Half expecting to see leaders of Russia/China/N. Korea show up in some Epstein files. Not as chums with other supervillains in there - probably flying solo. No pix though, just code names so the writer stayed alive.

A smart AI company will release a chatbot called "My Dumb Friend" and humans will pay to have a thing act like a dumb friend they can chat to. In some cases it will be an improvement!

Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

One under-positive effect is the way the cult followers' brains are getting trained "that's not insane" so the overton window goes through the basement into the mantle. They will be hurting. Governments can rebuild into something that kinda works, but a population of crazies is generational work.
you'd think that the fact the president of the united states is completely fucking insane would be a bigger news story

Started watching 2 pretty bad movies yesterday.
That's completely unremarkable - everybody does it. The amazing part was: stopped. Didn't finish, won't read the reviews, don't care. Read an imperfect book that was 10x better.

someone was rude to me on the internet the other day. my reaction to people being rude to me on the internet cracks me up. I become an offended Victorian woman. I pull out my fan and say "goodness me" and turn to the person next to me and say "can you believe?"
