Oh my goodness Light No Fire looks so good. I really hope they've learned the right lessons from No Man's Sky, because that trailer looked like everything I want from a game.

I agree with your point in general, but I have a hard time applying it here. Unless the lawsuit alleges that MM hacked into Twitter or doctored the screenshots, then the core claim of the MM report "Twitter served ad Y next to post Z" is not under dispute. If the claim is that refreshing a page is malicious, then I don't think we need to wait to call the lawsuit malicious.

This is a beautiful blog post and I recommend reading it. I never used Omegle, but I now understand what we've lost.

I think this may be different than the Jeopardy situation. I know there's a general sentiment that Burton was the best option - and I felt the same way at the start of the process - but I've read a lot of behind-the-scenes accounts that suggest Burton simply wasn't good at the job. They had to spend hours refilming segments in ways that weren't necessary for other hosts, and the finished product wasn't as good as most of us were imagining.

Obviously the Mike Richards situation was ridiculous, and maybe there was sabotage we don't know about. My own sense is that the hive mind was wrong about Burton for that specific role - and that's not a knock on Burton! - and things concluded well for everyone.

I don't think you're arguing in bad faith, but I'm not going to engage with that because I don't want to get lost in a semantic argument.

Have you ever been bullied before? When you were young, did kids ever call you names? It sucked, right? Even in kindergarten you were smart enough to be hurt by it.

Now, imagine the teacher started calling you mean names as well.

And your parents.

And everyone you love.

And now imagine that you tried to carve out a small part of your life where you weren't being called something horrible.

Wouldn't you have deserved that? Weren't you smart enough to know you didn't deserve to be called names?

I'm not sure that matters when the question is about whether children are eligible for human rights. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we put many children in danger by telling parents who their child is.

Higher Priority: Basic rights of the child

Lower Priority : Parent's access to the internal lives of another human

I had exactly this problem. It's super annoying that there's no error message explaining the character limit.

I've listened to half of the first episode and can report that it is healing the late-night sized hole in my soul.

The concept of pornographic memory is hilarious without bounds. Like, you experience moments normally, but the second you try to recall them everything is sexy and two-dimensional.

You go for an appointment and are upset that everyone isn't naked like you remember from last time.

You try to remember the steps for baking bread, and you can't figure out how you ever managed to do it without getting flour EVERYWHERE.

You're constantly perplexed by movie age ratings. Kids are allowed to see THAT?!

The tech that made this possible is really cool. They force DNA through a teeny-tiny hole in a protein, and measure changes in voltage to ID each individual letter.

Totally different from traditional shotgun sequencing!

Nothing today will make me sadder than knowing this isn't a real book
