And now we're going to just run headlong - idiotically - into an unregulated AI world before even fixing the mess of running headlong - idiotically - into an unregulated social media world.

I love Emily Wilson 😂 Her unrelenting (and impeccably cultured) distaste for Christopher Nolan is like food for the gods!

In Christopher Nolan’s “Odyssey,” viewers see inside the Trojan horse, but they “do not see inside the characters or their world,” Emily Wilson argues. theatln.tc/04uouYu6 🎨: Anna Ruch / The Atlantic. Sources: Heritage Images / Getty; Melinda Sue Gordon / Universal Pictures / Everett Collection.

I'm on Bluesky primarily to keep up to date with the news and takes I respect. If they mess with that and turn this platform into a clout-chasing, engagement incentivizing X clone, that would suck really bad.

To all the people who are hating on Emily Wilson for saying what few people will say - that Nolan’s Odyssey is similar to all of his so-called profound adult prestige films in the sense that it’s vapid but pretty - you can still like the movie, you know? 😂

If this person thinks they have the right to stand up on start shouting loudly at people, then other people should have the right to loudly tell them to shut the fuck up.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

It's the extraction economy. They don't care how they take your money. In 20 years, bloodsport to erase your debts will be legalized unless we somehow wake up from this dystopian nightmare.

I wrote about how much Americans wagered on sports betting in 2025 and how it’s more than they spent on movies, art, museums and music combined. Read my article @fortunemagazine.bsky.social fortune.com/2026/07/26/g...

Shoulda gone with Ben Wikler instead of the uninspiring apparatchik. The Dems always go for the uninspiring apparatchik.

1. NEW In a devastating piece, Rufus Gifford, who has held major national campaign fundraising roles for the Democratic Party since 2008, says that under Ken Martin’s leadership, the DNC is “spiraling towards irrelevance,” its staff is losing faith, and there is “no saving Martin’s chairmanship.”
