Kimberly KG reflects on the latest from our president:

And yet, he’s still in office. Still not being held accountable. Who are we?

To keep our sanity, over the last year we’ve gone from outrage to mocking. Watch how late night TV makes fun of the ridiculous and dangerous things that Trump says. But surely with the Iran war this has turned a corner from the absurd and mostly bad just for our country to the potentially catastrophic.

He must be removed from office as soon as possible. See also this video predicting exactly that from James Carville. 🇺🇸

Really enjoyed my short time in Paris. I generally think that Europeans have gotten so many things right that we Americans are still struggling with. But… what is with all the smoking, still, in 2026? Someone should tell them it’s bad for you. 🚬

Solar Eclipse From the Far Side of the Moon

Kottke:

This shot from Artemis II of the Moon eclipsing the Sun is one of the most breathtaking astronomical photos I’ve ever seen. Holy shit.

Follow NASA on Flickr for more.

Update: In a follow-up post, Kottke has assembled a slew of great iPhone wallpapers from Artemis II photos, along with links to other collections, like Basic Apple Guy’s. Also, The Iconfactory has added a bunch of these images to their wonderful Wallaroo app (which is how I’ve switched to one on my own iPhone).

Update 2: Nils Streedain has made wallpapers for the Mac optimized for OLED displays (HEIC native format, pure #000 black background, etc.). Gorgeous.

Sam Altman, in a Video Released by OpenAI, Apparently Thinks AGI Is Going to Hit Society Like a Once-a-Century Pandemic

x.com/OpenAINewsroom/status/2041618671236469200?s=20

Not sure why they think this comparison is reassuring rather than terrifying.

I also have to say that Altman’s claims, today, that OpenAI employees were obsessed with COVID weeks ahead of the rest of the world feels more than a little like Donald Trump’s repeated false claim that he predicted, pre-9/11, that Osama bin Laden would attack the U.S.
