Of course I noticed the typo 100 years later and will now sail off the edge of the world in a tiny boat
NEW: When Propecy Fails is one of the most famous social psychology books of all time, a look at a small group of UFO believers when the “spacemen” failed to land. I wrote about a new study from an independent researcher who says the book is not what it seems. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
It’s one of the most influential social psychology studies ever. Was it all a lie?
A classic book on UFO believers and their "cognitive dissonance" after aliens failed to land is called into question.

Hello! Annoying news! I’ve been informed by work that due to an investor delay I am not going to be paid on time. I need to pay my rent and internet/phone and eat, so if you can give me a hand, I can pay you back in the next few weeks when my pay shows up. Thanks!

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

Independent media is the only way.
At this point, the Washpost edit page is just trolling its readers.
This is today's actual house editorial.

Ben Smith never deserved the adulation he got for BuzzFeed News. The reporters were all amazing but anyone with tons of VC cash can hire a great team.
Smith was not able to protect the news operation from a single industry headwind and it collapsed the instant the $$$ plug was pulled.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.
so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.
