The Lieutenant Commander of the US Coast Guard just absolutely starstruck and hanging on Our Mysterious Filmmaker’s every word
Excerpt from an interview with James Cameron: [continues] …of in the 3- to 4,000 meter depth range and so on. And, you know, I became an informal pilot of the Mir submersibles, learning, you know, from their pilots. And then we -- if I'm going into too much detail, stop me. Q. No. No, sir. It's great.

I’m cranky today
Gob by AB A 4 panel digital comic. In panel one, a green goblin runs up to a purple goblin, shouting. “Wait, Wait!! What are you doing???”. The purple goblin is sitting on the ground, holding a pair of pliers up to their own teeth. In panel 2, the goblins talk. Purple goblin replies, “I’m pulling out my own teeth.” Green goblin asks “Why??” Purple goblin then explains, “The World has gone crazy. Everything beautiful and genuine is being set on fire. People are being attacked and imprised for their identities, ther status, and their beliefs.” In panel 3, the purple goblin continues ranting. “Every single day, my wages drop and the cost of living goes up… the social ecosystem and satety nets are poisoned by the same forces that are bent towards destroying our natural ecosystem, too... and meanwhile, our collective mental health and interpersonal relationships continue to degrade and became de-prioritized, making us all feel transactionally put-upon and overwhelmed by everyone else's increasing and unmanaged Stress an Trauma Caused by the Social Media Age. In panel 4, the green goblin rebuts: “Okay, but don't you think self harm is both unproductive and a little cliché?” The purple goblin hisses and says “Leave me to my self-indulgent Martyrdom!!!”

This is basically my religion
A screen capture from a Thomas Thoroughgood video where he is showing a clip from a Minutephysics video published in 2011. In the video, the host shows that the traditional explanation of the Shrödinger’s Cat experiment is unsatisfactory if “you” are not the final observer. There still must be some meta-observation happening to collapse YOUR wavefunction into a state of “observed a deceased cat” or “observed an alive cat”, and this is especially easy to demonstrate from a third person perspective. The meta-observer pops up a LOT in physics……….
