Every other Super Bowl ad is for AI because it's going really well and everyone wants to use AI. This is just like how two years ago all the ads were for NFTs and last year all the ads were for Crypto and you don't see as many ads for NFTs and Crypto anymore because everyone loves them now.

SpaceX shifts focus from something that it will never do on Mars to something it will never do on the Moon.
Elon Musk Y @elonmusk X.com For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.

When I lived in France we had a sweet old neighbor lady who would spit every time she passed a certain house. Eventually, her daughter explained to me that the home belonged to a man who’d collaborated with the Nazis 60 YEARS AGO. May these ICE goons face a similarly lonely future.

McSweeney going is excellent news. It doesn't fix any problems by itself, but it is the precondition for fixing those problems.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this
a meme — the top says “My dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life together” and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the “before,” he’s scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the “after,” he’s clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.

Goblyn Market is launched on kickstarter! Half beast, half fiend. All chaos.

A weird little rules light storytelling rpg with lots of dice rolling for maximum havoc.

Great for one-shots and conventions. Now with blocks of text as I weed out all AI art assets!

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

One good turn deserves another.

I have never been disappointed by anything I’ve ordered from Cottage Delight - their sriracha chilli & garlic sauce is phenomenal, and goes well with steak, or fish, or just about anything, really.

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):
"I'd like to share a story from a local paper in Coldwater, Michigan dated to the 9th of April, 1945. It tells how the US Army, under General Patton--the US 3rd Army--came onto what you might call a detention center just outside the village of Ohrdruf, Germany. The US Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A US Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes, without muttering a word, that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was (quote) 'done by a few people, and you cannot blame us all.' And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said, 'this was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.' The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought, 'how is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'this site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew--as we do--that we are all responsible for what happens in our community. I urge the council to take action to stop, or stall, or at the barest minimum to think creatively about how to exercise oversight over this proposed ICE facility. Thank you."

The Guardian has added this erratum to its review of Melania
screen shot reads Melania is out now The star rating for this film was corrected on 2 February 2026. A formatting issue led an earlier version to be awarded one star, when the reviewer’s intention was zero.

It doesn't always cover itself in glory but one thing the American legal profession has going for it is most of them have seen Judgment at Nuremberg.

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

Jeffrey Epstein operated within a world that he cannot be credited with creating and which endures after his death.
