In Chicago for the weekend, drove past Loyola - Bellarmine Hall, Campion, Gonzaga, Ignatius, Marquette, Xavier - and it made me really glad that Francis was Pope because the Jesuits definitely could use more people to name stuff after.

I wonder if a lot of people casually using and accepting LLMs think they’re basically just newer better versions of Watson that beat Ken Jennings at Jeopardy 15 years ago, and forget that the team programming Watson took great pains to ensure its answers were accurate.

I just this morning learned of the death last week of Joe Don Baker, whose work (like Emmet Walsh and many others) exemplified two big life lessons:

2. Still, if you give whatever story you’re in your best, you can make it a lot better.

Here's a really visceral example of why everyone should be upset about potentially privatizing the USPS-- whether you ship things, or have things shipped to you, you would be VERY effected.
That price from UPS is the next "cheapest" international rate compared to USPS rates.

I thought his choices of VP (loathsome and faithless) and cabinet (most wildly unqualified) were intended mainly to ensure there could never be a 25th amendment letter, even if some medical catastrophe renders him transparently unfit.

My good deed for the day:
A friend posted an adorable selfie with their dog, and the caption “Any dog is a lap dog if they believe hard enough,” and I heart emojied and did NOT reply “Try telling that to Jeff Sessions.”

Are there any action movies where the bad guys get a training montage?
In Rocky III there’s a montage where scenes of Rocky (now champ) at the gym having a photo op where he pretends to train are interspersed with scene of Clubber Lang training ferociously.
Other, better examples?

Watching the last 11 days, I just keep thinking “oh, I remember when that happened on Babylon 5.” So, thanks @straczynski.bsky.social for being prescient.

Over Christmas my oldest and I played 4 turns of East Front. He liked it. So today at 11 we started setting up West Front and explaining the additional rules for paradrops, sea invasions et. al. At 2:20 we were ready to start the first turn.
Longest day, indeed.

We tell children the answer to school mass shootings is live shooter drills and bulletproof backpacks and then act surprised when they grow up and their response to gun violence is dark humor.
