Ah just seen a friend share one if those AI cute baby animal videos for the first time. It's bad in many ways but the erosion of truth so nature is just cute and portrayed as we want it to be is going to be very damaging. People seem to prefer the cute quick content than real messy nature.

Fairly often I read about crimes that are funny enough that if I'm in the jury you are getting off.

Selling people rocks wrapped in tinfoil that people think are bitcoin. Things like that.

My little book on Schrödinger's famous classic 'What Is Life?' is out! Offering the most comprehensive analysis ever undertaken of the book's origins, reception, impact, and legacy, it uncovers Schrödinger's motivations in writing it, and shows how it has shaped our current understanding of the cell

Manannán by Máiréad Ní Ghráda 1940 Irish Language scifi book might be the first fiction piece with the use of a gravity assist. And the first Mecha robot outside of Japan.

But it's not in the Irish library service or buyable online

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

She called US soldiers "boneheads" and they loved her for it. She worked for Imperial Japan during WW2 but was more American than baseball-shaped apple pie. She's the ONLY American who overturned a treason conviction. This is the story of Iva Toguri d’Aquino:

Tokyo Rose: Imperial Japan’s All-American Radio Propagandist

A look into "Tokyo Rose," the Imperial Japan propaganda meant to lower the Allies’ morale during the war. Instead, it had the opposite effect.
