“I won’t respect people’s boundaries because I am deeply insecure” isn’t exactly unheard of in Startupville, but it’s both disrespectful and emblematic of the AI industry’s fundamental disregard of consent.

I live in a small town in NE Scotland close to where chunks of the #Odyssey was filmed. Nolan’s cast and crew were all lovely and spent money like water in our hard-up area. He even made sure our tiny cinemas got on-time release of it when we normally have to wait for big movies. Thanks Chris.

This is Bruno and Rocket. Rocket insists on making a grand entrance. Bruno is happy to help with that. 13/10 for both (IG: bruno_da_doxie_doggie)

Limited raised me. in the early 2000s we called this our TBP special. tight Black pants and ”silky” top. air quotes because no silk was ever harmed in the making of a limited/express blouse. My man is ready for incredible hulks and a nupe stroll.

this is a delight

If the dams are eliminated, water in the gorge will again flow free and unencumbered for 39 miles, all at a much lower level not seen in over 100 years. What might we find on that freshly exposed ground?

"Hahaha, Kermit, that's hilarious, that really is. But have you seen The Odyssey yet? You really should. Take the whole gang, take Pig, take Bear. If you can see it in IMAX 70mm, you should, but anyway you see it, it's a great time at the theater."

Ever wonder why banks’ analyses of big new offerings like SpaceX are so bullish they read like press releases from the companies themselves? Turns out investing in a company and commenting on its prospects is an ineradicable conflict of interest: www.ft.com/content/ce34...

A degree is about so much more than making money. It’s about teaching people how to think, how to analyze the world. Connecting people to networks. And expanding their social, cultural, and political understanding. Capitalism is reducing degrees and college experiences to potential income.

“Semiquincentennial” is an odd term, suggesting not a 250th anniversary but a halfway point on a journey to a 500th. There’s confidence there, anyway.

If you are getting into Nolan’s Homer’s Odyssey, I hughky recimmend @danielmendelsohn.bsky.social “An Odyssey: A Father, a Son and an Epic” about his trip with his dad to retrace the places in the story. www.nybooks.com/online/2026/...

THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.

The Odyssey is probably a good diagnostic test: anyone who thought even for a moment the backlash was real has been brain poisoned by right-wing social media and they should immediately discontinue reading X, Facebook, etc.

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

If people don't like you, that's okay. What matters is if dogs don't like you. Then it is time for self-reflection. - Buddhist quote

I mean, yeah, no kidding, because this is a policy designed to benefit a very narrow group at the expense of almost everyone else.

Amazing that this man can perfectly execute both of the Great New York Expressions - Italian AND Jewish

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

ICE thugs tackled and tried to handcuff a man at Las Vegas airport. When they realized they were being filmed, they simply walked away, leaving the man on the ground with a handcuff attached to one arm. The Las Vegas Police found no outstanding warrants for the man and removed his handcuffs.

Post-mortem: The SEC's pre-IPO comment letters to SpaceX open.substack.com/pub/thedig/p... Can investors infer the likely focus of the SEC’s confidential review before the comment letters become public? Yes! Yes they can!

Not that anyone cares but yes this is illegal

He reportedly called his ex-wife to ask her to "lie for him" and to "cover for his character."

Park rangers fined Sandra Shachar for vandalism this morning at the President’s House, hours after the Trump admin installed its version of history. The 72 year old has been posting news articles on the site’s walls since the slavery exhibit was removed. If she does it again, she’ll be arrested.

Why is this Democrat doing stenography for ICE

ICE killed a person they weren't even looking for AGAIN. Second time in the past week.

Watched Clockwatchers @criterionchannl.bsky.social last night, loved it. Parker Posey parker posies her way through amazing work by writer-director Jill Sprecher with amazing cast.

BREAKING: BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.

Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. We demand immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

With two people dead in Memphis in four days and one the same week in Houston, that's four people federal agents have shot and killed over just nine days. July 5: Tyrin Johnson July 7: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo July 8: Alfonso Ivy July 13: name not released yet

Whatever actually happened in Maine, this much is clear Immigrants aggressively chased by goons in unmarked vehicles know instinctively that if they stop a) their family will be broken forever and b) they're headed to a gulag where folks die from neglect So they panic And ICE murders them

on a deeper level there's the question of whether "what I am" is even a real thing.

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

RIP to Sam Neill, who could fit into anything, whether it was a dinosaur park, a 19th century jungle colony, a sailboat taken over by a maniac, a Cold War Russian submarine, or a starship headed to a place where you don't need eyes. A gentleman, too, and frank about both mental and physical illness.
