One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This By Omar El Akkad
I’ve been haunted by many turns of phrase from this outstanding book, but one that stood out to me and echoed in my head at least every week of 2026 is:
“Not a single unexpected thing happened.”
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a virtual halt, unleashing the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s. on.wsj.com/4rhSXCo
This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.
Tomorrow is gonna be off the chain, bless.
All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.
I wrote him once about Tippi Hedren and The Birds after an episode of Monstervision and he sent me a handwritten reply. A very good egg.
This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.
On the plus side, with all this evidence the war crimes trials should be short.
lol sure thing, Baby Strangelove.
She should be remembered as a vicious fascist who had no qualms about terrorizing, killing, and defaming people while running an agency that should not exist.
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case, the agents asked whether they could audio record the interview. advised she was not comfortable being recorded at that time. requested agents explain to her the goal and parameters of the fourth interview. She indicated she was aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run. She asked agents, "what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept. The agents also explained why they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse endured at the hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. previously mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. / was asked whether she felt

Page 2 of 2 comfortable detailing her contacts with TRUMP. again asked what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it.
DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

The possible price of loving someone is having to grieve them eventually and AI cannot stop that. It cannot soften the blow or fill a void and it is quite frankly disrespectful and weird to try

it’s not talked about enough that this kind of consolidation, paired with paramount’s promises to lower its debt, will lead to THOUSANDS of people losing their jobs. they are actively wiping out the creative class & what remains of middle class wealth in the process.
“Constitution destroyed in plane crash” feels like a VEEP joke that they scrapped for going too far.
I want Anthropic to survive long enough to be destroyed by paying out billions to the artists and writers it stole from.
I hate every last one of these fuckers, that is all.
zohran mamdani: honey, for the good of new york city i have to humor an senile fascist that has a homosexual attraction towards me. is this ok?
rama duwaji: zohran what the fuck are you talking about
My son is a high school English teacher. He texted this today:
“Today’s dystopian teaching moment.
Task: Interpret the following quote -
“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture, you just have to get people to stop reading them.”
My students could not interpret the quote.”
People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Once again, there's a growing supply of excellent journalists who need a new home and a growing demand for a news outlet that won't bend the knee to authoritarians and billionaires, seems like there's a slight opportunity here
Once again:
A) This would be handing two of Hollywood's only remaining studios to a right-wing Trump ally and his "Dad said I could have it!" son, who
B) has not begun to prove that he can successfully run one studio, let alone two.
An utter disaster, although in fairness, that is Zaslav's brand.
Help us, cholesterol. You're our only hope.
