LLMs and performative productivity
Jim Nielsen's Notes, Jim Nielsen's Notes, Jun 24, 2026 It's as though people believe there's a learning 'off switch' (though it only exists in other people). Like this: A junior who made a mistake is one step closer to being a senior; a junior who let an LLM make a mistake (and had the LLM fix it for them) has probably learned nothing. What would justify this conclusion, authored by John Collinsworth (Nielsen doesn't link to it, though he quotes it extensively - boo, hiss)? The junior will still learn, but will learn a different thing. Nobody 'learns nothing' - human brains don't shut off like light bulbs. What's really happening here is that we're mking a value judgement, specifically, that the lesson learned from doing it by hand is more important than the lesson learned by doing it with AI.

4 Reasons ‘Supergirl’ May Not Be Right for Every Family
The final moments of the 2025 blockbuster Superman included a surprise scene in which Supergirl – Superman’s cousin, Kara – crashed into his Arctic fortress intoxicated, cursing and searching for her super-powered dog, Krypto.That brief scene revealed two important details. First, Krypto actually belonged to Supergirl – and not Superman, despite the close bond they shared throughout the film. And, second, Kara was the complete opposite of Superman – irresponsible, immature, and far from the type of role model most parents would want their children to emulate.Of course, the cameo wasn't just for laughs. It served as a preview of the next chapter in DC Studios’ new cinematic universe, and that film – Supergirl (PG-13) – is now in theaters.Here are four reasons Supergirl may not be right for every family:Photo Credit: ©DC

‘Stranger Things’ Star Cornered on Whether Character Is Really Dead
Courtesy of NetflixMillie Bobby Brown is refusing to settle fan debate over Eleven’s fate following the finale of Stranger Things. During a live recording of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Brown revealed that series creators the Duffer Brothers instructed her not to reveal whether Eleven survived the show’s final battle. “They were like, ‘Do not tell anyone. Because we made it a secret kind of pledge,’” Brown said, adding that only she and the creators know the truth. “No one else knows. It’s just us three. And what we do with that information, it’ll be up to them,” she said. The actress said even her castmates disagree about what happened, with some believing Eleven died while others remain convinced she survived. Brown herself encouraged optimism, telling fans, “Believe! Let’s have some hope in here.” When pressed again about Eleven’s fate, Brown declined to provide a definitive answer. “All people say now is, ‘Do you believe?’” she said. “And of course I believe.”Read it at Variety MagazineRead more at The Daily Beast.

Kenya protest survivor lost his leg and his hope for change
Rodgers Mwabe Hezron, a 32-year-old taxi driver, lost his leg after being shot by security forces during Kenya's anti-government protests on 25 June 2024 — one of the deadliest days of the demonstrations. He had joined crowds carrying phones, flags and voices demanding change, but says the government responded with teargas and live ammunition. His leg was amputated in hospital. The reforms protesters called for have yet to materialise, and unrest continues.

A Proper Obituary For Lindsey Graham
They say you should never speak ill of the dead but I think you should always speak the truth of the dead. And the truth is Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC, writhing hotbed unbridled lust) was a terrible human being. If you want to be praised in death, you should live a praiseworthy life. Lindsey did not. He died following a “brief and sudden illness” which I will assume was alcohol poisoning. The last time I saw a video of Graham, he was staggering on a public street with a red solo cup being guided by a security detail and poured into the back of limo. Earlier this year TMZ had some sad pictures of Lindsey staggering alone around Disneyworld carrying some sort of toy wand. He had no friends to go with him. Lindsey Graham was a singular war hawk whose entire Senate career can be summed up with screen grab: Credit: Screenshot And the great Dave Zirin sums him up thusly:read more
