Author is one step away from the realization that Capitalism is the culprit, and technology is just the vector.

I never imagined how this would apply to images. Fascinating! I wonder what other art has a totally different tone to native RTL readers.

Best intuition I've heard for this is that "things" can't move faster than light, but not everything is a "thing".

Imagine doing shadow puppets on the wall with a flashlight. You move the bunny left, shadow moves left. The further away the wall is, the faster the apparent speed of the shadow bunny. You might think that, far enough away and with a strong enough light, your shadow bunny would be racing across the sky faster than the speed of light -- and the crazy thing is, you'd be correct! The shadow (absence of light) can move arbitrarily fast. But the light itself is moving at its normal constant speed from the flashlight out into space, perpendicular to the travel of the bunny, like a garden hose spraying water. The time it takes for the shadow to even begin to move is governed by the speed of light. No information can be communicated faster than light because the light travels at the speed of light to illuminate the places where the shadow isn't.

Bryan Fuller's TV opus, primarily Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies, although the first two seasons of Hannibal are really excellent writing and storytelling. All his work deals with death, but each has something slightly different to say about it.

Alcohol, R-rated movies, a driver's license... Plenty of things aren't suitable for children, so we don't give them to children. Children shouldn't be exposed to heterosexual erotica either. Do you want to ban that? Didn't think so. How about, you know, take some personal responsibility as a parent for what your child should or should not see?

There's a native restaurant near me that is kinda like the equivalent of Chipotle for American Indian cuisine, and it's fantastic. The owners are members of the Osage Nation and have had a few restaurants since the 90s. Really happy for them that they recently expanded to also have a food truck and catering business, as well as a little satellite location at a nearby ski mountain.

I can't do much to help undo the genocide and cultural erasure, but I damn well take everybody I know to that restaurant.

What part about our reaction, or Luigi's, is stupid? Is it maybe, just maybe, totally justifiable anger?

I live in a dry climate with water restrictions most of the warm months, so a traditional lawn is not a great option. Will probably end up going with pea gravel or breeze, I don't mind it barefoot.

Love the idea of the living wall!

MBA idiots and Economists consistently overestimate the abilities (and the underlying nature) of AI, because the output of AI is so much like how they speak: eloquent, confidently wrong, unconcerned with ground truth. They see themselves in AI, and they consistently overestimate themselves and their abilities.

The Expanse. I forgot how good the earlier seasons were, and looking forward to seeing the newer stuff for the first time.

I think they're proposing personal time zones, where every individual's clock shows their precise solar time, and nobody ever manages to be on time to work ever again.

Does that actually factor in? Or do you just prefer the company of dogs? Seems like a pretty irrational fear if you ask me.

You are right, of course. There are things we can't condone. But you realize that by saying it you sound exactly like the "all lives matter" response to BLM: technically correct, but oblivious to the context in which the original statement arises. When we say Palestinian lives matter, we aren't saying Israeli lives don't. We're saying that you have forgotten that Palestinian lives even matter at all.

I may be wrong and lack any historical knowledge on the subject, but I think author is sarcastically self-identifying as a tankie?

...and this chart stops at 2012

Understanding is a meeting in the middle. It's reasonable to correct the record on how you as an individual would like to be gendered. It's not reasonable to expect all of society to drop the use of a word that is colloquially accepted as gender neutral. At a certain point, your outrage is the antisocial behavior.

Actually she has a tremendous opportunity to sway a non-trivial number of trump voters against him and his bloc right now. I say let her play, couldn't possibly hurt the situation now.

There's room for all of us to be angry. I think it's reasonable to complain if you work 50 hours a week for that income, have to be away from your family, who also need to be housed and clothed and to eat and care for their health, and all you have is scraps left over and aren't saving much, if any.

He didn't just rival the coke heads. Practically ran for president.
