Academic urban legends

Many of the messages presented in respectable scientific publications are, in fact, based on various forms of rumors. Some of these rumors appear so frequently, and in such complex, colorful, and entertaining ways that we can think of them as ...

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

There are more important things, but I can’t wait to see the end of every single department/agency of the federal government having a meme warfare account with the dumbest possible dogwater ass posts going out after being worked over in a groupchat of the worst millennials god permitted to exist

I've been writing about the war on drugs for more than 20 years. There are some cases that have stuck with me -- names that have never left my head. For the last couple years, I've been working with The Intercept on a podcast to tell their stories. It launches in a week.

Introducing Collateral Damage | Collateral Damage from The Intercept

The Intercept is launching a new podcast series reported and hosted by investigative journalist Radley Balko.

NOT EXACTLY A BASTION OF ANTI-CAPITALIST SENTIMENT

Al Pacino's Lowell Bergman in The Insider. His principles, and his willingness to air out his bosses when corporatism takes over are things I hope I'd be willing to do if the time came. As protagonists, journalists are underdogs and giant slayers, contemporary versions of classic characters.

"creatures" ended up as "features" but, 100%. There's no money in putting dying kids in androids to be superheroes! The company would never do this!

Ted Matherly @jemather.bsky.social · Aug 22

A platoon of space Marines can't stop them, but these plucky kids. I didn't like the characters, and Romulus's story felt like a retread layered with fanservice. At least A:E has some new features in it that seems like some fun possibilities

Ted Matherly @jemather.bsky.social · Aug 21

I am on ep2, and with you that its mediocre at best...but there was nothing better in Romulus.

Unlike Sam Altman, the people behind Gemini actually do understand what it means to have five Ph.D.'s in your pocket

Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:

‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’

Google says it's working on a fix for Gemini's self-loathing 'I am a failure' comments

Google Gemini users said the bot is sharing self-loathing messages while attempting to solve tasks, including "I am a disgrace to this universe."

Sometimes I don't use my wipers fast enough because I don't want to seem dramatic to the other drivers.
