Fascinating. Now let's check in with Rep. Nancy Mace about 13 US troops killed in the Afghanistan withdrawal...
A woke ginger? Is such a thing even possible?
I mean, the AI founder in the show even kinda looks like Anthropic founder Dario Amodei.

What a world
This particular episode of the X-FILES scared me so much as a kid I wrote a short story blending it and John Steinbeck's THE AFFAIR AT 7 RUE DE M– when I was in the eighth grade 😂
would read
You will not *believe* how relevant this X-Files episode from 1993 is to this moment of AI-fueled warfare. I lost my mind when I watched it this week and had to write about it.
It's just wild how it's become praxis for one party to play into this. Imagining if Buttigieg, in his official capacity as Transpo Sec, had regularly urged people to avoid the backwoods of Georgia lest they get Deliverance'd.
thinking of the west bloomfield, michigan jewish community and hoping everyone stays safe.
“I’ve never been to a ballet. I’ve never seen an opera ... What I was doing yesterday was virtue signaling ... It’s a modern way to garner clicks, likes, approval and all kinds of things like that from people ... I didn’t really think about why I was doing it.”
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Genuinely have been thinking about this for several days
Everyone has never needed to calm down more than they do about this.
He really seems to think he backed himself into a corner with this 10-movies-and-I'm-out thing and is trying to find loopholes to avoid #10 until it's the right project and the right time. As if anyone would feel betrayed if he went back on his dumb pledge. It all feels so arbitrary.
Very excited that we're somehow getting another day of discourse out of The Florsheim Affair, one of the most delightful stories of this awful last year and change. Keep on clompin' boys! defector.com/report-presi...
He's gonna feel so dumb when he realizes Wes Anderson has already released two separate movies called The Popinjay Cavalier.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Wild to keep doing this bullshit right now as their antique machismo theory of war is crashing into the mountain of reality.
me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers
The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.
this would never happen in the gay of hormuz
[im sorry i dont know how to process catastrophe]
Be serious, HBO Max.
America no longer innovates in the tech world but we are always breaking new ground when it comes to heckling

The best advice I have for writers is: the harder you try to impress people with your prose, the worse your prose will be. Sit down and try to communicate honestly, you will find the places for your flourishes and metaphors that actually serve greater meaning rather than your own ego.
I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
