I’d like the NYT and other outlets to stop credulously reporting on the coked up delusions of tech ghouls.
There’s a world where Peter Jackson did the smart thing and got Brian Blessed to play Gimli (and did not put all that latex on him either).

Albert Finney playing a dying writer in a dying writer’s last chance to get all his preoccupations, anger, and fancies out on the page.

Those poor admirals never stood a chance
Yaphet Kotto as Picard and Jeffrey Combs as Riker are the beloved stars of the one season oddity Star Trek show in an alternate universe.
The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
