Down vote all videos that use an AI voice.

And if you can’t hear the difference, stop and consider that.

It’s hard to go wrong with bread and cheese.

You can make a lot of mistakes in this world. But combining bread and cheese is not one of them.

So the big question: Will Apple finally listen to podcasters?
Or keep tightening its grip while calling it “open”?

There is a list of things that will allow you to get an instant read of what kind of person you are dealing with. Chemtrails is on that list.

“That is a pretty shocking memo,” he said. “It doesn’t get more tinfoil hat. They really believe toxins are being sprayed.”

Day Light Savings is the best. Stop your complaining. Every day tens of thousands of people fly across 4 or more timezones and don’t miss a beat. You are fine.

Oculus by Day and Night
In Brooklyn, NY is a light and sculpture referred to as 'art-chitecture' and titled Splendour. The subtle yet striking array of orbs is dynamic as light changes throughout the day. By evening, integrated lighting transforms the installation into a luminous structure that interacts with the ambient urban context. The work by Sydney-based design studio Atelier Sisu examines how light, color, and material can define spatial perception, emphasizing the changing relationship between the natural and built environments. Through its optical and structural composition, Splendour situates itself between sculpture and architecture, inviting viewers to engage with light as both material and experience.

Light of Sound

A perfect blend of light and sound. This light fixture is the form of an actual recorded sound wave. With different shapes of light to create a dynamic experience.

Obama Wraps Up WTF
The final WTF episode was recorded with President Barack Obama. And it is exactly the type of interview you're hoping to hear. The perfect period endpoint on what is a 16-year-long run of one of the greatest podcasters to do it. What surprised me about the interview is the sincere friendship between the two men. I won't spoil anything here other than to say it's a warm, and times funny, chat between two guys who spend a lot of time thinking deeply on the important things in life. And working to find the achievable pragmatic path in life.

Is here. The music video below is the debut of Timbaland's AI artist, Tata Taktumi. This "artist" is completely generated by AI. How much of the music was generated by AI is unknown. But it's Timbaland, so he definitely touched each note. Many people will criticize the use of an AI artist. And judge it entirely based on this one song.

One of the best modern movie franchises. The very rare occasion that a sequel is equal to the first movie.

Today's in Japan it's Mountain Day (山の日, Yama no Hi) so I thought I'd put together a small collection of my favourite prints featuring Mount Fuji, Japan's most iconic sacred mountain.
🎨'Yoshiwara' from the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' - Utagawa Hiroshige, 1855.
