Call me crazy, but perhaps being related to a Senator who died doesn’t qualify you to be a Senator.

The rightwing mocked the value of being an educated person, attacked colleges, undermined strong public education, pushed a million bogus conspiracies and religious fundamentalism, smeared liberalism and the value of reason and science vs superstition and snake oil. Why? For this very outcome.

Stole this from the comments because this shit shouldn't be behind a paywall.

people are dunking on this kid but hmm it's almost like fascism + surveillance + Covid + prohibitively expensive everything + fewer and fewer social venues / 3rd spaces has somehow made it more difficult for young people to party...

Oh I'm sorry. He's talking about the resurgence of vinyl in the digital age. In that case, vinyl and other physical media are resurging because people want to fully own their media and not be tied to apps, services, and servers, you fucking doofus.

The concept of spoilers exists because of other people. If your attitude is "well it isn't a spoiler because this is a reboot of a thing that's been told already" please consider that people younger than you exist and the thing you already saw is entirely new to them. It's not about what YOU know.

1) It's AI crap. 2) Why the fuck is the idea that someone wants to play a game and build something without being constantly griefed and set back a bad thing? News flash: most people don't PvP! Ever!

I'll have to keep an eye out for this documentary... so that I can submit a complaint to Ofcom about it when it airs. I might even submit a complaint to Channel 4 now, in preparation. www.channel4.com/4viewers/con... Also, whoever cooked up this programme can absolutely fuck off.

The White House Correspondents Dinner is going ahead as planned tonight. I thought I didn’t have any respect for the media left to lose, but here they are having a party with the most dangerous, treasonous president in American history. Have a good time, you weak useless clowns.

He's credited by Japan's cultural historians as having personally saved enormous amounts of folklore from being completely lost, too. Hundreds of yokai legends are only known now because he collected them from remote communities that are themseles often gone.

Carl Sagan testified before Congress twenty years before him. Another scientist wrote about this 100 years before that. The problem isn’t the science. The problem is that America is full of science deniers.

Jurassic Park is one of the most important films of our time as it speaks on the subject of the responsibility that must go hand in hand with technology. Even just the lines "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should" and...
