Let's hope they're making them with substandard materials and deliberate, undetectable flaws that cause the manufactured goods to fail catastrophically on first use.

@w7voa What is it about NBC suddenly doing fearless, hard-hitting reporting? I mean is this just a blip or is something happening here?

@randahl

Has anyone made a Bored Ape NFT out of Trump dozing off in court yet?

@w7voa
I read his "public criticism" right up to the point of its first publicly verifiable claim, which was, surprise surprise, completely false. No point in wasting any more time on him after that.

@kaminenmosher
Still, impressive. I'm told that 17th C Finnish Manor is one of the hardest keys to compose in.

@kaminenmosher Ridiculous. It should use the "shave and a haircut" knock from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Not to assume you wanted to know what's trending over on that other place, but if you did, it's not only #SleepyDon, but also the hilarious #DonSnoreleone

@Carl_Zimmer The downside is they get green and huge and very, very angry.

@thomasfuchs

There's something telling about how we've entered this weird phase in which the next Great Leap Forward -- first cryptocurrency, now this -- absolutely requires squandering resources. As if being preposterously computationally intensive was the actual point, and now they're just trying to find ways to sell it to us.

@lukito See also, "all the more for me", and "good: I hate it when other people like what I like. Drives the price up."

Mostly just I wish people would realise that what they don't like isn't remotely as interesting as they think it is.

@AnnemarieBridy
I suspect also that people who get a warm cozy feeling from it would not be in any hurry to include, say, Puerto Rico in its meaning. Me, I associate it with the Bush/Cheney years. Gives me hives.

His last words were, "I found the real killer. It was.... aaaaaagh" [EKG starts going *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....*]

@rubenbolling I've always suspected that Billy is a figment of Quentin's imagination, a way of externalizing his desire to live a life of adventure that would be unavailable to a parrot..

@brianklaas Probably the best-written disquisition on this subject I've seen.

The anthropologist Pascal Boyer talks about this quite a bit, how the one constant in human belief systems -- far outstripping even that of a creator god, or an afterlife -- is the presence of intentional agents in the environment. As you say, we are disposed to believe that everything happens because someone intended it to. And if you don't see or know of anyone who could have done it, well then, the next thing you know you're believing in gods and angels and djinns and wood-sprites and demons...

@anneapplebaum Interesting that out of that list of signatories CNN chose to headline it with Streisand and Penn, the most famously "lefty" among them. They've decide to make *that* the story. Not what is said or even who is saying it; but that those two are saying it.

@w7voa Are we sure they weren't just crisis actors pretending to be convicted?

@davidallengreen I think we need more stories like this.
