Sorry to be the one to share this with you.

Math, science, mystery--forget about the history--it all started with the Big Bang.

I'm that way myself. What it taught me--though it arguably took me too long to learn--was to be more careful in getting what I say more aligned with verifiable sources.

I consider myself fortunate that I was so busy with work that I missed Bessent's testimony entirely until just now.

TIL that Robert Oppenheimer was not a physicist!

I have no memory of this, but congratulations anyway! Admitting our mistakes is central to human progress, both collectively and individually. IMHO, of course.

Be afraid. Be very afraid. The call is coming from *inside the White House*!

So here's a science-fiction movie that, I'd guess, hardly anyone alive has ever seen. Based on a relatively famous, or at least much-anthologized, short story by "Lewis Padgett" (pseudonym for Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore, writing together). www.imdb.com/title/tt0046...

Sure, we may not like Milo Yiannopoulos’s performance, but at least they cast someone authentically Greek rather than Matt Damon in this role.

It's entertaining to consider the president's reaction to Dolly Parton's dominating the news cycle for three days.

Rowling, summed up: There's a vas deferens between men and women. Broadly speaking. (Thank you for coming to my TL;DR Talk.)

Surely Nigel counts for five or ten, all by himself.

You have put your finger on what seems to me, thanks to your having reminded me of the king’s health issue, to be the most likely (or most significant) reason for them to move back.

I'm as curious as anyone as to why Harry and Meghan want to move back to the UK. My current hypothesis is that living in the UK and dealing with one of the most famously emotionally difficult families in the world began to seem safer than just hanging around in the USA in 2026.

You miss the pre-processing. I debate stuff internally before it gets out of my mouth.

I very frequently research my public postings before I post them, even when posting on subjects I’m pretty sure I already know. My goal is to virally spread this sort of habit to some single-digit percentage of the total population. (I think we’re below 1 percent right now.)

One big insight of my adult life that mostly has redounded to my benefit has been that I'm willing to admit I'm wrong, as quickly and as frictionlessly as I can when I see that I've been wrong. This seems to have increased, not decreased, my credibility. (But I may be wrong about this.)

Charlie, I saw both the same weekend; I hope this helped.

I was watching Tom Hiddleston host a TV thing about Pompeii that had lots of re-enactments in it, but I had to turn it off. It was so offensive to me that they tried to tell this ancient story of Pompeii but didn’t cast *any* Pompeiians. It nearly caused me to erupt.

@fatsam.bsky.social Just following through (I already follow you here) by telling you've set notices on for when you post and reply. I have enjoyed my bsky experience so far.

I didn't foresee Project 2025 and the Trump Administration teaming up to weaken CDC surveilance of cyclosporiasis and then, without Congressional approval, to start a de facto war on salad.

What’s deal with Christopher Nolan casting Anne Hathaway and have the leading man go away for 20 years? I mean, wasn’t that INTERSTELLAR?

I was taken by a fellow Texan (now that I'm an ex-pat Texan) to see it as an example of something different from when I lived there.

I went to my first Buc-ee's just last summer in Texas, and, I have to admit, it definitely qualifies as an "extraordinary thing." I still don't quite have the words to describe it.

In my head Canon, all the other so-called "independent" agencies are bound by earthly executive authority, but the Federal Reserve was rocketed to Earth from Krypton.

Le plan 2025-26 prévoit des milliards pour les soins palliatifs. Dire que la loi « remplace » les soins par le droit de mourir est un discours trompeur qui essaie de rendre crédible une comparaison avec le fascisme tout en ignorant l'essence du choix individuel.

Je republie ce « skeet » pour m'assurer que @sandrousseau.bsky.social puisse le voir.

Mike Godwin @mnemonic.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Le fascisme est un régime qui donne la priorité aux droits de l'État plutôt qu'aux droits individuels. Comment le droit d’un *individu* en phase terminale de choisir de mourir peut-il être qualifié de génocidaire ? Je ne pense pas qu'une telle comparaison avec le nazisme puisse être justifiée.
