I agree with you

It’s a cowardly position to claim as Gould did, that science and religion are compatible. To do so requires having one mindset in the laboratory and a contradictory mindset outside it. I’m also a scientist and think JBS Haldane put it best when he said the quote to the effect that if he trusts the equipment in his…

He’s just saying what all rational people already know, but bloggers need to frame it in the “Brian Cox Says a Thing” trend that drives so many clicks.

I am an atheist and am excited to learn that, apparently, it now qualifies me as an “edgelord” as well. I also got whiplash from the way this article seemed to keep pivoting back and forth on whether the author thought it was the worst take, a legit take, a weird take, etc. 

I think the subtitles aspect of it was part of why I’ve no urge to rush back, this was an opera that is in English but some of the male vocals were hard to understand and so I kept on looking at the display above the stage, but that led to my head bobbing up and down and it being quite uncomfortable.

I also found that w…

I’m sure it’s some combination of not understanding the words that are being sung and not preferring the operatic voice.

They don’t just sound like it; they essentially are tech bros. They literally sit on the boards of multiple AI companies.

As a person with diagnosed ADHD, it’s a real pet peeve of mine that a complex neurological condition gets used as a cheap byword for kids not paying attention. For one thing, despite the name people with ADHD absolutely can sink a lot of time and focus into things - sometimes too much and to their detriment, if it’s…

When they talk about the future of cinema, they sound like tech bros discussing crypto.

I find it mind boggling that two guys who were instrumental in making some of the most successful films in history apparently think their younger audiences aren’t capable of paying attention to things narratively. It’s particularly galling because I went, and go, to all those Marvel movies on opening weekend, and…

Do they ever explain what their vision is? I didn’t read past the first two sentences.

I’m no nudist, but my first thought was “how are the people being naked going to make a communal space like a cruise ship any more gross than it already is?”

“but I don’t know that that meant I should be in charge”

“I couldn’t gain perspective. I couldn’t do anything to make myself understand that it wasn’t personal…”

Has she tried being a nice person?

AI is here to stay. Sure. But not in the way a lot of people (particularly people in the AI industry) think.

rooted in her firing from Star Wars series The Mandalorian

The main reason I never liked that show was just how mean he was to everyone. I couldn’t understand why his wife put up with it. I wanted her to walk out every time he spoke to her, and I wanted her to take those kids with her. He was just a nasty, horrible person.

I think a 2024 reboot would be Tim playing the neighbor over the fence you never see but instead of sage advice he would just rant about anti vaccine covid theories and democrat pedophile rings

Paste is charging eight fucking US bucks a month! Look, I like commenting here, but not for $96 per annum. Maybe - maybe - $8 a year, if they have the content to justify it, but that’s doubtful considering they’re buying 2024 AVC and not 2014 AVC.
