I still think it's meaningful that we saw Liam in him. Every Liam deserves to have a chance to pursue his dreams.

An AI company that's all about fear of how AI could kill us is... a choice.

One of the few things I know about football (okay I'm slightly exaggerating) is that you can run back to your own endzone to score two points.

I'm no coach for the Patriots, but they might want to try just doing that a bunch of times and see what happens.

No it was himself at 5. It was a story about his life in PR, his parents marriage, Ricky Martin being an influence. Dreaming of a Grammy at a young age.

Look, can someone actually report out the Liam Ramos of it all? Like @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social probably knows whether or not that was actually him.

Maybe not. But the symbolism is there.
That very clearly wasn’t Liam, is everybody faceblind?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Fallout's disappointing finale does not diminish my affection for this whip-smart and savage barely-a-satire, but let me just say to all the shows out there (ahem, Shogun, House of the Dragon): Don't spend all season building to a big spectacular thing only to punt it into the next season
'Fallout' Season 2 Episode 8 Recap: Leaving Las Vegas
Fallout Season 2 was meaner, sharper, grosser, funnier, and better looking than its already strong initial outing.

You could either have wings and watch the game with friends and family or you can be alone, sweating, making sure your 10 Amazon kindle fires are all streaming the rightwing halftime show, not because you like the music, but because this is all you have
