The culmination of the American Dream: being rich enough to not give a shit about the common man. After all, they should’ve just pulled themselves up by their boot straps (or toe hair, if they can’t afford boots), just like you did.

Prediction: Chastain plays Emma Frost, the White Queen.

Intelligent designers should cite to this photo as proof that natural selection is a lie.

What I like most about your story is the contrast in thinking: quick thinking saved your life (clutch save, man), whereas methodical thinking rewarded you with a cathartic punch (gotta wait for the perfect opening).

Well said, though we could also say the dumbing down of reporting and distrust of scientists, in general, reflects a defect in our education system.  Greater awareness and understanding of the scientific method would prevent widespread disbelief in junk science (see, e.g., anti-vaxers) or belief in conspiracy theories…

First and foremost, thank you for the work you’re doing! Advancement in targeted treatments inspire a lot of hope for cures in so many diseases. On a personal level, a close family member recently underwent immunotherapy and is now on a medication that targets a certain marker on her cancer cells.

So the genetic defects and plaque buildup in the mice used in this study is only similar to Alzheimer’s? And these articles are misleading? How are the markers different? (Disclaimer: reading this it sounds like I’m being snippy, but I assure you I am not. I’m genuinely asking for clarification as I don’t want to give…

Pretty insane...genomically humans are so close to other mammals, yet those few percent differences carry a lot of weight.  Alzheimers has been reversed in mice, but no telling whether the same will hold with humans.  So much we have yet to understand.

Hal..sey?

Attorneys can be sued for defamation in the course of representing a client if they make statements that go beyond the needs and bounds of the representation of their client.  Cases I’ve seen that deal with this usually involve attorneys who make ad hominem attacks against opposing counsel or parties (i.e., hurl…

Yeah, but then some Zumundan prince will come along and give them a handout, they’ll be back at it again....vicious cycle man, I blame Zoidberg.

Also hilarious that the couple cited the fact he blew through 5 grand at a casino as grounds for keeping the money from him.  Dude was homeless, came into money, and is entitled to spend it however the fuuuuuuuck he wants.  Sick joke that they (allegedly) used the money to go to VEGAS and that one or both of them have…

Surprise twist:  The Predator IS Liam Neeson

Absolutely agree! Adding to that, it’s not just that his efforts are in vain, but his entire outlook is null. Horza takes the view the Culture are willingly enslaving themselves to AI, whereas he believes he’s part of a larger cultural purpose. He considers himself a member of the theocratic hegemony, and there’s even…

I agree. HAL, and discussion on AI since Turing beg the questions: at what point does emulation of thought and emotion become indistinguishable from the real thing, and is that mimicry or genuine emotions? It seems like Clarke takes the view we are largely slave to our own programming at a biological level, AI is…
