I hate when they take off their space helmet as soon as someone says there is breathable air. Maybe you should keep it on until you do a full systems check. Or make sure no aliens are on board. Just saying
#FilmSky, a quick question; what is the pettiest thing you have had to be annoyed at a film? I ask because I am watching The Gift from 2000, and the main character does divination with Zener Cards, which are not the same thing as Tarot at all. Why go for a more boring looking option?

what the hell are we doing?
Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."

During my life, the USA bombed Vietnam, Cambodia, El Salvador, Grenada, Libya, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq ... I'm forgetting a lot! The US is fairly "war-monger-ish," so I'm not shocked. It's depressingly the same. We are the scourge of the galaxy.

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes."
This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize.
Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

F*ck these f*cking CBS douches.
Dokoupil was reprimanded by CBS News execs in his 2024 interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates. Leadership said the interview did not meet the network’s editorial standards.
Now he has bosses who are ok with not having editorial standards.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
