The federal government must push back on the Trump administration's blatant foreign interference in our independent research in the strongest possible terms.

The absolute double think in this quote. How is it foreign interference in your research, if it's our money in the first place? It's only foreign interference when we STOP funding you? So you're entitled to our funding without us having a say in it?

Get absolutely fucked.

Not only is Boris a bloviating sack of crap, Triggernometry's hosts are absolutely insufferable. Especially the guy with the glasses. And their mid-stream sales pitcher are completely terrible. I can't stand to watch them even when they have a guest I like!

It wasn't just the kicking off of era for Adult Swim, it kicked off Adult Swim, period. They leveraged the success of Space Ghost and managed to turn it into Adult Swim. Without Space Ghost, no Adult Swim.

Oh no! That's a real shame. Guy was an icon. He did a lot of stuff with AS, back in the day, besides just Space Ghost. Although that was certainly his most famous work, and was pretty much responsible for AS becoming its own thing in the first place.

Article says he came out in 1996. So he was a gay imam for 30 years...

I used to live in Cairo and whenever my friends from stateside would come visit me, we'd have to warn all the women what to wear and how to act. I can see in this video that the woman is wearing shorts. Shorts are NOT okay for women to wear in Egypt. They're barely okay for MEN to wear in Egypt.

When you go to a foreign country, respect their customs! It's not that hard.

What is the source for all of this, if you don't mind my asking?

The former, because without them, we wouldn't have problems with the latter.

All I have seen is Altman bending the knee. It ain't like Trump is taking him golfing.

Soft targets, mostly. Attacking a toddler with a weapon is a lot easier than attacking a grown man.

No it is not! I do not know why it is titled in that fashion. I am only on the first short story/novella.

Fair warning: Stross's prose is a bit of an acquired taste.

I am currently reading "The Unaccountability Machine," by Dan Davies, which is basically about large systems (corporations, banks, governments, etc) and how they actually have a mind of their own, independent from the people working there, or ostensibly running them.

For fiction, I'm currently reading an old collection of Charles Stross novellas and short stories called "Accelerando," which is kind of about AI and general futurism. It was published in 2005.

Seriously! Today is a day of celebration!!! Yes, what Biden did today with the pardons was terrible, but we can address that later. Tomorrow. We can address a lot of things tomorrow, and Trump plans on starting this afternoon! But do not let the negatives get you down. We have won big, and today is a day to celebrate that!!!
