About 2/3 through Rules of Attraction and one thing from the book that the film gets at with miscommunications and such but doesn't fully embrace is that these people don't even live in the same reality - but I don't know how you film that without making it Roshomon.

One thing that's been itching in the back of my brain about the Rationalist crowd is that they have a real tendency to ignore old, known problems of empirical reasoning and induction by just throwing a dropcloth that says "Rev. Bayes" over them and pretending they don't exist.

A parody of a Classic FM news graphic. A young black indri lemur sits in a tree with its mouth wide open, as if singing. In a circular inset at the upper right, the mathematician J. Peter May, in sunglasses and a pale shirt, sits on a boat with the sea behind him; his head breaks out of the top of the circle. A red "News" label sits above the headline: "New research shows lemurs use operadic techniques when they study infinite loop spaces," with "operadic techniques" in red. At the bottom, the Classic FM logo has been changed to read "CLASSIC Ω^∞Σ^∞X₊" (Omega-infinity Sigma-infinity X-plus), typeset in TeX, with the Omega in red.

For a platform with a short character limit:

Parody Classic FM graphic: a singing indri lemur beside an inset of J. Peter May on a boat. The headline reads "New research shows lemurs use operadic techniques when they study infinite loop spaces"; the logo reads "CLASSIC Ω^∞Σ^∞X₊".

Why is it the <img> tag instead of the <image> tag? The answer, it turns out, dates back to one of the web's earliest browsers and one of the web's earliest discussions.

There is this weird obsession on Bluesky, in particular, to insist that Long COVID or COVID-related sequelae are the answer to everything, but as this Tufts study states: “Our primary analysis ends in 2019” It’s not COVID. These death rates have nothing to do with COVID. Jesus christ, people

This is a good reminder. It’s also quite difficult! Even the linked story uses phrases like “wrote a message to remind itself” and “deceitful behavior” that seem to imply awareness or intent. It’s just tricky to talk about. Like, mimicry in insects deceives, but does the individual intend deception?

This leads to one of my other favorite deep cut jokes from LotR: in the appendices, it's revealed that the Gondor dialect of Westron has formal and informal pronouns, but the dialect spoken by the Hobbits doesn't. This is a very funny detail to know while reading about Pippin's time in Gondor.

True. Used to be you had to really work to run up huge IP liabilities. Now? This 30-second video probably infringes at least two trademarks, between two and six copyrights, and - somewhat remarkably given that there are only three speaking roles - six people's NIL rights. Truly incredible progress.
