For context, I just saw the Scientific Americans tech journalist share a short Sora video of Marilyn Monroe as a Targaryen, saying her ‘family breeds dragons and each other’

I’m sure it will all be fine.

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.

Aloysius Subtle was anything but. A veritable modern-day Theseus, his ship was a neglected excuse for a human form.

Separately, fun fact: You can actually ask a photographer "how does that one look?" before you end the photoshoot looking like a potato with hair on it wearing your dad's suit.

This was for no one.

It supposes that A) Musso and Frank's is named for Mussolini and that B) Hitler was nicknamed Dolphy. And that you know or care what Musso & Frank's is (the most dull "important Hollywood landmark" there is).

The regime's desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Not even close.

They rely on bluster and memes to make up the difference. The threat is real, but less powerful than they say.

Freedom-loving Americans outnumber them by a lot. Communities can resist. Like this one:

Collectors today call this "the coin that killed Caesar."

Why?

His portrait is surrounded by he words "Dictator for Life." the coin celebrates the moment Julius Caesar Haines absolute control of Rome. This enflamed those who had lost power and triggered a dangerous turn of events: Caesar was assassinated within months.
