If your child cannot stop looking at their phone during a movie, please take it away from them before it starts. It's not enough to silence it. The light distracts from other moviegoers.

I don't think you need to read The Odyssey (or The Iliad) before experiencing any adaptation, but I do think you should read The Odyssey (or The Iliad) just because they are stories that have managed to persist for thousands of years in language after language for a reason.

Fewer people are posting on social media, for understandable reasons. Most sites are algorithm-focused, pushing garbage into your feed instead of what you want to see.

The Death of the Status Update: Why 55% of Americans Stopped Posting on Social Media
If scrolling feels more exhausting than entertaining, you're not alone. I feel the same way, and a recent study backs up the sentiment: Social media is losing its fun factor.

You know what’s a greater threat to our country? Having a president so stupid he doesn’t understand the differences between socialism, communism, and fascism.

OpenAI is handing out free coffee mugs at the conference I'm at this week. I guess that's supposed to be the spare change cup for when you lose your job and need to beg on the street?
