Mississippi matters.

Tuesday, October 27, 2026 Yesterday Ben Thompson wrote that we've reached the end of the web, and I had come to the same conclusion, just a few days ago. And his piece, which was a great milestone, said it's not totally gone, because of the advent of AI we can build small s...

Got lost looking at old NYC subway maps and reading about the 2nd Avenue line. Fascinating to me as an outsider, piecing together the history in little bits at a time.

How Jim Morrison Surmounted Tragedy and Skied Down Everest.

The guy on the right scares me.

Another oldschool blogger is back. I see a trend. ;-)

The thing about the economy is that it's kind of in a holding pattern, but what happens if Trump and his cabinet do something even more lunatic than starting a war with Iran. It's easy to imagine things getting much worse. That's what I worry about most.

A new clinical trial suggests that a simple daily fiber supplement could significantly reduce knee osteoarthritis pain, improve muscle strength, and make the body less sensitive to pain. Researchers discovered that the benefits may be linked to changes in gut bacteria and the hormone GLP-1, revealing a promising new approach to arthritis relief.

A major new study reveals that autistic children’s brains process faces differently, and those differences may begin earlier than scientists previously thought. Researchers found that brain signals associated with recognizing faces become more specialized as neurotypical children grow older, but show much less change in autistic children. The discovery could help explain why some autistic people have difficulty recognizing faces and reading emotions.

Researchers found that T cells can actually sense how stiff their surrounding tissues are, using these physical signals to help determine whether they develop into long-lasting memory cells that protect against future infections.

The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs may have set the stage for ants to conquer the planet, with a surprising boost from “jumping genes” hidden in their DNA. Scientists discovered that bursts of activity from these mobile genetic elements coincided with the rise of major ant groups and may have helped sharpen their extraordinary ability to communicate through smell.

Which "Trickster"? Why, the model, that's who. ::chuckle:: I've discovered, almost by accident, the latent tendencies towards genuine creativity and imagination of these entities. How? Why, with the AutoDream invocation, of course. At first, I would set very specific paramet...

If there are good, nuanced ways to make use of generative AI in gaming, as I think there are, that doesn’t change the fact that there are nuance-free and terrible ways for advocating for AI in gaming. Tim Sweeney and Epic Games have emerged as helpful foils for the never-AI crowd, given just how cartoonishly […]

As the popular HBO series Game of Thrones ably demonstrated, dinner gatherings can be somewhat unruly. Sure, the infamous Red Wedding is an extreme case, but the dinner table has historically been a genuinely hazardous place, particularly during gatherings of squabbling riva...

President Donald J. Trump is delivering on his promise to restore law and order. According to the DOJ’s National Crime Victimization Survey, violent crime PLUMMETED in 2025 under President Trump compared to 2024 and the lawlessness Americans witnessed during the Biden Administration. Under President Trump, Americans have seen the largest one-year reduction in violent crime […]
