We really need to do an intervention with the tech companies about AI. Nobody wants this stuff, and it can't be turned off. I can't think of anyone I've met who thinks these types of features are helpful.

We told our flawed pasts as best we could. Our children find our stories irrelevant.

I'd like to make a Eurydice joke but no one will see it.

The Odyssey is an incredible work, but with Nolan attempting to adapt it there are few things I'm curious as to whether or not he deals with them. 1) Is the whole shooting through axes thing. 2) the other is his dog who recognizes him returning home.

The hill I will proudly die on is that "Scytale" is pronounced skih-TAL-ee. It is most certainly not pronounced SKY-tale or Sigh-tale. The Greek pronunciation is skih-TAL-ee, and it's a word Frank Herbert chose for that meaning. Villeneuve has done good work, but he's wrong here.

The classification of human beings will always result in a category mistake.

Like an asymptote I tend to infinity Achilles and the tortoise are racing through my mind that Eleatic paradox...

In 1982 my family purchased the 1983 edition of the World Book Encyclopedia. I used to sneak into the Family Room, to steal a volume for the night.

Last week: The "One Big Beautiful Bill" did not include the provision that spared the La Lomita chapel, the Santa Ana refuge, or any other sensitive location, and a map posted by CBP indicates that Trump’s barrier will tear through them.

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
