Hal already knew about the manhunter when the series started. His ep 1 halogram was warning him about Antaan. He and Zoe made a pact back in 2006. Hence the date of the last backup.

I too sought this song out. It was... four months ago? I often check out number ones I've not heard of. Didn't hate it, thought the lyrical conceit was cute. Promptly completely forgot about it till -waves hands - all this. Never heard it again. No algorithm ever recommended it before or after.

Calling it now Macklemore needs some sort of "buy a ticket and give it to a fan for free" purchase option or a bajillion people are gonna buy tickets to show support but not show up to the concerts.

Researchers are not magicians or oracles especially with fast-changing and new topics for which they have limited data. That's the point of science. It evolves. Hardening opinions around emerging research is unwise.
000
Rick @rickwebb.net · 16/09/2026
Having seen the shit behind the curtain, I'm deeply dubious of any study that claims it's harmless. But that's not from data that can or will ever be shared with researchers.

Rick @rickwebb.net · 16/09/2026
The thing about this is the science is incompletr. The big platforms don't share much of the revelant data, and it is highly unlikely we can arrive at a definitive answer without data from at least one big platform.

Worth noting, as Macklemore was banned by NFL owners in what will be dubbed "fighting antisemitism", that Kanye, who - sold merch with swastikas - said on Alex Jones that he idolizes Hitler - tweeted he was "going Defcon 3 on Jewish people" is currently on a multi-city tour of NFL stadiums

It doesn't matter if they serve it up to anyone. It's sitting on their hard drives the same way it's sitting on some pedo's drive at home. Possession is illegal.

How bout this: you go to the post office. They look at, but do not record, your ID. They give you a login, you make a password and passcode or some shit. And you can now use this to prove age on any website.

Don Davis (NC) called me fundraising once. I told him atm my primary concern was Gaza. "Israel is killing them," he said. "It's horrible and I will work against it," he said. Ok buddy. Glad I didn't donate.
