As a confirmed Catholic, I’m immediately filing for an exemption from my university from any and all AI mandates on religious grounds.
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

[P] The truth is…you're the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Charlie Brown. I'm trying *real hard* to be the shepherd.
And now, Charlie Brown, I give the watch to you.

They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once, Charlie Brown!

Hello. Today I ate everything on Popeyes’ Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Menu. Some of the things I saw and ate will haunt my dreams for years ... so I think that makes it one of the most accurate tie-in menus ever?

50 years ago today, this photo of the Chicago press conference for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was taken.
In the background you can see Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert — in the clothes they wore in the Siskel & Ebert pilot, which was also shot that same day.

This gives me hope like you wouldn't believe:
The title of my next book, the 5th in the John Dies at the End series, has been leaked, by me. It will be called,
'THERE ARE NO GIANT CRABS IN THIS NOVEL: A Novel of Giant Crabs'
There is a free preview chapter in the paperback edition of I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom.

One of our twin boys apparently crashed out after his birthday party yesterday. He’s running a fever of 102.
So I guess I know my boy knows how to party till he drops.
