Side effects may include the abyss gazing also into you. Ask your doctor if thereby becoming a monster is right for you.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver this week is a complete takedown of Bari Weiss... and it's thorough and devastating.

And a bit of interesting timing, given that Weiss's new boss, David Ellison (who is talked about in the episode) is trying to buy HBO, where Oliver's show is...

I feel like on one level, people who know they're wrong about everything and their ideas are basically evil, fundamentally understand the need to be charismatic and convincing because they're starting the argument from -100 and have to make up a lot of ground.

And then there's Stephen Miller. =/

A neat corollary to the 'you can't own a gun if you beat a woman' thing being derailed because you'd have to fire half the cops.

Tommy Flowers, the person who actually made a computer for Bletchley Park, had already done a simple one for the post office

Move over, Alan Turing: meet the working-class hero of Bletchley Park you didn’t see in the movies

The Oxbridge-educated boffin is feted as the codebreaking genius who helped Britain win the war. But should a little-known Post Office engineer named Tommy Flowers be seen as the real father of comput...

"A Mother’s Love" by Carl Olof Petersen - or not. the inernet can't decide if it's actually his painting or an ai creation. but it's a burly mother in a white old-fashioned garment cinched at the waist with a red sash - determinedly hugging a screaming, fanged, wild-eyed-andhaired demon that's mostly black-skinned with red eyes, mouth and bodily highlights. there's a sunrise happening behind it, over a city; behind her is a wall or dark monolith or something like that. the thing doesn't seem interested in harming her, but is definitely staring past her; she seems to be restraining it for now.

Brutal, and/or *slightly* worse than so many other working class late-boomer/gen-x upbringings.

(Just no place anywhere at the time to even admit problems, let alone get help for them, or place a family, or or or etc.)

I mean you *seem* okay to me, but LOL. =D

Movie executives apparently being baffled that both:
A) A Minecraft film would make so much money;
B) A Tron sequel led by Jared Leto would be a big winner in 2025
... seems to say a lot about both 1) the bizarrely ongoing mainstream non-grasp of games and 2) inflated movie executive salaries.
