Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

I just remembered that records from Trump's first term become subject to FOIA on Jan. 20, 2026 through the National Archives. It'll be really interesting to see if Trump tries to stop that.
Marco Rubio is currently the acting Archivist of the United States, a title he's held since February.

Then Marty asks him the name of the piece.

This is incredible news. Today, Virginia officials will unveil a statue of Barbara Johns at the Capitol to replace one of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that had stood for more than a century. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Statue of Black teen who fought segregation replaces Robert E. Lee at U.S. Capitol
Barbara Rose Johns was only 16 when she led a walkout in 1951 to protest horrendous conditions at her segregated high school for Black students in rural Farmville, Virginia.

The other problem is that someone born in 1974 is not a millennial by any stretch of the imagination.
One problem with this take is the number of high profile white millennial men in the media...

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Rob and Michele Reiner devoted their lives to art, justice, and decency. Trump’s deranged, callous response to their passing is a disgrace, but sadly on brand. We honor their legacy. He reveals his own.

A few months ago, someone came into the local writers’ club looking for help in editing his life story. That help turned out to be me.
As it turns out, he’s lived through some wild things, and I’m glad I got to help him turn it into something for other people to read.

When a man screams at you, destroys something of yours, or is physically violent with you, it’s not because he can’t control his emotions. He could if he wanted to. He does at work.

The idea that men who are violent with their female partners “can’t control their emotions” is weaponized incompetence in one of its more deadly forms, and it’s often men ostensibly on the side of the victim who weaponize it.

Rob Reiner was a beautiful human being.
When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Rather than just straight-up look for answers I don't know, I go to the source when I can. Reading Ebert's review yesterday had me thinking of Reiner well before I heard the news.
