I've been not reading mainstream #comicbooks for few years. What's hot for summer 2025? The new Superman and Krypto titles look good, and I think I'll pick up some Ultimate Spider-Man and Fantastic Four. Anything else I should have on my radar?

I’m grateful that at least one American billionaire left his legacy to support important research like this at Harvard.

I was looking through the list of names of the Popes (confirming that yes, there was a Pope Mark who didn’t coach basketball) when I discovered that Pope Hilarious held the papacy in the 460’s. Pope Hilarious!

I’m not generally in favor of media consolidation, but I wouldn’t be sad if some of the minor streaming services merged. I’m not paying for Paramount+, Peacock, and Apple+ separately, but I might go for a combo if I didn’t have to switch between platforms on my TV.

Way too many people hear β€œlanguage model” and think the algorithm understands language. It does not. It reduces letters to numbers and looks for patterns in the numbers. That’s all it does. That’s all it can do. It does not derive meaning; it does not extrapolate consequences.

Dear everybody: stop saying "changes your brain chemistry." Depending what you mean by this phrase, it's either so insignificant that it can be accomplished by simply existing or so profound that it impossibly alters the laws of physics.

Recalibrating Olfactory Neuroscience

Odorant concentrations in natural regimes rarely exceed a few parts per billion, while most experimental studies investigating olfactory coding and behavior exceed these concentrations by several orders of magnitude.
