The Thing from Wilson's Ear
Everyone tried not to look at the thing that fell out of Wilson's ear. They looked at their laptops, or the presentation on the big screen, or the nervous young associate speaking in front of it. But then the thing that fell out of Wilson's ear

Sunday drive
Took the wee 1927 Chev out for a drive on a sunny Sunday and at last recorded its AHOOGA Horn! A free library coming next week for owners of HISSandaROAR VEH006 library! Drove right around Pauatahanui Inlet… The funniest thing…
UNFOLLOWED. There! Hahaha
Matt’s board repeats Sam’s board.
Matt repeats Sam.
Only difference so far that this occupant of the peanut gallery observes?
Matt seems a much more responsible sort of chap.
Oh - and Boards❓Really❓WTF!❗️Get your act together❗️
👁️ Earlier today, I was told that ‘A1’, pronounced ‘AONE’, is very dangerous. She’d read an article in Stuff warning that ‘A1’ posed a threat to the human race.
She was surprised I hadn’t read it. Her understanding was that I knew about this sort of thing.
Should I trust this person - or run?
And THIS is one of the ways generative AI will ruin humanity - not the models, but those who control it. cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb…
It's like we're living in a science fiction movie. Some of us are working with the aliens. At first the journalists only fear was driven by their natural narcissism, all that matters is they get paid for their writing. Now all they can see is the much larger threat to humanity. What if the aliens decide to destroy humanity, or turn earth into a bypass on a freeway. In the movie I'm a scientist, played by Jeff Goldblum or Brad Pitt and my love interest is played by Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence or Amy Adams and we're racing against time to really connect with the aliens who we are sure mean us well and offer the way past our myrid crises to get to the next stage of civilization. But wait, Bradley Whitford plays the evil politician trying to sell out the aliens to a food manufacturer who thinks they could make an excellent meat sauce for spaghetti.
Grammy Winners Turnstile Earn Spot as Five Guys Featured Artist
Five Guys, the burger restaurant, selected the 2026 Grammy-winning Baltimore hardcore group as its featured artist on September 4th.
Well they’ve finally arrived. For real though, Turnstile has been blowing up over the last few years. They’ve come a long way since that show they played at the ice skating rink in my home town circa 2013.
110 Members!
I missed it when we hit 100 members, but I noticed today that we’re at 110, which is fantastic!
We revalidate feeds every week, so I was concerned that after the initial hype, membership would drop.
Thank you all for your continued support. If you’re interested in getting some fancy stickers, shoot me an email at andrew@andrewshell.org with your mailing address, and I’ll send some your way.

Each day comes and each day he looks more like Jabba The Hutt.
📸 Well .. hello Wellington.

Fold I love this. ❤️ It's yet another one-person app coded with AI that solves the eternal todo list problem. Sounds utterly redundant, but when you're not building for a huge target market, you can make some insightful choices.
