dystopian ass weather report
Chicago may experience less tear gas use as Operation Midway Blitz winds down. Cold and wet weather reduce effectiveness, while wind adds unpredictability.
Wind, cold temps can change the impact of tear gas and pepper balls, experts say

See my NS piece for why the apology was a tactically sensible move whether he sues or not.

The BBC is right not to pay damages to Trump
By apologising, the broadcaster has taken the sting out of Trump's excessive attack

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Why was The Fantastic Four so... not very good? Everything felt so bizarrely small scale. Like the whole world was just about 46 people.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Woman being interviewed on Sky News who has used a fake background image of lots of books on bookshelves. Bit pretentious.

Fortunately for Trump there is no other potentially damaging story in the news <touches earpiece> wait... I'm getting an update.
So the history of this is that presidential approval bounces back quickly once shutdowns end. But no one has ever acted the way Trump has acted, and his policies taking effect are very unpopular. Also never been a shutdown during year one; this could just be honeymoon wearing off.

Stay tuned!
Trump dips below 40% approval on @gelliottmorris.com's tracker for the first time.

Leavitt's press briefing is going to be so predictable. Going on the offensive, accusing everyone of Vile smears & insulting anyone and everyone directly and personally, pretending some sort of astonishment & offence.
Never mind that the emails say what they say. She can't do much about those.

I'm someone who thinks AI has its place in certain tasks and processes (collation of data, simple coding assist, helping with report summaries etc), but the insane gay abandon with which very senior management at my company are using it to make multi-million pound decisions is terrifying.

Listen, I'm not saying I endorse brutal mockery of Avi Loeb's claims that every interstellar comet we see is an alien spaceship, but I will link to it because the aliens made me in order to sow doubt about their cometships.

That brilliant concealment behind the black cloth was seamless. Almost David Copperfield levels of undetectably subtle illusion.
Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

I think the MCU made a huge misstep in assuming we gave a shit about Skrulls or the Kree (and I still can't remember which were which).

Why does the thought of ever trying to finish the Marvel series Secret Invasion feel exactly like homework when its a Sunday evening and the theme tune for Last of the Sunmer Wine has just started?
