The insistence on making these robots bipedal is probably the most obvious giveaway that it's all a big carny gimmick

Folks, loony Zohran is going to make our beautiful Sunnis mention Ali in the adhan, it’s true, Ali—great guy, but I like caliphs who don’t get assassinated—and Zohran wants us to make him almost equal to the Prophet Muhammad, PBUH, you can’t do that, it’s not right!

A biologist at the American Museum of Natural History, Jonathan Coddington, cataloged a new genus of South American spiders in 1986.
Two things about the spider were unique:
they lived in caves & laid cubic eggs.
So he called them genus 'Plato', and that's the nerdiest thing I have read all year.

“He was a bad guy but did great science”—maybe choose to make “He/She wasn’t a bad person and did great science” the main character even though the bad guy is striving to cling to the spotlight.
I think a lot about why Bardeen is less famous than Feynman despite winning two Nobels. Why isn’t Sanger more famous than Watson? The point is that the double helix isn’t by far the most important thing ever discovered. It’s a narrative that kept getting outsized public exposure. Why was that?
It’s really worth clicking through here and just reading the stark litany of vile stuff Watson said. Also worth reflecting on why he was so extraordinarily famous. The Nobel is awarded every year. Who gets to be a real celebrity? How correlated is breakout fame with vulgar self-promotion?

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so let’s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdani‘s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ -- Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Cara was a word for 'face' in everyday Latin, very rare in ancient writings, but it took off in Romance languages like Spanish.
Cara became chiere in Old French, and via the Normans, it took on new meanings in English, going from 'facial expression' to 'happiness' and 'loud shout' – namely, cheer.

if someone is willing to pay for the products, i'd be willing to purchase these items, deconstruct them, and give them to expert tailors, shoemakers, and craftspeople for review. i will also see if i can track down the factories. i would be interested to know if these items are made in the US
