If you want a true answer, ask a true question. Co-workers following me is fine, but be aware that this is an unfiltered feed, with all that that entails!

Maybe that's the real reason America hates Cuba. They show you can have functionally no new cars since the 50s and still have time to invent a vaccine for lung cancer.

omg a 19 year old Swedish philosophy student started a religion dedicated to copying and pasting bc it is the “fundamental act in our universe through copying of cells, DMA, and genes” and now it has thousands of members and is registered as a 501(c) in Illinois

Alternative framing of this same point (inspired by the trillion-dollar coin): as the world we live in gets stupider, ridiculous solutions begin to look smarter

So I was impressed with the self-analysis of Buzz Dixon, one of the main writers on the GI Joe cartoon from the 80s, and what he feels his responsibility is for the US response to 9/11. It's worth your time to read it in full this morning. buzzdixon.com/home/christian…

This is a very challenging time to have white parents. You can’t keep an eye on them 24/7 and they’re so impressionable at this age and lord knows what they’re gonna stumble across on the Internet :/ – at Austin, TX

It’s time this country admitted that Brad Neely’s “Washington” is better than Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton.”

Similarly, everyone's boldest fantasies of the future right now are based on bad sci-fi they read as young people, most of that written by aging men with their own imagination stunted by experience. Whatever optimism I have about the future is rooted in that dearth of imagination

Just reread this @SarahPinsker story again. It's so darn good. escapepod.org/2018/11/01/esc…

Escape Pod 652: And Then There Were (N-One), (Part 1)

I considered declining the invitation. It was too weird, too expensive, too far, too dangerous, too weird. Way too weird. An invitation like that would never come again. I’d regret it if I didn’t go.

We urgently need to get to the bottom of how this cluster spread. I suggest gathering all the principals together in one room, Hercule Poirot style, for however long it takes to get answers.
