I'd always assumed this book was from the 60s or 70s. It's from 1992 and was a best seller for most of the decade! It's astonishing how recent this stuff was mainstream thought

I'm certainly willing to say the graph of AfD activity is either fake or showing something entirely different, because the time period covers the campaign for several major elections, including one they won, yet there's no visible spike in activity!

020

Come on, this is clearly not real data. The AfD came first in a major election on September 6, there should be a huge visible spike in activity on that day! The original "source" doesn't say where this data is from either

This is a pretty fun game. It's not a huge surprise that I like a) the "so-bad-it's-good" classics and b) sci-fi movies that make big swings, but I'd never really realised how much I hate beloved 90s family movies.

Popular Films that I've given ½ star:

Home Alone, A Goofy Movie, Pooh's Grand Adventure, Space Jam, Cars 2, Cars, Mind Body & Soul, X-Men Apocalypse

Unpopular films I've given 5 stars

Birdemic, Troll 2, The Room, Nightmare Sisters, Popatopolis, Cloud Atlas, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Attack the Block

You grow up watching sci-fi films that make "cybernetics" sound like this dark, cool, futuristic, ultra-high technology, and then you finally learn what it is and it's the science of making flowcharts.

Occasionally I guess AI can delight you. Like when you think "Hmm, I want to look up the new MST3k credits song" and instead Google gives you a Latin Choose Your Own Adventure about going on a date to the theatre

We're in the theatre! What would you like to do now?
• Watch the show? (The play is about to start!)
• Say hello to the actors? (They're working on the stage.)
• Find a seat? (Mind where you're going, it's a bit crowded!)

Three excellent Japanese monster movies, and also "Ireland's first ever martial arts film", featuring Mikey from Boyzone as the villain. It would probably be an amazing film for a drunk movie night with friends.

Gamera, The Guardian of the World: 3½ stars
Fatal Deviation: 2 stars and a heart
Mothra: 4½ stars
Wild Zero: 4½ stars

I agree - both she and Misato are just teasing and exploiting Shinji for their own ends, while Rei has no feelings - but to some extent I think that's part of the fantasy. In a more watered down form, there's a lot of "tsundere harasses depressed boy" shit that feels downstream of Shinji/Asuka

Is the combination of a stop sign and distance sign valid? It feels confusing to me - at first glance I'd think I need to stop there (I know in Germany there's a separate advance warning for stop signs, specifically to avoid people stopping in the wrong place)

Have you seen a mine lately? Mining is crazy automated these days This graph is Australia, and just look at how investment in mining soared even as the number of people employed as miners fell

Graph of mining employment as a share of total employment, showing a steep fall from 1859 to 1919, and a steady decline up to 2000 (with a small uptick around 2009), and mining investment as a percent of GDP, which starkly rises since about 1959

My grandma passed away last week, and I posted a tribute with a few photos of her on Facebook for family. Now the app keeps nagging me to make the photos of her "look 3D-animated". Come on, I used "RIP" in the post and everything. Your algorithm knows that was an obituary.

One of my favourite niche election facts is that the constituency of St Marylebone had two rival Conservative Associations who nominated different candidates that ran against each other. At different times, each was the "official" Conservative branch (and in 1932 the party didn't endorse either!)

I'll give the book this though, this is a great discourse bomb: "Gentrification is good actually, because the people it displaces then start new communities in other neighbourhoods, spreading their wealth and culture to less privileged places."
