I asked ChatGPT to speculate five names that might be on the list, along with the stock ramifications, asking it to explain the reasoning. Tr*mp came up last.

In which @hankgreen.bsky.social says, 'Mortal soul, I think I've heard that before. I'm gonna look it up.' And inadvertently becomes one of Jehovah's Witnesses. (Eze. 18:4, Ro. 6:23)

Also I recommend Genesis 1 for a quick answer about animals and souls.*

*Spoiler: Nothing has souls. We are souls
Genesis chapter 1, one of any places where the Bible indicates that creatures do not have souls but are souls.

Humorous image comparing a tornado watch to a tornado warning using cupcakes. On the left, labeled 'Cupcake Watch,' are separate ingredients like butter, flour, sugar, and eggs—everything needed to make a cupcake, but not yet combined. On the right, labeled 'Cupcake Warning,' is a fully baked and iced cupcake, symbolizing that the 'cupcake' is now real and present. The image is often shared online to help explain the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning in a lighthearted way. Shared in the context of an active tornado watch in Memphis, Tennessee.

I recently replaced my serving-size plastic Kroger "Tupperware" and my leftover giant ice cream buckets with Pyrex, and got a stainless steel pour over-style kettle. Any recommendations for non-plastic drinking water filtration pitchers?

The graph illustrates that low-cost interventions provide over 50% of the total benefit, while higher spending yields diminishing returns. Based on data from Dr. Peter Attia's video.

The only ICE on my phone

The only thing AI is good for:
Newspaper clipping-style image with the headline, "US Man Attempts to Deep-Fry Entire Thanksgiving Turkey in Kiddie Pool, Sparks Neighborhood Block Party." The story reads, "Boise, ID — A US man has taken the American love of deep-fried turkey to uncharted territory. Determined to feed his entire extended family and more, 34-year-old Brian “Big Fry” Daniels decided to deep-fry a 50-pound turkey in a kiddie pool filled with peanut oil in his backyard. Using a propane torch and several cases of beer as motivation, Daniels successfully heated the oil to a dangerously bubbling state. When asked about his method, Daniels explained, “The pool seemed like the most American option—bigger, better, and a potential fire hazard.” The oil, predictably, overflowed and sparked a small but manageable fire in the backyard. Rather than panic, the neighborhood rallied, turning the fiasco into an impromptu block party. Neighbors brought marshmallows to toast over the flames, while others showed up with sides and desserts to share. Though the turkey was charred beyond recognition, the camaraderie shone brightly. Daniels shrugged off criticism, stating, “Sure, the turkey’s toast, but this party’s a win for America.” Local authorities arrived on the scene but decided not to intervene, reportedly leaving with plates of sides and slices of pecan pie. Daniels is now crowdfunding for a second attempt next year, promising to “go bigger with a hot tub.” This wild tale brought to you by AI.

A three-week flu and sinus infection halted my end of year push to finish two more books, but I'm grateful to have read these, glad to be feeling better, excited to have finished one the two books this morning to kick off my 2025 books, and stoked about the year of reading ahead 🤩

I am torn between pushing this idea further, especially if it can be used to bring awareness to the suffering that drives that behavior in people we care about, or just posting a photo of Marvin.
Marvin, the depressed android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), stands in a dimly lit hall with his oversized spherical head and drooping posture conveying his perpetual gloom. The scene captures Marvin’s trademark blend of melancholy and sarcasm, underscoring his iconic personality as voiced by Alan Rickman.

I mean, to be fair, Google nowadays is pretty much useless
An image parodying Google search results, showcasing a humorous and absurd AI-generated summary. The mock search query reads, "Did you mean: what is Demi Moore's autobiography," but the AI "Overview" mistakenly describes Inside Out 2, a 2024 Pixar animated film, instead of Demi Moore's memoir Inside Out.
