Social media has broken the distinction between private and public life in many people. People had already become too comfortable with publicly oversharing (e.g. the stick figure family), and social media has made it worse. In public, give as little detail about yourself as

"We're going to replace everyone and that's a good thing." This is pure evil, plain and simple. We don't want clankers doing any of this. So, would you kindly delete your account?

I have a theory that the real purpose behind online and OS-level age verification is to allow them to get a better handle on the difference between actual human content and AI-generated content, or at least what is made by bots.

You know...I'm getting tired of this. Yes, everything cited is worth preserving. At the very least, it is useful for understanding history and culture. However... Frankly, I think Homer would be shocked and disgusted that there is so much preference for foreign mythology among

I've noticed a lot of readers complaining about the price of books. First, yes, as a reader myself...I get it. A large portion of the books on my shelves were, in fact, bought used. Many others are hand-me-downs. Let's face it. Books aren't cheap. They haven't been for a while.

Though I doubt anyone in Japan will see this, I have a question for Japanese people on X. So I'm about 1.9 meters tall (that's 6' 3" in freedom units). How much would I actually stand out?

We don't have to keep pretending that riveted pan handles are okay, and we shouldn't. We have the technology for nice, smooth interior surfaces.

This is one of the dumbest takes I've ever heard. If you honestly believe that this will happen, then I've got some ocean front property in Montana to sell you.

OS level ID and age verification is the most monumentally stupid thing I've heard come out of congress in a long time. The idiots on Capital Hill have no clue how anything works. What an I going to do? Verify my ID to configure a managed switch? Stupidity standing in stilts with

"Deaths of despair and drug overdoses skyrocketed." Yeah...everybody likes to forget that part of an increase in the unemployment rate. Anyone who's ever found themselves unemployed for more than a couple weeks knows. It's not a vacation. It's not "me time." It's not a "career

So...we're updating the medieval filter to include the 1850s. Got it. You know we have paintings and museum pieces. We even have some early photographs! People didn't just walk around caked in dirt. And, why do I see so much denim? That fabric wasn't popularized until the 1870s.

You're standing in front of a mirror. You mean to say, "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice," but what comes out instead is, "Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse." What happens?

There are only two movies starring the xenomorph: Alien and Aliens. While there are rumors of sequels, they are pure conjecture. They are no more real than the mythology that grew around a sequel to Highlander. That is, no such film(s) exist.

Just a note folks, streaming services are pretty much always the worst. Yes, even the ones you like. Go dig into how creators actually get "paid" along with the audacious greed inherent to the model. As for me, I will continue to not spend money on Angel Studios, just like I

To everyone who pushed either the red OR blue button...either one, don't care, doesn't matter. Congratulations: you are the reason why the right to vote, or otherwise have a voice in government affairs, was a historical rarity. Why? Because all 300,000+ of you shuffled up to

Oh, look, a political candidate out preaching heresy and antichrist doctrine. Christ explicitly stated: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by me." Teaching otherwise is a dangerous heresy which leads people away from God and keeps them

Serious question: If kids can graduate without leaning to read complete books and recall at least something about them, then why do we have schools? Why do we continue funding them except as glorified daycare centers? When I was in school, we had to read complete books. We read
