Some highlights from Beyond Amazing: Spider-Man, the exhibition currently running at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (till Feb 6 this year).

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

When in doubt, Shrek it.

Best algorithms in the world. Only at Disney+.

Thanks, YouTube.

This is apparently the first footage of the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas today. A huge detonation. It looks like fireworks are ignited from the inside the Cybertruck. (🎥 Gambling News)

Happy New Year from Hogan’s Alley!

The best gifts for the holidays I could have asked for. My eternal gratitude to @aesjayyy.bsky.social ❤️

Team Costco.

Say it with us—a library loan is not a lost sale! 📚

I’ve been really worried about the safety, mental health, and honestly existence of our trans youth. I was really happy, today, to discover this small way I could help — maybe you will be too: www.transanta.com/home?utm_sou...

Six years since this collection was cancelled and I'm still sad about it.

I'm pretty confident Elon wrote this bsky.app/profile/phil...

So to clarify, the pediatric cancer research funding bill in the Senate that Republicans said never passed because of Schumer was actually held up by Rand Paul the entire time. Yet another lie.

It's been two days since I first traveled on the Interstate by bus. My body still feels like I'm traveling today.

The best sleep is the one right after you finish an overdue paper that took two days to write but should have taken seven.

@thegameawardsfeed.bsky.social, no matter what else goes on in your ceremony, the orchestra is perfection every single time.

If there are alternative realities out there, I hope there is a world where certain individuals remained a priest, a student of the arts, a stonemason, a librarian, and an ophthalmologist.

The year-end is not always cheerful for everyone. Even if you are the co-creator of Superman. Happy holidays. (Picture courtesy: u/HyperPunch over on Reddit)

As debates rage over the UHC CEO incident, it is always worth it to take a moment and think about how capitalism has always been a disguised genocide of the working class.

I tend to think that if you don't want a publisher doing something, don't sign a contract that lets them do it. Most of the contracts I see these days, if they mention moral rights, do it in a clause where the creators waive them in advance.

This problem only magnifies when considering DOOMSDAY CLOCK. The desire to bring in those characters into your "mainline" universe reeks of a blatant lack of originality and an egregious brand of consumerism. Especially with the relationship the writer of those characters has had with the company.

You’d better be gone when I wake up- I only want to see this week’s links from Clark Burscough (art from Eddie’s Week by Patrick Dean) www.tcj.com/thank-you-fo...

Don't be me when I fluster and say Tom Ford instead of John Ford in film class.

Making up for not being on @pt.letterboxd.social (yet)!

A dozen bands/artists to get to know me Adele Daft Punk Florence & The Machine Green Day Kendrick Lamar Lucky Ali MF DOOM Mick Gordon Nirvana Pink Floyd Queen Sneha Khanwalkar Yes, it's agonizing. Yes, a dozen isn't enough. Yes, this is in alphabetical order.

Cue all the foolish lawyer jokes please.

For all the @mancity.com fans in the house! #football, bloody hell indeed.

Welp, looks like it's time to put it on repeat again.

Two X-cellent writers! Happy birthday, Chris!

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

There's only one choice.

To think that this gem came out of a game jam! @maddymakesgames.com, thank you. ❤️

Being able to teach "My Favorite Thing is Monsters" to a curious, invested bunch of students will always be a highlight for me. You rock, Emil Ferris!

Hey @bsky.app, you have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. Call yourself Twitter.

Funny how reading @markwaid.bsky.social's irresistible "Irredeemable" made me realize the depth of his understanding of the Clark Kent/Superman dichotomy.

Taking up from @benitocereno.bsky.social, let's see how it goes!

The one good thing here is that even I, a social media nincompoop, also feel the urge to keep saying something. I just hope it's something useful.

If it's the cool thing to be here now, what about those of us who have always been here? Give us our due, world!

From today, cricket is my religion because Jasprit Bumrah is my god.

Petition to cricket lovers everywhere to applaud the genius of Jasprit Bumrah. Undeniable. ❤️

I finally got the chance to see "Monkey Man" and thought of writing a short review. Using number scores can often be inadequate. In this case, however, it might make sense. In a perfect world, I'd give "Monkey Man" a 7 out of 10. But we don't live in a perfect world. So I give the film a 10/10.
