No one should take themselves so seriously.

Thank God we have the new "Rapist Bridge" in our backyard. Solving America's real problems.

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

It was a great day to unveil the Donald J. Trump Bridge with @SecScottBessent and members of the Trump family in Jefferson County. 🇺🇸

This bridge will ensure East Tennessee remains a crucial artery of our nation’s transportation system.

Weird Al Yankovic pulled out of a commercial on which he was making a "nice pile of money" after discovering it was for AI.

“I’m not going to mention any names, but they told me it was for a business. It was business software that would increase productivity. I said, ‘Oh well, yeah, sure, I could do that.’ And then a week before we’re supposed to shoot it, I find out this is AI. And I thought, ‘Oh no, I can’t be the poster boy for AI, forget it.’ So I felt bad about kind of pulling out at the last minute. But yeah, I’m not down with that.”

Why are we using AI to generate a fake image of Big Ben?

I am once again asking why on earth they programmed the band to be out of step. Would it not be easier to have them in step???? Copy and paste????

Mogged.

[James Anderson White @jamesawhiite]

It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered.

You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day.

This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm.

The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone.

A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time.

Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans.

We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all.

Fix the time zones and affix standard time.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Jessica Winter has been raising her children to detest A.I. Then her daughter’s public middle school began receiving Google Chromebooks, which came pre-installed with an all-ages version of Gemini, a suite of A.I. tools. “When my daughter, who is in sixth grade, begins writing an essay, she gets a prompt: ‘Help me write,’ ” Winter writes. “If she is starting work on a slide-show presentation, the prompt is ‘Help me visualize.’ She shoos away these interruptions, but they persist: ‘Help me edit.’ ‘Beautify this slide.’ ”

Proponents of generative A.I. in elementary and middle schools argue that such early exposure will foster digital-media literacy, and prepare them for a future in which most professions are steeped in A.I. But the technology also poses significant cognitive and social-emotional risks to young people.

Dear David Attenborough,

Congratulations on reaching your 100th lap around the sun, young man!

Thank you for sharing the wonders of our world with such care and curiosity.

Here’s to many more years, slow and steady wins the race!

With admiration,
Jonathan the Tortoise

We can't even do real architectural renderings anymore??? Look at the text in the first photo. LAZY.

[UT System President Randy Boyd @UT_President]

We are building the greatest decade with the infrastructure we need. Today’s approval of the National Security Prototype Center and Neyland Entertainment District, along with a land transfer that supports local health services and creates growth opportunities for UT Chattanooga, is another giant step forward. We also welcomed our new student trustee, Thaddeus Weiss of UTC, and faculty trustee, Dr. Jay Fowke of UTHSC. Their voices are essential to the UT Board of Trustees. Thank you to the Board for its leadership and support!

Somebody hold my beer, I’m about to wade in:

In the state of North Carolina, only one meat qualifies as BBQ. That meat is pork.

Whole hog reigns supreme in ENC.
Pork butt (aka shoulder) rules in Lexington.

ENC sauce is vinegar and pepper.
Lexington sauce is vinegar, tomato, brown sugar, and pepper.

All other meats and sauces are heathenry.

Stay in the light, my friend. ❤️

Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

It's a bird...It's a plane...It's the Artemis II crew on their way to the moon! #ArtemisII
