This Pittsburgh contractor built her house with a 6,000-pound copper spiral slide — a safety exit — and an 800-pound glass floor craned through the window. She’s hosted 32 slide rides in a day. How cool is that? Would you live in a house with a slide and a glass floor?
My watchlist is stacked! Bridgerton S3, Victoria S1, and The Empress S1 — apparently I’m in my royal era. Drama, gorgeous costumes, and palace intrigue for weeks. No complaints here. 👑
Currently watching: Alien: Earth S1E7, Emergence 🍿
I have caught up all episodes of: Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 🍿 It is good. Now I can’t wait for the third season coming up soon.
Starlink is up last night! Promised 400 Mbps, delivering 361. Cable always promised 500, gave me 250-350. Starlink’s upload at 31 Mbps destroys cable’s 5-10. Genuinely impressed… just hoping it doesn’t drop as often as my neighbors say it does.
Norway sold just 7 gas-powered cars in January 2026. SEVEN. Meanwhile, 2,000+ EVs hit the road — that’s 95.9% of all new car sales last year. The fossil fuel era isn’t ending; it’s already ended. At least in Norway. ⚡🚗Amazing. Why isn’t the US doing the same? We can do better.
Read Nesbø’s The Snowman years ago but never finished. Now Netflix is turning The Devil’s Star book into Detective Hole w/ Tobias Santelmann as Harry. Time to finish both books before March 26 (but I doubt I will)! Nesbø also had The Snowman filmed in 2017. Hope it is good. Trailer: this Oslo noir!
AI tools are everywhere now - every app racing to add generative features. But there’s a backlash brewing: AI fatigue.
As Siddhant Khare puts it:
“People can smell AI slop from a mile away.”
And he’s right. We’re drowning in content from the same bland algorithm - polished but lifeless.
His piece nails why I keep my writing voice authentic. AI helps with writer’s block, but can’t capture weird brain connections or how you’d explain something over coffee.
The internet doesn’t need more generic content. It needs real voices.
Saw Mummy films & enjoyed all of them. Brendan and Rachel are coming back for another Mummy movie! May 2028. She wasn’t even in the 3rd one, so getting both of them back is amazing. After Brendan’s comeback w/ The Whale, this feels perfect. Two years feels like forever to wait though!
I love Spiderman! There is another Spiderman coming! Nicolas Cage is playing Spider-Man Noir in a new series dropping May 27th on Prime Video, and it looks incredible. 1930s noir detective vibe, and they’re releasing it in both black-and-white AND color. I’m definitely watching it in noir.
