'How the hell come we stick these low-life bastards in these big-ass hotels, anyway? Shit, man! This is better than I got!'

Didn't realise that racist cop in the opening of Dawn of the Dead was helping develop UK immigration policies.

Two stories on the same day: a US general is using ChatGPT, the same AI platform that can't figure out the timing of the tides.

If I was the BBC, I might have tried to come up with a title other than 'Parkinson meets Muhammad Ali'...

It's a little weird that a google scholar search for 'planet of the apes race sovereignty' turns up a crank David Icke-lite book about alien lizard people running the world. On the first page!

I've finally finished the original run of the planet of apes and I'm looking forward to reading Eric Greene's book. University press book covers in the 90s were... different.

The findings about attitudes towards 'wokeness' is also frustrating (beyond the use of 'woke'). Framing wokeness as cultural rather than political is certainly a choice. And this would seem to suggest that there is more ideological diversity within Progressive Activism than the rest of the groups.

Take the idea that 'Progressive Activists are the only segment to think breaking the law can be necessary for social change'. That kind of shows that Progressive Activists actually understand history more than the other groups, unless we're writing off the Suffragettes and the Civil Rights Movement.
