Fuck Chase. He just shoots a net or lays out cones. Motherfucker steals the spotlight from the real hero pups. Between Rocky, Zuma, and Slye there’s no reason for him. And super spy Chase is bullshit too. He was such a useless fucking dead weight they retconned him mid season to be more useful.

All Cops Are Bastards

MoO2 periodically for building ships and controlling the whole fleet. Stellaris is fine but so many systems are a chore in that game and at the same time paper thin in depth. Older games had tactics and strategy.

No! That’s how we got here!

High winds would break necks

The stand outs in my book(heh):

• Agatha Christie
• Mary Roach
• Ursula K LeGuin
• Madeline L’Engle
• Mary Ruefle
• Kathy Reichs

Is this the timeline where the slow burn reveal of all the conspiracy theories are basically true now because the crazy people went into politics and are now doing what they screamed about on corners for years? They’re creating the New World Order to protect the rich families using aggressive nationalism backed by groups of like minded genocidists.

You found a termite

Cat Power sang a short cover of Space Odyssey for a car commercial. It never got released into a full cover and it kills me to know it may never see release.

Wouldn’t the face float eyeless on the goop inside the cocoon?

Capitalism kills humankind one way or another

Or throwing phones at the windows.

Why not look up whether he raped children? Seems like there is a genuinely bad person there and the police avoid doing their job. Lazy nonces.

It truly is astounding how apathetic the Nobel Institute is towards the people they are awarding. Like, some basic research about their nominee’s time zone should be fundamental. Maybe get their schedule and let them know they are in consideration and when decisions will be rendered so they can be ready (or absent if they want).

But the current approach of cold calling scientists in the middle of the night just shows how little they care.

So a chunk of lead today could have been pre-cambrian uranium?

Seeing charts like this reminds of Dean Stockwell’s monologue in Battlestar about how frustrating it is to see a supernova within such a limited spectrum. So fracking good.

A murder investigation

The saga started two years ago at Caltech’s Zwicky Transient Facility located at the Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California. There, astronomers from Harvard University, the Smithsonian’s Center for Astrophysics, and MIT tasked a newly designed machine learning algorithm to scan the night skies for odd explosions in real time. Operators hoped that quickly flagging possible targets in this way could offer vital extra time for ground and space telescope array observations around the world. In July 2023, the AI system sighted one such event, which astronomers classified SN 2023zkd.

Comparative scanning of the night skies is a good use for AI.
