The space fetus in the opening credits of PBS Nova terrified me. I had to leave the room during the credits.

in the wake of MeToo there were newspaper op-eds every single week accusing the movement of “going too far” and based on the last few days we know definitively that this was all horseshit

I remember when grey goo scenarios were the sci-fi apocalypse du jour, and the "AI will kill us all" is just that but at a macro scale.

I remain a dork who likes to go to bigger cities and just ride their public transit for a while. The NYC Subway is one of my favorite places to go. I live close to the East Busway and have basically the best version of Pittsburgh's public transit and I still wish it were better.

Another friend's parent, a lifelong republican voter, and occasional Fox viewer, went on a tirade at them a few years ago about how they don't think it's fair that trans people should get their own new bathrooms, and should have to use the existing bathroom that matches their gender identity.

Joyce Carol Oates is a puppet (complimentary) (Because all jokes are better when you explain them, she’s a character in the play Recent Tragic Events and is supposed to be played by a puppet)

In the scheme of things this is meaningless but you should only do the raised arm salute if you’re in uniform. If you’re not, you should put your hand over your heart. It bugs me more than it should every time he does this.

If you want to understand the political landscape the first thing you have to recognize is that the “median voter” hasn’t mastered object permanence.

"make AI companies financially/criminally liable for what their models do" seems like an underrated way to get them to take safety seriously that doesn't require much regulatory oversight from a shrunken and corrupt US government.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Band Lucifer's Children, presumably visiting their father, bought a one way ticket to hell. But band The Darkness found that they could get a better deal if they bought a "one way ticket to Hell and back", which exploited the airline's pricing system to get a lower price on the trip

assembling a horse, in eight easy steps via @havehashad.com

How to Glue a Horse
Benjamin Niespodziany

1. First, open your package of Horse Parts from Glue Factory Unlimited™.
2. Next, using your Glue Factory Unlimited's Perfect Factory Glue™ and your provided ruler, begin to put together your horse. Follow steps A through G. We recommend you begin with the head instead of the tail.
3. Once your Horse is complete, please keep your Horse in a deep freezer or meat locker. Somewhere cold enough to die. Allow your Horse to die. Freeze to death. Turn to frost.
4. Take your Horse out of the freezer and into the heat. Warm your Horse. Return it to normal warmth.
5. Using your Glue Factory Unlimited's Perfect Factory Horse Tranquilizer Serum™ and your Glue Factory Unlimited's Perfect Factory Syringe™, inject directly into the neck of your Horse. Watch how wild your Horse leaps!
6. Let it begin its life this way. From pieces in a deep freezer to now. If you allow it, your Horse will see you as its God. It will do as it is told.
7. Name your Horse Joel or Skull or Tony or Tone but do not name your Horse Colt. Do not name it this name. Do not.
8. If your Horse refuses to leap or only merely crawls, we're sorry, we're so sorry. If your Horse does nothing at all, call us. Please. Give us a call. We're always awake.

no, it is the other way around. if you are looking at D+14 (or D+12 or +10 or even +8) generic ballot then there is basically no point in trying to tamper with anything. you are going to lose, the only ? is how bad it is going to be. it's when the election is *tight* that tampering makes sense.
