I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but many politicians. I think a large fraction are genuinely trying their best to make a difference (according to their values) and get constantly hit from all sides with any flaws/mistakes being amplified beyond reason.

There are also ones who should be locked up. But in general, this is a job I’d never want to have or put up with.

We’ve watched Severance, Mythic Quest, and a few others. But not that. Good to know, thanks!

Still playing my first run through of Elden Ring, almost 250 hours in Have explored almost every corner, just finishing up now. Am having a blast!

Yes this is the correct response. The standard model is the standard model because it’s stood the test of decades of challenges. One paper does not topple this.

EDIT: also note, the early galaxy formation challenges are interesting but don’t require a revision of the cosmological model. The data is new and many of these results will be revised into the “less spectacular” bin (this is already happening).

Cheers! Too many good books to read!!

I’m a big fan of Murderbot! Short and fun reads.

I’m a big Douglas Adams fan. Enjoy!!

I’ve never read any Banks. How would you compare him to Alastair Reynolds? I’m a HUGE Reynolds fan, especially stuff like House of Suns and Pushing Ice.

I’m looking for some new epic space opera to read :)

Not only that, but there’s a lot of duplication of topics across different magazines. If you could “multibin” them into a meta magazine, that would be really helpful.

This was my first thought. The TV adaptation at least. I’ve watch the first few episodes a few times and never feel the draw to keep going. Just kind of forget I started.

Probably

You’ve got a whole world in front of you. Enjoy!

Agreed. And the series is somewhat a different angle of the same story (as described by Howey, who’s been heavily involved in the translation to screen). Highly recommended!

Yeah this is where I’m at. Not part of my casual reading. Just part of my internet search if I’m after something specific. Basically just a database now.

TBH that’s Facebook for me as well. Just go there occasionally for very specific reasons. But not to spend time. Which is a shame, as I have a lot of good friends there. But Meta had to go and fuck that place up as well.
