It used to be I knew the time in Tokyo, London, Detroit at any given moment. Not anymore. “Paris is five hours ahead of New York. If it’s 10pm now here, that’s 15 o’clock there, which is 3am. Wait, is it six hours ahead?”

Creep

A genuinely scary film.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

The Magyar government understands if they let up then Fidesz and Orban will regroup like the Brasilian Far Right did and can come right back in. So they have to move with intense endless purpose to cut out the cancer of Orban. Because five years is not much time to reverse it all & clock’s ticking.

Imagine the reaction if the British government partially destroyed Stonehenge?

JUST POSTED: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have pushed a multibillion oil deal with Russia as part of peace talks that will bring profits to their family business partners. A new front for Trump-era conflicts of interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...

Creeeeep Show!

@jfoster.bsky.social and I had a much better Spirit Halloween experience at the one on 16th & Irving! We posed with a Freddy Fazbear animatronic and I bought a "mystical cat skull"!

Loved it.

Cdog was all, “Dad, what’s that smell?”

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

If I wasn’t insane going in, I’d be mad after one night.

A grimy, darkly funny crime story about loneliness, desperation, self-deception—and the kind of trouble that starts looking like opportunity. Today at the Garage: literarygarage.com/handyman

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

A WELL-FED WARRIOR IS A LETHAL WARRIOR.

The title usually comes to me immediately—not with this one.

The words “super intelligence” coming out of this guy.

“I am so devastated that Christians like Tim Tebow made me trust in something that has taken so much money from me. This is evil, especially because I’m disabled on a limited income.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

TOMORROW YOU WILL GRAB THE SUN WITH BOTH HANDS AND DEVOUR IT. FOR NOW CAN YOU TOUCH SOMETHING SOFT?

Fake. USDA. Seals. Used by an NC meat processing plant on 83.5 TONS of meat. Produced entirely outside the federal inspection system, according to news reports. We are pretty close to The Jungle (second ed.) now, no? www.scrippsnews.com/life/recalls...

Goddammit.

My favorite vampire film. Not sure I can pick number two, but this is the best.

The pie of the storm.
