Real life katamari

Idk if it’s rare, but my wife thinks it’s weird that I can smell on the breeze if we are near a winery. It’s kind of an astringent smell

I think it would make a great biopic showing his tragic story, but also his impact and legacy

Yeah I found that odd

Interesting! As a malacologist and biogeochemist, I edit some Wiki articles in my research field, but because of Wikipedia’s rules on avoiding original research and preferring secondary sources, I don’t think I would ever “pull rank” and argue from authority there, because I don’t have an inherent knowledge advantage.

For that purpose it seems fine! The issue is that companies and the government make actually important decisions based on this stuff

Well, we see it on the right as well, with their obsession of rooting out “RINOs” It can be easier to focus on policing the in-group

It is awkward for a prof to be in world news for romantically chasing after a mentee, asking for advice from someone he knew was a convicted sex predator. Then he is expected to lead a lecture. Maybe you’ve never led a college lecture, but I can assure you from experience that would be a very difficult situation. Maintaining an environment of respect between professor and students is already difficult in normal circumstances

Ah yeah, Lawrence Krauss, very few are surprised about that one

I actually have liked their new side tabs and tab groups, to the extent that I stopped using Sidebery. I also was relieved when they finally added tabs for Firefox on Android tablets. Both of these came far too late though…

Ctrl-$

Maybe these shortcuts will come to the Android app too! !remindme 20 years

I set up a similar userscript that replaces all mentions of Elon Musk with “Spaceboy McFuckface”

all the better to tuck into a hair follicle

So funny, so real, and still far too unique. We need more movies like this

Beat me to it

Reality tends to make them upset. Information and knowledge are their enemies

The LLMs are often paraphrasing Wikipedia in my experience, to the extent the Wiki Foundation is begging AI companies to top scraping and use the API to help bear some of the costs, because the machines are starting to represent a big hosting strain on them. Wikipedia is also rather unusual among top websites in still hosting stuff themselves on servers they own, rather than contract out to AWS or another middle man.

Oddly enough there’s a lot of overlap between Ostalgie and supporting AfD. It doesn’t make a lot of sense
