Alan Turing, 75 years ago. One of the best testaments to the value of thought experiments.

Troy Jackson and AES clearly underperforming. And still progressives will insist on nominating far left candidates. These people (progressives / leftists) are suicidal.

From their three hearts to their doughnut-shaped brains, octopuses are fascinating creatures that are also biologically wired to die after they reproduce. We spoke with cephalopod expert Z. Yan Wang to learn more about octopus death spirals and to answer listener questions for Cephalopod Week!

An interesting perspective considering Amazon has laid off 30,000 corporate employees in the past year as part of an AI efficiency push instead of giving workers 3-day workweeks because AI can do some of their work.

"Against edgelordism in all its forms" is becoming a foundational principle for me. Civilization is impossible without an unflinching commitment to pro-social behavior and a willingness to marginalize any deviation.

Candidate quality matters. Genuine, moderate candidates win. Looks like we have stronger candidates in TX, IA, OH, AK, KS… but the leftist / progressives are struggling in ME and MI. It’s not a matter of opinion. That’s what the results are *telling* is so far.
