I enjoyed Alien: Earth, but the cyberpunk megacorporations and their supervillain bosses were boring. I have more fun imagining what the Alien story would be like if Weyland-Yutani were a realistic corporation, screwed up in all the normal corporate ways. williammoss.substack.com/p/in-space-n...

Well, the political news is bad, the Niners got their asses handed to them on a plate by *the Rams* and it's a stormy Monday morning where I am, so I feel like I am entitled to go back to bed.

New Rhyming Chaos podcast in which I interview CNN chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward on reporting from a capital city as a horde of religious extremists take over—and I'm not talking about Washington D.C.!
How does a city feel when it's invaded by an occupying army?
Clarissa Ward has reported for CNN on many of the major wars of the last decade. She talks about entering Kabul as it fell to the Taliban, Syria, Ukraine, and more.

When we were kids if you had given us a potato we would have burned your house down. But the ‘70s were like that.
Gemma Keith hopes to collect a potato or two this Halloween. She got one last year and considered it the find of the night.
What appears to have started as a joke has spread, with the potato prized as a treat over even full-size candy bars.

Apropos of The News, a thing I learned when living in Singapore and trying to navigate my wife's giant extended family was that "auntie" and "uncle" were approved all-purpose labels for any family members more than a few years older than us.

In the ‘80s, when I was learning to play bass, I remember being absolutely hypnotized by Anthony Jackson’s bassline on Donald Fagen’s version of ”Ruby Baby.” RIP
Anthony Jackson, a scholar and virtuoso of the electric bass who redefined his instrument while also laying down grooves for both pop stars like Madonna and jazz greats like Chick Corea, died this month at 73.
Anthony Jackson, Master of the Electric Bass, Is Dead at 73
Besides his work with pop stars and jazz greats, he is credited with helping to invent the six-string contrabass guitar.

In my misspent youth I did technical scuba diving and we were trained that CO2 buildup from exertion could lead to anxiety attacks, which is a bad scene when you're inside a shipwreck with no direct path to surface, surrounded by silty surfaces and rapidly incurring deco obligation.
