"There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front man."

October 28, 2026 Blind Item #22 - The Show A certain former actor who played a high IQ genius on a long-running procedural has had a secret AO3 account for years. His bookmarks consistent of DDDNE whump fics of the character that he played on the show. The actor reads these whenever he gets sad. Throughout his almost two decades on the show, the actor used to talk the writers into never giving his character a break. However, some of his suggestions for his character, who was a surprising fan-favorite, were so depressing that the showrunner flat out refused. After the first few years of his ideas being rejected, the actor took to AO3 to at least put his ideas for his character out into the world, even if they weren't canon. To be clear, both the fanfics he wrote and had bookmarked were just heartbreaking for his character, but none of these had anything beyond what's generally socially acceptable in a script or in the fanfiction community. Recently, the actor was asked to return for a second cameo in the reboot of the show. One of his terms of his return was that one of the fanfics he's written for his character be written into the season's narrative arc for his character. As soon as he sent the email, though, the studio's filters flagged it as a threat due to the graphic violence described (even though it was just a plot idea for the character he plays, and not an actual threat). The HR staff member forced to review the email was reportedly "deeply disturbed" and "concerned about where he even gets these ideas." She asked him if everything was ok at home, and pulled in the FBI consultant to sit in on the meeting (he was similarly disturbed but agreed there was no active threat). The actor was forced to go to a mandatory HR training after this, and the HR staff member and consultant both informally suggested that he see a professional. His character is so popular amongst fans, though, that the studio has considered accepting the terms of his return.

There is Japan A and Japan B. Westerners associate Japan with Japan A, which includes minimalism, Zen Buddhism, appreciation of handicraft, manners etc. etc., but there is Japan B too, loud, chaotic, kitsch, cluttered, sexually explicit and also kind of "3rd-world".

🚨BREAKING NEWS : Your "deleted" photos aren't deleted. Claude Code found years of them sitting in a hidden cache on my iPhone. I plugged my iPhone into my MacBook to run a backup. I had Claude Code doing a security check at the same time. It flagged something I wasn't looking for. A directory called PhotoData/Thumbnails. Thousands of files. Photos, videos, screenshots. A lot of them were things I had deleted. Photos from a couple of years ago. Screenshots I took and deleted a few seconds later. Stuff I went into Recently Deleted and cleared. Some of it was still sitting there. What I found in that cache: - old screenshots of banking apps - photos I deleted right after taking them - random pictures I didn't want on my phone anymore - a few things I specifically remember deleting more than once When you delete a photo on iPhone, iOS removes it from your camera roll and Recently Deleted folder. But it keeps a compressed copy in a Spotlight search cache so your phone can still find things when you search. That cache doesn't get fully cleared. I checked which apps had Files and Folders access. There were more than I expected, including apps I downloaded a long time ago and forgot about. Any of them could potentially read files from that cache. I went through the list and removed access from most of them. The prompt I used is below. It doesn't take long if you already have a backup. How many apps on your phone have Files access right now?

Ethan Klein purchased a $20k button that cuts off visuals and audio and replaces the streams last 20 seconds with a personalized H3 Podcast loading screen. In 2024 during a segment, Ethan hit the button in order to berate his employee AB. Only the button malfunctioned.

日本人🇯🇵！！！ 我发现一个挺有意思的现象。 提到美国电影，我会想到《肖申克的救赎》；提到中国电影，我会想到《霸王别姬》；提到韩国电影，我会想到《寄生虫》；提到印度电影，我会想到《三傻大闹宝莱坞》。 但一提到日本，很多人首先想到的却是宫崎骏、新海诚，还有各种日本动漫。 日本明明有黑泽明、小津安二郎这样的优秀导演，也拍出很多优秀电影，但感觉日本动漫的光芒过于耀眼，以至于很多外国人反而不太了解日本的真人电影。 所以很想听听日本朋友的意见。 如果不算动画电影，让大家选一部电影来代表日本，你们会选哪一部？

loved YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING (2026) but... the film failed to conclusively demonstrate that any of the tech actually works. like... it kinda all hinges on whether or not Theranos is real

Is this shaping up to be one of the biggest prediction market whiffs of all time?

Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks. By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time. Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.

one of the better archive clips I haven't seen anyone talk about lmao
