You want to do a Romeo & Juliet adaptation? I got you. Don't make it a period piece. Don't modernize it. Don't set it in another country/culture. You go back. Way back. Further. No, further.
Romeo is a Gorgosaurus. Juliet is a Daspletosaurus. They live in Cretaceous Alberta. Go!

this is evil. acting like this is evil. being this ignorant of material reality (get back in the uber?? what the fuck???) is an abdication of your obligations to be an informed and sensitive human being
Peter, please get right back in that Uber and help that man and his family- its not enough to give him money and post-

after the smashing success of REACHER, the superhero show where he only kills people who deserve it, we think we've cracked the formula. tune in for ICE MAN, about a heroic immigration officer who mag-dumps anytime he sees a protest sign
stick around after the credits for a sneak peek of GESTAPO

friend told me a story about her dad’s college music class where they wrote different examples of classical compositions John Williams ripped off and John Williams showed up for a masterclass one day, saw it, went over to the blackboard and started adding more examples

there's a twinkie/toaster strudel joke to be made here that my agéd millennial brain just can't quite assemble
Lacey Chabert is gonna play the HELL out of this role in a Hulu series.
🧵Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers. Two of them were women. Her sex partners were Clarisse Navarro, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finnegan. Navarro's husband Jace Ratzlaff: "I assumed this would eventually surface. I’ll have no further comment on this topic.”

Methadone Reacher has a decently-sized following in liberal demos, actually.
Something John Oliver said that more of us want to take to heart:
more people will watch Tracker this week, a show none of us has ever heard of, than have ever watched Last Week Tonight.
Most of them vote, and none of them care about what Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer said or did this year.

ok while we're doing radical education reform discourse I think four night a week urban boarding school like in Spiderverse would be hugely beneficial to a lot of teens and their families. take some of the pressure off the parents, give the kids both stability and independence, spider powers
Our schools, now as ever, do a good job educating students who arrive prepared, supported, and motivated.
And, now as ever, they do a poor job educating students who arrive unprepared, unsupported, or unmotivated.
Providing preparation, support, and motivation when it is missing is the way ahead.

racism is a crime in brazil, and it can't hold bail. we have people sued, trialed and found guilty, serving time AND paying hefty indemnizarions. homo trans and lesbophobia are crimes equivalent to racism here.

after staring at this accurséd thing long enough I think I finally see what they were going for. the triangle of light is the top point of the star.
As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!

idk I just finished Reacher and it seems pretty easy to do in a live/work creative loft suite in Toronto? have scientists tried that?
The truth is that we don't need to synthesize deadly pathogens - nature does that for us rather ably. The big hurdle for bioterrorism is not Is There Pathogen?
It's mass producing it, transporting it, disseminating it, and not dying from it yourself.
All those things are *hard*.

I would love for bio-attack doomers to learn how difficult it is to even grow, like, lettuce
There is no magical virus printing machine, there is no "Computer, make me a billion bacteria"
Even assuming LLMs can produce a viable genome (and that's a BIG FUCKING IF), bioengineering a synthetic microorganism is *years* of highly skilled lab work (by humans) to make even a test tube of them.
