Albert Brooks was born Albert Einstein and that is not a name you can give to a child, come on.

This feels like a canon Starfire opinion. She would love the microwave! It's a much friendlier device than a rice cooker, with its rotations and beeps and she would be oblivious to the Horror on every other Titan's face.

A lot of people seem to think this money will go to consumers when, in fact, it will go to the importers who were actually charged illegal tariffs. So your prices first went up because of tariffs and now, the taxpayer gets to fork over 100 billion dollars to the people who raised those prices.

Closest I have for this is Kelsey Grammer, who definitely did his best work with Frasier, but he was still funny as hell on both his 30 Rock appearances, which happened two years after he played Patton in the deeply embarrassing, deeply right-wing An American Carol.

If we're including rare earth mining, then your phone is much, much worse for the environment. How much data capacity is needed for YouTube allowing anyone to upload videos for free?

I am not pro-AI, but these critiques are unserious and unwilling to note real problems in the tech we use.

The environmental impact of the pulp timber industry massively outpaces the impact of AI and it's not even close.

Handrich (Marienburg god of Capitalism) being a face of Ranald (universal human Trickster god) can be read as either "capitalists are just thieves" or "Capitalism ushers in a revolution to overturn the world of Feudalism" because Ranald is god of both Thieves and Revolutionaries.

KGB guy who also wants a cool spy showdown, but doesn't have the budget for it, so he fakes a secret master plot in the hope of baiting the CIA into foiling it. Culminates in a big fistfight/speech about ideology on top of a giant satellite dish (the power bill has not been paid in six months).

It's crazy that I knew what you were posting about, googled "Woody Guthrie Trump" got a wikipedia page, and then thought to myself, "Hold on, didn't the song have a Trump/Tramp thing going on?" and lo and behold, Woody Guthrie had *two* songs about Fred Trump.

Yeah, the guy in Texas who murdered his daughter and didn't get indicted is Jury Nullification, this is just juries working as intended with a malicious and incompetent prosecutor abusing the law.

I heard Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car in a public place yesterday and I thought β€œthis is what Michael Hobbes wants to take away” and I think I need to log off of social media for a while.

Part of that was OpenAI desperately needing commercial use/moonshot possibilities to justify funding. If it stayed within Google, it probably wouldn't be ethically better tech, but it could have been sold in terms of how engineers and coders actually can use it as a tool rather than the God-Machine.

Love the commercial advertising the evil surveillance app from The Dark Knight, as long as they promise to only use it for looking for lost dogs

Every year, the Air Force does a flyover over the Super Bowl, and every year, we wonder if this will be the time they actually bomb it.

It's a resolution system in that it runs until one player realizes that this is the Bad Place and Michael has to reboot the simulation.

Your main question is the same main question pretty much every believer ever has engaged in and it's a massive part of any kind of religious studies, much less theology. You can start here and work your way through the thousands of ways people have engaged it.

Some Batman villains have that loser energy that's core to Trumpism. I could see Riddler in an Elon Musk-esque role because he desperately needs everyone to see how smart he is. Two-Face, furious and incoherent, could also fit in with the Hegseth set.
