This isn't the worst opinion, but it stops short. George does not "despise" his life. He resents it. It has been forced upon him against his will at every turn.

Here's the thing: he does it anyway, and he does it well, because for all the resentment he still sees the good in it. This is why he stands up time and again against Potter.

Potter is, in a lot of ways, George's shadow. He is a man who does what he wants, which is to pursue his own selfish desires from which he is the sole beneficiary. George wanted this too but Providence protected him by closing doors (my own interpretation). Potter tempts George, who almost submits until at the last moment realizes that fundamentally is not who he is.

This is one of the many things that makes George a good man: his willingness to confront his shadow and to defeat it, and to serve others because he sees that it is fundamentally good to do so.

Santa, this is Rudolph. He is one of the most undervalued reindeer in the North Pole. His only defect is he has a red nose.

James Gunn reveals that 'LEGO BATMAN: The Videogame' and 'LEGO BATMAN 2: DC Super Heroes' are canon to the DCU and act as DCU Batman's canon origin.

"LEGO BATMAN 3 isn't canon. Can't lie that one was lowkey ass. Good levels, but that open world was mid."

I just watched Hank Green's latest video about investing money. He's not a financial advisor and is not giving you advice... but he is demonstrating what it looks like to think critically with your own mind... which I am a fan of. It's an interesting exploration of the relationship between giant mega-companies, AI, small business, and how to invest your money.

I was fully locked in..... squinty eyed, thinking DEEPLY with Hank about possible over-valuation of giant companies and the potential overestimation, (or underestimation) of AI in general. I was listening to Hank and reflecting deeply and trying to decide what points I agreed with and which ones I was unsure of. I was using my own brain and thinking about what would be smart investments in the future.

In the middle of my deepest thought moment the video paused and I got jolted out of human-ness by an ad for a company (TradingView) blaring at me about how I need to use AI to do the stock trading thinking for me. The talking head was telling me that I just had to sit back, let AI think for me... and make money. In that moment, I felt like Odysseus tied to the mast of the ship listening to the siren-song of an AI moneygrab. "Just quit thinking" the siren sings. "Let it think for you" the clanker-seller says.

Another interesting component to this is that the ad was placed right at the deepest moment of the video.. which you can see in the engagement graph. This is when people are thinking most critically. It's like the AI sirens are strategically placed... by AI to disrupt actual human thought.

Then the words of Dylan Thomas came back to me. A poem an old person read to me when I was young. Something I didn't understand then.... but now it seems to apply to all of humanity.
"Rage, rage against the dying of the light".
The poem is worth a read.

Honestly the only number that 3 really “owns” is 9. 6 is its own thing, 4 takes 12, 15 is clearly 5 territory, 18 & 24 are in the 6 family, 21 is embedded in 7’s lore, 27 only reminds me of 9 and 30 is obviously a 10 multiple.

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

Snoopy is the most famous dog in the world. And he's giving a live performance of his theme song. This is like the dog version of being at a Michael Jackson concert in 1987. "It's not that fire bro 😭😭". Uh...yes it is. Please respect that little guy's culture
