Reacher IS large, that aspect was not misleading. However the show also asks “how much would you love to combine competence porn with Southern music?”

Swear the stray we’ve been feeding just did the upward nod at me at seeing me through the window before her feeding time.

Adding GenAI to everything and not telling you in hopes you don't turn it off is for sure a great sign that everyone likes it and it's a totally valid business and not a scam.

Reminded of one of the developmental milestones where, once fooled, kids'll realize other people will be surprised if the "trick" is reset? Prior to which they think, for example, that if a crayon box has a breadstick inside that the next person to come along will think there's a breadstick. . .

Trump lies out his ass: Q: Why was it too dangerous for you to fly on Air Force One but not for the press? TRUMP: Well, I don't know, I think actually the plane I that I flew on was at greater risk Q: Why do you say that? TRUMP: Because that would be the plane they would be more likely to go for

I wonder what fraction of AI devotees could be convinced of the wrong answer to the Monty Don problem by their digital companions. 50/50, perhaps? Or maybe 2 in 3.

Commander Shepard & Crew on the Normandy

Alt: Commander Shepard & Crew gathered in the Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC, gathering characters from across the series for a final (as close to complete possible) snapshot as possible of them gathered around the interior of the host apartment, then zooming out from the just-taken photograph

What an incredible ride by Reusser. I'd expected up to 1'30" or so difference on the day-- Aalerud and PFP as the big GC contenders who fell outside that very much on the outside looking in. The GC battle stage is set! #TourdeFranceFemmes

Thought I was getting the knack of reading _House of Leaves_ pretty well under my belt, then I turned the page and the book leveled up on me. #booksky

Had slept in this morning, so finally enjoying the Tour de France Femmes. Ahh, but hearing Anthony and Hannah after weeks of enduring the American team is a balm upon ears and soul alike.

Unfortunate that guy decided AI was the way to go but it encourages me to see folks taking him over the coals for it from every direction. Nice to see we are not out here giving any certain folks a pass.

Calling me without texting first is basically like showing up at my house and trying the doorknob.

Tfw you buy the ability to reroll boss blind abilities in Balatro, skip two blinds, then get bodied by the boss blind ability that you had neither read nor rerolled. . . :/

Replaying Valkyria Chronicles 4 after doing the same with the OG and VC2 and I'm impressed with the way they kicked up the variety of gameplayl. Mortars shooting out-of-sight enemies combined with fully split tracks (unlike VC1's meet-in-the-middle) two innovations that impressed in early missions

The great thing about Dropout's payment policies is that they have me convinced they'll cover Kaylin's therapy needs after this ep.

Meet EVERYONE in the new Game Changer 😱

The one literary award (along with the in translation version) I actually follow and once again I have read none of these authors and not even heard of most. . . look forward to some good new discoveries!

2,000 km in the breakaway by Veistroffer and Bob and Phil still getting his name consistently wrong. Gross. #tdf2026

Tadej leaving out the front of the GC group and I just start hearing Ride of the Valkyries in my head. #tdf2026

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.

The ability to dress fly is pretty much the top point of why I'll likely pick up GTA VI (and day one and ultimate edition). Nice to see it get some love. www.polygon.com/gta-6-fashio...

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

"This document is too tough to read! I need to get an AI to transcribe it" - foolish, decadent, a researcher unaware of the fragile beauty of the past "This tome is incomprehensible to me for now. I must study the ancient languages to learn its arcane secrets" - a wizened sage, their third eye open

Gutsy ride by Adam Yates. Not sure it's a good idea or worth it, but hats off to his determination to at least finish the stage. #tdf2026

Whenever someone informs me that they don't believe in using the Oxford comma, I feel surprised, saddened, and disappointed.

I feel that my level of excitement for Avengers: Doomsday is accurately captured in the fact that I opened a tab and found the video on YouTube when I heard a trailer dropped but have not in the last several hours actually gone to hit play.

I am normally hesitant to say heads should roll over a decision, but in what universe is this possibly justified?! 1) that they did a 2am test on Jonas, 2) that it was 3 hours later when they did the same with Tadej? Every aspect is of this is bad. www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/ita-...

Woke up early and fired up all the air purifiers and the CR box. Thankful to have gotten down to 10 pm 2.5. Had been up to 26 and the air outside has only gotten worse

Just finished Hérnan Diaz's _Trust_. Absolutely bowled over. A work of astonishing ambition and staggering achievement. Had never heard of the book before his interview w/ Dua Lipa and can't wait to rewatch their discussion now that I've read youtu.be/sRAKWYpOfcs?... #BookSky

Lots of reasons to love this album, but one for me for sure is that every time I listen to it I think back at least once to MTV's Unplugged concerts.
