Stories about “science gone awry” are almost always about non-scientists screwing up.

There’s a good girl.

Not if you’re Rosa on Brooklyn 99. She would just sleep under the bed with a sword.

Most people need the feeling of being covered, even if it’s just a sheet.

In the US the term “informed electorate” is a joke. Big elections are advertising competitions. Or in the most recent case voting machine hacking.

They mean as opposed to inherited, not in the way you mean it.

I used it to get some big decals off a car I bought.

If chimps ever take over the world and have a space program they’ll send grass to Uranus.

“Step in?” Well, because the world isn’t run by a mom and dad who step in and make governments do the right things.

I never even heard of Bottles, but it seems to me that free/opensource software gets into trouble like this when it tries to go bigtime by hiring a fulltime paid staff. If everything remained a side project that grew at the pace of however much time people had available to devote to it, wouldn’t it avoid overwhelming server costs and having to beg for money?

I didn’t even know sunglasses did that. Remember that when you’re out in the real world you aren’t on social media. Go ahead and wear whatever you want.

Found Alex Fresco!

Same here, I signed up immediately. Also had a google phone # for a while, but never used it and I don’t think it even works anymore. I think they only created those to gather test data for voice recognition.

Nothing is going to fill people with much hope until Bonespurs is out of office, and even then recovering from MAGA’s vandalism-fest will take years.

Ok, I guess we’ll have to see if Rosie O’Donnell is escorted across the border.
