When an SEC sorority that fought to remain whites only in the 90s looks like a benneton ad in the 20s... that's America, to me.

This guy was on the roof, except he looked like Paul Walter Hauser and he was throwing empty whippits at the neighbors walking their whippets.

Watching F is for Fake, and it is WILD how Orson Welles anticipated the form of the YouTube video essay, early by 50 years.

How to with John Wilson, in which John meets a personal trainer of one of the 9/11 hijackers, shortly after the trainer says: "Made me feel good that I’d trained somebody for something committed that they were able to pull off. We may not agree with them, but they were committed. That’s what I liked about it."

"But what do you think they're doing AFTER vibe-coding, Kate Monster??"
it's the porn-obsessed Trekkie Monster from Avenue Q (it's a puppet with puppeteers) (imagine if Gritty weren't allowed within 500ft of schools)

"Cicadas have 13 and 17-year cycles. Primes!" is my new favorite argument for Platonism.
Excerpt from Alan Baker's paper "Are There Genuine Mathematical Explanations of Physical Phenomena?" cicadas is considered 'remarkable' and 'mysterious' by biologists them- selves, as is evidenced by the quotes cited earlier in the paper. A third condition for genuine explanation is that the phenomenon must have been identified independently of the putative explanation (otherwise it is more like a prediction). This is true in the cicada case. Cicadas with 13- and 17-year cycles were known prior to any explanation involving primeness, indeed they were discovered over 300 years ago, well before the development of number theory as a freestanding branch of mathe- matics. There seems to be little doubt, therefore, that the cicada example is a case of genuine explanation, and that it involves reference to mathe- matical objects. But is it a genuine mathematical explanation? Melia, in his discussion of Colyvan's example involving Minkowski space-time, raises the following objection.

Hell yeah, Neal Stephenson. This is the ideal author dust jacket photo.

Brainstorming couples Halloween costumes and this photo won't leave my head. This brainstorm is ruined.
John and Yoko, asses to camera. John's butt has an unusually long crack, while Yoko's is notably short. Some will say this is not accurate to life, but who can say, really?
