Love how this documentary is perfectly pitched (haha) for an American audience. Like: sun rising over the fields - Shohei Ohtani was born in a cornfield in rural Japan. Cut to Othani: There were no other baseball players around, just a broken old bat and a golf ball...

Good have been a really good movie.

The more I study the phenomenon of human creativity, the more mysterious it seems. Their whole process of innovation is elusive, but is critical for us to understand. If we fail in this endeavor, thinking machines are doomed. ERASMUS, laboratory notes Excerpt From The Machine Crusade Brian Herbert

This is utterly delightful

Fascinating.

Breaking News: Zombies can actually die.

It’s odd to me that the Mamdani Cuomo race is painted as Capitalism vs Socialism with Mamdani on CNN saying he “doesn’t like capitalism”. They both support capitalism. That’s how the revenue is generated. Mamdani supports a higher degree of social return on that revenue. Like most European countries

Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Yes. You also didn’t pay for “preferred seating”, you got a hot meal AND a full size can of soda.

Well lookee here. Haters be damned ;)

He might have been referring to the 1st stanza of Beaudelaire’s Correpondances: Nature is a temple where living pillars Sometimes utter confused words Man walks through forests of symbols That observe him with familiar gazes & perhaps obliquely to the last stanza on wealth and obliviousness.

The Hitler thing is silly but I’m having fun.

Hurricane Melissa is terrifying, but it's another missed opportunity to have called it Hurricane Stormy Daniels.

I know. Adding a 90000 foot ballroom to the White House sounds like a frivolous idea… but hear me out

“Surely the parents heard what was happening to music at that hour…A cracker kid in a designated white house in a black neighborhood off in fly-bitten Mississippi was about to let loose the secret beat of race music, forever blowing away the enriched-flour, box-stepping public.”

Well. Holy shit…

🎃Something real special coming out this Halloween from ZamaShort 🎃

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

They did, it’s called The Matrix.

🚨Reminder: A country run by banks will always be in debt, healthcare run by Big Pharma will never cure disease, a state run by war will never know peace, and a nation run by media will never know the truth.

Well done dude!

Who the fuck is Bad Bunny? Apparently he’s the third most streamed artist on Spotify worldwide last year? Who the fuck is he? I’m finally starting to get my parents. Bad Bunny… who da fuck?

Today we celebrate what would have been legendary comedian Bernie Mac’s 68th birthday. The Chicago native rose to fame in the later years of his adult life when he delivered his instant classic performance on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam.

Most of what I've accomplished this morning is a blog post & 400K in PokemonGo (I'm trying to hit 276m before the new levels kick in, but I've got another 13m to go & just not enough time), & now I'm going to 100 Things the synopsis for BONE & BLOOD, out in February! www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXFPLQW...

I wanna say we finally got ourselves a new Eli. But at this point I’ll hold back until next season.

Everybody takes pot shots at Soros. Even the show Homeland did. There was a bomb threat against his house uptown. I worked for him for five years. It’s nothing like antisemitic propaganda makes it sound. His funding uplifts and empowers people with real needs and that scares leaders everywhere.

Honestly if Trump can end this thing in Gaza after getting Rwanda and the DRC to peace talks… Give him his damned Nobel Prize already.
