  • Whales and time travel to the present day. Which is 1986, of course.

  • Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

    I was 3 years old and my parents took me to see it at a drive in theater. Fell asleep before the end.

  • "We asked former White House press secretary Sean Spicer for comment, but he ran away and hid in the bushes."

  • Part of my job is to review security footage for reported incidents.

    If there is a long-lasting visual cue that the event has or has not happened yet (e.g. a window is either broken or not), then a binary search is very useful.

    If the event lasts only a moment and leaves no visual cue (e.g. an assault), then binary search is practically useless.

  • So apparently this woman works for a competing (fringe right wing) book publisher. In which case Scholastic might have grounds to sue.

  • "There's no such thing as an innocent billionaire."

    By the same token, the Second Amendment doesn't say "guns".

  • The sheer number of people, organizations, and national institutions that fell over each other in scrambling to support Israel/condemn Hammas set off my bullshit detector.

    I'm still not taking sides, but the pro-Israel blitzkrieg is so over the top that I don't accept it at face value. Someone's trying to sell me something.

  • Also, the rest of this propaganda piece.

  • Give them lethal weapons, lock them in a room, and let them have at it.
