My computer usually tells me at this time on Sunday mornings that I had 24 hours of screen time per day this week. (This is not true.)
It just told me 24 hours and 8 minutes... the week that just ended had an extra hour.

Just saw a well-written, anodyne description of a product someone was selling on Facebook, followed by “yes, AI wrote this for me, I don’t really know anything about it”. Why does Al allow himself to be used in this way?

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Not just nucleosynthesis! Some of the molecules in the candy bar were made by PHOTOsynthesis.
Parents, PLEASE check your kids’ Halloween candy this year. I just found atoms in this candy bar that were formed during BIG BANG NUCLEOSYNTHESIS, and many more that were the result of earlier generations of stars exploding as POWERFUL SUPERNOVA. Parents need to know about this dangerous trend!!
