Daniel Craig giggling over The Sesame Street "Forks Out", his comparing Grover to Josh O'Connor, and mentioning how he grew up on Sesame Street.

This is a happy that must be shared for your *insert time of day here*
aww yeah, of course Daniel Craig grew up on Sesame Street too and now he’s got a Muppet version 🥹😭

This week, Netflix will drop a western with Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as warring matriarchs of opposing clans. Not a one of the dozens of media writers I follow online has ever mentioned this show, and yet its three-week-old trailer has over 1M views. Make it make sense.

Imagine lecturing your child about needing to limit their imagination because of character copyright doctrine. What an impoverished world this mentality creates.

Last week @theverge.com published my essay exploring the limitations of large-language models. This week, that same essay is cited by a federal judge in Michigan to distinguish the process of human reasoning from what these models do. Very, very gratifying.

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

Sometimes little things go wrong and it's not a big deal but other times it's a sign that you were not ok, actually, you just weren't paying attention. Welcome to December, now everyone is stressed about the holidays / cold weather / upcoming travel. Thankful for friends.

might try this out bc i miss the games app a shameful amount...and also you get a free deck of lisa hanawalt playing cards? (use this link to see discount: www.puzzmo.com)
If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people
Puzzmo — The (new) place for thoughtful puzzles.
Re-imagined mainstays like the daily Crossword Puzzle, modern classics like Really Bad Chess and SpellTower, and even a few brand new puzzles.

I watched Jingle Bell Heist with my mom and we both liked it - it notably has a well-regarded script and was more substantive than the Hallmark movies we sometimes watch together.

Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024.

This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.
Anvisa aprova vacina brasileira contra dengue, a 1ª do mundo em dose única.

Após 12 anos de pesquisa e cinco de testes, imunizante foi produzido pelo Instituto Butantan. Em 2024, a doença matou quase 6 mil brasileiros.

Tonight in 1983, more than 100 million Americans saw multiple thermonuclear weapons destroy Kansas City, Missouri, in “The Day After” on ABC. A.C. Nielsen Company reported that 62 percent of television sets that night were tuned to the film. I watched in my packed college dorm lounge. How about you?
