meth addicts because EVERYONE looks like a meth addict in that lighting. St. Tammany Parish's mugshots make you look like you have no eyebrows.

The bros were bedazzled by their fantasy assumptions about an unproven technology. After they all crash and their assets are sold for pennies on the dollar, someone is going to make a killing, much like the fiber optics story following the dot-com crash.

I am fascinated by the cognitive dissonance I experience while hearing one of the sultriest vocals of all time come out of what looks like an elderly lady. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOTv...

I have really fond memories of secretly rooting for Argentina in 2022 (while visiting Lisbon) among lots of French fans, but the better team won today.

Was that Chris Martin?

Why does Timothée keep saying Kalshi when the dentist is asking him whether he’s OK? I mean fuck off Kalshi but also make commercials that have some semblance to logical dialogue.

My prediction for how this will play out: Most colleges will doubledown on AI even as employers realize their graduates know next to nothing. Elite colleges will market themselves as being non-AI. Not using AI will be a bespoke luxury commodity that's highly sought after.

I'm anti-AI, so in Nov 2025 I bought a copy of Microsoft Office 2019, which I need to edit. It's the only document software that allows edits with track changes hidden. Then, because I'm not a PC girl, I deleted my Microsoft account. On Thursday, the Office 2019 quit allowing edits or saves. 1/

"how were people writing 10 page papers before AI???" we were smarter than you. you could've been smart, too. but you sold your brain for nothing

After having the World Cup on every day but listening more than watching, I just learned that who I thought was Mary Carillo is actually Stu Holden. Their voices are identical to me. I'd wondered how she had such in-depth soccer knowledge but figured she was just a pro and picked it over Wimbledon.

The wedding was officiated by Adam Sandler, according to her publicist

Like when Spinal Tap played at that Air Force Base.

Omg, where this thread goes! Christopher Guest's part in Stonehenge is my all-time favorite moment of all Tap songs. Even more than Big Bottoms. AND YOU MY LOVE, WON'T YOU TAKE MY HAND ... WE'LL GO BACK IN TIME TO THAT MYSTIC LAND ...

Wow. Big crowds at the the Epstein-Trump memorial festival.

Before AI it was NFTs and before that it was crypto and before that it was subprime loans and before that it was internet commerce.

Scott Cory@jscottcory.bsky.social · 3mo ago

It. has. always. been. a. scam. AI is the end of the long con a small group of men have been playing through technology for (checking calendar) 30-odd years. They've been fluffed and enabled by a cottage industry that made money both legitimizing their scam and offering access.

The plan: forever warp the job market through taxpayer-funded subsidies of unsustainable AI businesses just long enough for all other companies to lay off millions of workers and reorient their work processes around proprietary technology and then once this is accomplished, raise inference prices.

The sequel I didn't know I needed. Also, did they use AI to de-age them? (Seth excepted) I have an occasion tomorrow, so this means I'll be wearing my Dr. Evil dress. It has the entire "my father would womanize ..." speech embroidered down the front.

I know this is just the least of things (looks around) but boy, I sure would like it if we could ban the phrase "at scale" from business writing. Who has ever been persuaded -- or dare I say inspired -- by the possibility of "innovating at scale"? What a waste of characters.

I'm so happy to see such joy. But all I can think about is that this is what it'll look like when it happens, and he will finally get his "biggest crowd ever" wish.

Reminds me of this figure from an August 2024 article on Freethink about AI model collapse. The subheading of the article is, "When AI eats its own product, it gets sick."

Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 3mo ago

This is wild: essentially every LLM—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini—keeps using the same character when asked to make up a story, a guy called 'Elias Thorne'. He appears so much it's impacting Google Trends data and the self-published book market. Now we might know why www.404media.co/elias-thorne...

Yep. See that Gary Marcus Substack about how mathematically impossible this is.

To hold $135 at a generous 30x multiple, SpaceX needs ~$60B of annual net income. Last year it lost $4.9B. So it needs $65B in profit, somehow building out of thin air the profits of Bank of America ($30B) + Exxon ($25B) + Netflix ($11B). For reference, Tesla is a mere $4B. What an opportunity! /9
