People get mad at Timothee Chalamet for being braggadocios but I think it’s fun. Art is about expression but a little healthy competition is good for everyone.

Everybody is talking shit about Timothée Chalamet's huge ego, but I 100% support it. I'm done with us demanding that celebrities be fake-humble or valuing relatability above being exceptional. He's really talented, he's working hard, and he should say it!

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.

This is fascinating, as an example of where an AI tool, used properly and carefully, can help people understand things. This is why I get annoyed at the people who insist that there are no positive uses of AI tools. Yes, many use it poorly. But used well, it can be very useful.

I'm sorry to my academic friends, but higher ed students are indeed customers. They are treated as a captive market by the institution, which is constantly seeking new ways for corporate "partners" to extract more wealth from students. You don't have to like this to empathize with their experience.
