I follow a lot of RSS feeds which makes it easier for me to discover interesting web pages without visiting a lot of favorite blogs which haven't been updated. I hate to send these interesting links via email since it feels too much like a teacher giving homework... here, go read all of these web pages and report back to me. Instead collecting them in a blog post seems like a friendlier way to pass links along.
Nathan Fillion has been dropping hints lately which make are making fans suspect that some type of Firefly sequel might be in the works. If I had the power to bring back a single show, it would definitely be Firefly.

I find a lot of anti-AI sentiment among techies and artistic types in various places. I've lost the link, but I recently saw a CTO complaining that he got the axe because his company was replacing some executives with AI. There's a company I definitely wouldn't want to work for or to reply upon as a customer. I'm lucky because I'm very close to retirement with more than enough work to keep me busy until I pull the ripcord. I feel sorry for younger engineers who have to deal with the instability AI is causing.

NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) just managed to nudge a binary asteroid system. There may be hope if we manage to detect a killer asteroid early enough to launch a mission.

The news that younger males are clinging harder to outdated gender roles than older generations do depresses me. One can only hope that they alienate partners before managing to reproduce.

Videos of launching small cars via trebuchet are entertaining but I really wish they has stuck to launching Yugos or other worthless cars. A classic Austin Mini seems too valuable to waste this way.
