one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I think a lot of people are secretly hoping that somehow Elder Scrolls 6 will have even a half-decent story.
Y’all, Skyrim barely had a half-decent main story lol. But at least it didn’t take them 15 YEARS AND COUNTING.
Time to just admit that BGS has lost the magic. Blame Micro$oft and move on.

Thoughts on Yuval Harari?
I was sort of half listening to Homo Deus at 1.5x speed today while crawling in and out of the attic and kinda got the impression that that’s really the ideal way to consume it: as background noise punctuated with a lot of unrelated and very loud swearing.

Putting insulation in my attic and from the boards I’m moving around to crawl on to the roof PEAK is only 3’, the joists are spaced irregularly, the struts make even crawling where the roof is highest a pain, this is a nightmare, who builds like this, now I know why it was never insulated

This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly – not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Australian tropical rainforest trees switch in world first from carbon sink to emissions source

I know the Epstein files are also bad but I don’t want to be the only person who remembers that Trump and Elon Musk killed hundreds of thousands of people by dismantling USAID…and millions more could die by 2030. So yeah they’re monsters, but we already knew that. They’re killing kids.

Started reading Forbidden Fruit: The Ethics of Secularism by Paul Kurtz today. So far I like it, might be what I’ve been looking for. Part of what I’ve been looking for, anyway.

Chat now that Ashes of Creation has turned to dust of cancelation there’s a market niche that needs to be filled.
So I’m going to make an MMO, go ahead and start sending me money.
Don’t worry about the details or whether I have game dev experience, that’s not important. Just send money and believe

War of the Worlds, the new one, at least it was so bad it was funny so it still had some unintentional entertainment value.
Falling Skies somehow makes Earth being conquered by alien invaders just…boring. Sci fi flavored soap opera but with really bad music and without the good soap opera parts.

Seriously if your book is just switching back and forth between different characters who all use first person POV I might as well just read a Reddit thread

A bajillion romance novels and they’re all written in first person with the same tired tropes. I remember why I don’t like this genre now :(

I need to reread the Dark Tower series, basically don’t remember anything after Wizard and Glass (series apex, great book).
Except…
I remember how the last book ended. I hated it.
Hm. Maybe read a romance novel instead, not my favorite genre but at least there’s a bajillion of them.

According to Steven Pinker in Enlightenment Now, wealth inequality isn’t a big deal because the poors are better off now than they used to be.
I’m sure that’s a great comfort to folks struggling to keep food on the table while the uber rich buy up more real estate to rent back for exorbitant prices

Finally looked up what this newfangled “New Atheism” thing is supposed to be and it’s just…atheism? But built into a weird little personality cult centered around “The Four Horsemen.”
That can’t be right, that’s way too stupid.
