The purpose of awards is not to reward excellence. The purpose is to consolidate power & uphold the status quo. I say this as an Emmy winner, Grammy nominee, and person who's name and work was highlighted in PR to fuel an Oscar campaign I was not nominated for (Best Sound on The Abyss).

This administration is so incompetent they're incapable of "legally" killing someone on death row but perfectly capable of executing innocent civilians in the street. Also, abolish the death penalty.

It doesn’t just “seem to win many awards”, it HAS. But more importantly, it’s a fantastic read.

I would love to see some of the cable news presenters call out the credulous dupes at axios who did this, but it would make their friends sad and also shine light on their own credulous tendencies.

Man, I just watched Terminator and it’s really fucking good and also realized about ten minutes into it that that fucking pud yudkowski thinks he is Kyle Reece. Like the whole paperclip bit is lifted from the scene where Reece explains to Sarah how the machines activated.

And to be honest, though the systems are so complex you can never prove causation, the fact that our descent into the dumbest politics follows on four decades of systematic, institutional disinvestment from the liberal arts seems almost too on the nose and yet here we are.

I’ve seen several stories of young women describing rape and sexual assault on college campuses in the last week which strikes me not as a rise in assaults but, given the violence of some of the examples, I fear we’re back in an era of headlines about group assaults, for the Tate/Clavicular era

A guy whose fame was based on performing bawdy ditties with a ukulele got booted out of South Africa in 1946, in part for hugging a black woman at one of the free gigs he insisted on doing for black audiences, and his wife telling the govt to shove it up their arse. Can we be serious here.

ooh, I like this take - all the elements are present, so call it what it is: not liminal (which was never quite right, tbh), but gothic for a new generation of people who don’t remember why we built that shit in the first place, or what it was supposed to be *for*

abandoned malls and cubical farms are 21st century decrepit mansions and musty crypts, reminders that once upon a time, these things and the people who built them had fortunes, now spent; they signal the fragmenting of order, a new world replacing the old, and the fragility of power structures

Happy Little Crater on Mercury - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/druNSE

It looks like even the craters on Mercury have heard of Bob Ross! The central peaks of this complex crater have formed in such a way that it resembles a smiling face. This image is oriented so north is toward the bottom.

This image was acquired as a high-resolution targeted observation. Targeted observations are images of a small area on Mercury's surface at resolutions much higher than the 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week.

The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. Visit the Why Mercury? section of this website to learn more about the key science questions that the MESSENGER mission is addressing. During the one-year primary mission, MESSENGER acquired 88,746 images and extensive other data sets. MESSENGER is now in a yearlong extended mission, during which plans call for the acquisition of more than 80,000 additional images to support MESSENGER's science goals.
