This feels like the medieval version of show thoughts. I love the playfulness in writing a poem complaining about how the sun darkens skin but doesn't darken beards and how you should be able to sue for that

Gaiman seems self-regarding and oblivious enough to make the mistake of sitting for a Isaac Chotiner interview; you know, since he seems so interested in being in the news.

A caveman wears his best outfit (a tie) and sits across from the dean of Caveman University.
It is explained to him that his application to teach History has been declined because there simply isn’t enough of it yet.

I sort of feel sorry for Martin, who talked a huge game about fantasy and other people’s world-building, but who has embarked on what is visibly a project too ambitious for anyone to actually ever finish.
George R.R. Martin has said that if he never completes Game of Thrones sequel Winds of Winter (or the book after that), there's no plan for anyone else to step in. Instead, his Song of Ice and Fire series simply "won't be finished."

Started doing primer design in synthetic biology for my Masters and genuinely did not appreciate how difficult the constraints were until now. Its one of those things that sounds simple enough when you're listening about it in the lecture hall and then you actually do it

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

I am fundamentally opposed to podcasts being a part of awards shows as that flatters the delusion they have any merit other than being something you listen to while gaming to assuage the need to feel productive

Read the Book that Wouldn't Burn for book club and that shit was ass lol. Overexplaining characters and repeating itself, moving along at a grinding pace for like 70% of the book, right before it decides to throw everything at you, creating an effect not unlike being slammed in a car crash

Playing the Ottomans in EU5 and the core gameplay loop is really fun. There's alot of things to juggle and alot of them work slowly - values drift over time, stability and estate satisfaction and so on take time to tick towards equilibrium, so its hard to evaluate how well one thing works.

before you set out on a path of revenge, dig two graves: one for your enemy, and one for their child, so that you snuff out their entire bloodline. if they have more than 1 child, you’re gonna need to dig even more graves.

If you want new media you need to build it, and people need to subscribe.
If Ellison and Musk want to spend hundreds of billions on legacy media and social networking sites we will need to build alternatives and turn those into bad investments.

range depends on whether its a tactical sandwich or an assault sandwich
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
