Oh, the other thing? The spokesman for the oh-so-very grass roots Tea Party who insisted it was made up of regular people across the political spectrum was a former healthcare insurance company executive. The article -- which was from The New York Times -- did not point that out. I looked him up.

Researching for a podcast I'm on I found a story from years ago about the Tea Party complaining about a depiction of them in Captain America. Sam Wilson was Cap in that run and he runs into a Tea Party protest. The spokesman said the depiction of them was not valid and demanded a retraction.

I say it's not! Looking forward to my interview with the Times that will surely appear soon.

Sorry for not correctly capitalizing "Moon". I would have if the Moon was real.

Seems like as good a time as any to repost my "10 reasons I know the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked" I wrote years ago. johnmoltz.com/post/1464072...

What's this I'm hearing about a six movie deal for the Hot Ones guy to bring "Farmer Giles of Ham" to the big screen?

The name "Kaiser Permamente" comes from when Otto von Bismark kissed Hindenberg goodbye for the last time and said "We'll always have the Kaiser."

Elapsed time to update Apple TV to show that “F1” is an Oscar winner: seconds or minutes. Elapsed time to get apps that create non-consensual sexual material, even of minors, off the App Store: pending.

All 10 episodes of Starfleet Academy are now out there. It's the best first season of Trek in a very long time. Give the kids a chance.

Sometimes it's weird when you wake up and the first thing the internet says is something like "HOPE YOU GOT A TIGHT 10 ON GEORGE LUCAS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY."

Starfleet Academy is a very good show. If you don't like it, that's fine. If you have a vendetta against it, maybe get some therapy.

Does Apple still not have any official accounts on Bluesky (or Mastodon)? Are they really still using X as their primary (only?) text-based social media platform? www.macrumors.com/2026/02/26/a...

I saw this last night and was trying to remember it this morning and thought "Oh, it's 'iceskate duck'."

Tukwila was the one WA state town on that list of new ICE facilities that came out a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, be we finally canceled our Prime subscription so... who's laughing now?

This is just a fantastic interview with Tony Gilroy. If you liked Andor—which you should, because it's amazing—give it a read.

Just gonna point out again (and again and again) that Grok and X and other apps that create this kind of sexual imagery are still available on the Apple App Store by Apple, the safest place on Earth (citation: Apple marketing materials).

If you had told me in the late '90s that the company I bought books from online would be pushing a surveillance police state on us in a few decades I for sure would have thought you were paranoid.

Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings (1978) Excalibur (1981) Dragonslayer (1981)

When I first opened these I thought "The creme doesn't change color. It's just blue." It wasn't until the day after consuming some that I realized where the color-changing property would manifest.

To my mind, this is exactly the right take. AI has a number of useful applications but is being vastly oversold in order to make venture capitalists and AI company executives and investors richer. We saw it with bitcoin, NFTs and the blockchain and we are seeing it again but on an even larger scale.
