It's entirely possible.

God'll get you for this, Glenn.

A medium brown dog stares through a fence at an empty parking lot. Directly in the center of the lot is a raccoon crouched defensively on a pizza box. A pile of filthy snow, several feet high, reaches up behind the raccoon, lit by a spotlight from a building in the distance.

Happy birthday! I give you this perfect downtown nightscape.

I see the PROJECT HAIL MARY reviews are landing, and while I'm saving my own for next week's SHINY THINGS, here's a taste: Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, β€œWyoming is missing”

Not a word. A warning.

... he knows they can't hear him, right

The words coming out of Trump's mouth are 100% reactive, a reflection of what he believes will impress/pressure/deceive the people he's talking to. Again, the most useful comparison is an LLM trying to complete the prompt. He's doing autocomplete all the time, independent of truth or reality.

Still going strong.

Oh, it's still great. This was my fourth or fifth time through, it's come all the way back around.

We watched THE DEATH OF STALIN again last night, and while it's still a brilliant comedy the laughs are a little more painful now.

Going great, I see

Dakota Johnson has always been funnier than you've given her credit for.

Welcome to my TED Talk, which is just the entire run of BEN & KATE and the relevant scene from THE SOCIAL NETWORK.

Sometimes I wonder if he didn't become President so he could be on TV whenever he wants.

He's Quantum Leaping, and maybe the next role will be the one that gets him home.

Clearly he tried the Thiel/Ellison thing of shaving off his eyebrows and someone told him it looked stupid.

This was his makeup team's solution, and I love them for it.

Given how much garbage is coming in the current thaw, it might just be something he licked on a walk. Maybe wait to see if it happens again in the next hour or two?

I always feel weird about admitting it.

This is really beautiful, and a quiet argument for more friendships between artists and critics. When we click, we really click.

Honestly, if this is how America collapses at least the worst people will finally feel something

Hey. You know how the AI grift has been teetering on the brink of financial collapse and taking the whole economy with it?

Well.

Guess what all those AI slop data centers run on.

Diesel generators.
