“we call this flavor ‘the shoggoth.’ it opens the mind to non-euclidian geometry. it drove three of our top technicians to madness.”
The money pit restaurant I would open as a billionaire would be the opposite of farm to table. What are the most unnatural flavors possible? Hiring top food scientists, giving a blank check and telling them to really explore the dark corners of the flavor latent space. I want to taste eternity.

The 1961 Jaguar E Type, versus the 2026 whatever they call it, and a Celestiq thrown in just as a vision of beauty and what could have been.

I feel the need to fact-check the Beeb when they say:

"The car itself is an imposing four-door "Grand Tourer", with a long bonnet that deliberately harks back to Jaguar's emblematic 1960s E-Type."

The e-Type is all organic. The new design looks like a pile of shit.

A ship sunk 80 miles off Bulgaria, carrying wheat. And a cargo ship bound for Romania.

This is like WWII wolfpacks if the USA was like "actually the wolves have a right to eat and probably the Allied powers provoked them"
Drones sink ships near NATO countries in “unacceptable” attacks, EU says
Two cargo ships have sunk, one ship was afire, and sailors are dead or missing.

The view from the dachas is particularly stunning this time of year.
🔥 Sochi. Claimed as Aframax Rio tanker was carrying crude oil from Novorossiysk to India and was almost fully loaded.

Watching professionals try to carry dead weight like this reminds me of being a firefighter, god, my back hurts sympathetically
Never forget that David Ellison's Skydance Media was originally created so he could be an actor.

Skydance's first film was 'Flyboys' starring James Franco and... David Ellison. David and his daddy invested $60m to make Flyboys.

It grossed $17m

Here's a bit of David's acting:

the whole reason I got into urbanism was being a teen who had to make do with the non-car infrastructure of a small town
The mobility of children is simply not taken seriously or viewed as important. Something illustrative is how people will often say that kids "don't count" when you remind them that children and young teens are nondrivers who deserve the right to get around without cars.

Somehow, this old article covering a headline of mine sends more traffic to my website than the ENTIRETY of Google Search over the last 90 days.

It must be super cool to not be blacklisted by Google's AI 😂 Maybe profitable, even!

With AI going the way it is, I might get into motorcycle riding again.

At least I can die doing what I love, which is pointing at the horizon from my *totally sick* Ducati and saying "Is that a mushroom cloud? God dammit, I called it, you skynet ass motherf--"

Butter is not a buck.

Like, just basic reality check, not even Kroger-brand 2-stick packs are a buck, and they haven't been in ages.
When they lied about policy or statistics repeatedly or tried to shift blame elsewhere they fooled a lot of gullible people. But when they started lying about things that even the cult knows more about than these out of touch weirdos, that’s when they lost the plot.

The image and video generation space for AI is so aggressively, dopily irresponsible.

It doesn't need to suck this bad.
