Pizza chain Papa Johns is one of the partners integrating Google’s agentic shopping features into its ordering system. Customers will soon be able to order via a chatbot that can autofill in their last order, suggest items based on dietary restrictions, add coupons and deals, and use a “pizza assistant” to get recommendations for group orders. In a demo video shared by Papa Johns, the chatbot assistant asks for the number of people in the group. Don’t want to count how many people are eating? No problem — just upload a photo of everyone in the group into the Papa Johns chatbot.

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Taking the analogy further - Cars make people lazy & isolated. A person who uses a bicycle is usually more active & social. They still need cars/autos time to time but not all the time. Using cars all the time will not improve their lives. Same with computers as bicycle & AI as cars of the mind.

"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

We don’t talk enough about how American fascism is a blend of authoritarian capitalism, Christian Nationalism, millenarianism, a Freudian death cult, and adoration of the dumbest, cheapest shit you would find stuffed in the closet of a pack rat next to Jeff Gordon commemorative Pepsi cans.

I don't know why this lad is building a subterranean city for cats, but I'm all for it.

Hawks have often weaponized "Munich" every time the U.S. doesn't go to war. But they forget the real betrayal of Munich - two big countries meeting to carve up the borders of a smaller one to give to an aggressor without that nation present.

People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France. So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness. There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time. Good luck, and love as always K

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

“Putin would eat you for lunch.”

Today, exactly that happened.
