Oh sorry, I’m not saying you should have known or anything! I’m younger than you, and don’t remember even hearing any Talking Heads as an 80s kid. Didnt discover them until college in the 90s.

To be fair, Burning Down the House is very different in a lot of ways from the rest of their music. There’s an alt universe out there where Byrne stormed the 80s dance floors.

I remember my advisor called it two decades ago and said they were going to win the Nobel for the technique. Optogenetics neatly side-stepped the problem of knock-out genes altering normal neural development.

The wrong-est answer is the one we have now, which is “both”.

I bought games so long ago they are doubly unplayable on my current mac; they’re 32-bit and Intel.

I love that Salad Fingers, a generally creepy and weird animation, looped the tiniest out-of-context sample of Boards of Canada, a very not-creepy-and-weird band.

Please stop anthropomorphizing computers. They cannot make daemons run in the background, because they have no immortal souls to summon them with.

I feel like the term “tough love” should have never escaped the addiction world. Tough love is having a difficult talk about gambling/drugs, not forcing your trans kid to see an anti-trans therapist.

Never used it, but always been tempted because of Valim. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, in a world where 3/3 other language creators I’ve gotten to know are low-key unpleasant.

The Lion, the Witcher, and the Wardrobe. Create an unnecessary sequel by adding an -er to a book’s title.

Sadly, this is the general history of American defense and academic research. Public funds go to basic research, and industry gets to exploit it and keep the profits when a commercial opportunity arises.

The Problem’s Actually Capitalism, example #83693. Like, I can see AI being used to make this specific situation worse, but it’s not the actual problem here. Whether it’s humans or agents fighting over whether a treatment is covered, the prob is insurance companies and the economic fight itself.

Oh wow, a reference to the 90’s IDM duo Autechre!!! Why they weren’t as big as Aphex Twin or Boards of Canada, I never knew. I’ve never heard guitar covers of their work before. This is wild.

Bhante Buddharakkhita was the first 1-on-1 teacher I ever talked to at my first retreat. He graciously answered my questions about suffering from disability, though not in the way I expected. I still think about it. He was warm and funny, and I hope he gets this chance to share his wisdom.

Just how popular was Wo-Hop for you growing up? There’s a Milk and Cheese about it iirc, which made it seem like it might have been important to kid you. Hope you feel better soon.

I am so sick of minor variations of Neon Genesis Evangelion pumped out every few years for the last three decades. Everything novel and ground-breaking has been absorbed by others and repeated ad nauseam. Please let the series just retire already.
