Cyber-Punk tends to put the ports for brain-cables on the side of the head, where it's basically a perpetual open wound on your skin that would be prone to infections and scarring IRL. What they should do is have the port replace one of your teeth, and then you connect the cable to it.

It would be funny if this was because she cheated on him with a City Council member, or another Mayor (I think Mendenhall has been a good mayor and should run again). www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

Serkis should have just said "I've cast the actors whom I thought were the most fitting in appearance and performance for the roles" and left it at that. Talking about "political correctness" is just asking for trouble: variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Andy Serkis Gets Asked Why New ‘Lord of the Rings’ Cast Is All White Actors: ‘I Don’t Think We’ll Be Doing a Politically Correct Casting-for-the Sake-of-Casting Version of the Film’Andy Serkis' 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum' has only announced white actors for its cast, following the lack of diversity in other flms.variety.com

The Lone Star Tick sounds like bad news. I'm glad it can't make it in dry climates (like most of the Mountain West).

If you ever get a chance to see "Jurassic Park" on a big movie theater-style screen, do it. It's still a phenomenal movie in that venue. I did "Jurassic Park" for one of those cheap private screenings that movie theaters were doing in Covid, and it was phenomenal.

Big bummer about Sam Neill. He put in a good performance in everything I saw him in, and given what we've heard I wonder if he had a compromised immune system after cancer treatment and caught something. I know people who were recovering from cancer treatment and died from Covid b/c of weak immunity

Salt Lake City has hit 107 degrees Fahrenheit repeatedly as the all-time high record without surpassing it over the years (including once in September). Today it finally broke that record and hit 109 degrees.

Lindsay Graham dropped dead. Not sure if it makes any functional difference, since his replacement will be chosen by South Carolina's governor (a bog standard Republican) and almost certainly will win the election in November (SC, unlike NC, is not a contestable state yet in Senate elections).

I didn't realize the degree to which the US has direct control over Venezuela's finances. They're pocketing their oil exports and then giving allowances to the Venezuelan government, and vetting appointments, etc. Folks in Trump's orbit are calling Rubio the "Viceroy" over Venezuela, and it's true

Genuine question from someone who knows very little about association football/soccer: Is soccer one of those sports where to have a dominant team at the world level, you basically need a "start at 8 years old and then develop them all the way into adulthood" situation like Formula 1 racers?

Musk's biggest success is that he created an entire ecosystem of hype, boosters, and cultists who all see promoting him aggressively as a way to promote themselves, and got big enough that the volatility in his share prices drew in the gamblers as well (including many small time investor gamblers).

The trick to cooking chicken breasts is to cut them up, tenderize them with baking soda in the fridge for 30 minutes (rinse off after w/ water), and then marinade again for 20-30 minutes with sauce/seasonings before stir frying them with a little bit of oil. Very tender chicken, pretty healthy.
