So far I am coming down on the side of not much to worry about, though when observing its interactions I am fascinated and occasionally vacillate between joyfulness and astonishment, perhaps like interacting with a precocious child. I tend towards thinking that if we do manage to finally birth some ...

Hmm, I shouldn't give either "Breaking Bad" or "Blade Runner 2049" short shrift. I did enjoy both of those! It's too easy to forget the good and dwell on the bad. I did also watch "Better Call Saul," and it seemed to be a worthy reprise/sequel to Breaking Bad. Re Blade ...

Lately I have had trouble interesting myself in contemporaneous shows. I'm not enough of a critic to be able to articulate the reason for my apathy, but I do know that a rescreening of Lord of the Rings, for example, can still command my undivided attention and emotional involvement. Possibly some o...

Comparing duckduckgo results to Google results can sometimes offer a fascinating glimpse into the algorithmic manipulations being used.

You could almost believe from reading that garbage that it wasn't Russia that invaded Ukraine. It's obviously the West's fault that Russia is in demographic collapse and is lashing out in its death throes.

The 80's called...

What transpired was pretty much what Trump had said he wanted, with only one small deviation: no photo op at Camp David with the Taliban. So I’m not sure what you’re on about with regards to Biden. Most of you Trump types were all for the Afghan war under Bush, then turned against it under Obama, t...

At least this proxy conflict more clearly illuminates who the enemies of the West and the allies of the new Axis are, that view needs refreshing once in a while.

The Guardian has lost track of what they were guarding.

As I recall, Bush invaded, and Donald Trump established the withdrawal timeline and legitimized Taliban authority prior to Biden taking office. Sad. Good thing you have a while to put some polish on that turd. Maybe add something like "inevitable consequence," "baked into the cake,&q...

I wonder about MacGregor's batting average.

I do not think I have been exposed to the hypothesis that radiation from uranium was responsible for the creation of life.

I can sympathize with the plight of China's pole.

Re what Lex termed as a debate between those two fellows resulted in fairly little disagreement that I could discern. Perhaps with the surplus of polemics in other realms, the mainstream might be ready to welcome nuance into the climate debate at last.

I was speaking on the Democrats lack of candidates. Just wait you mind will change again. When you go to the bank and they tell you you can't have your money that means something,. It's a little insulting that you think I need to be scaremongered into realizing that the our institutions are engaged...

Handed to him by who? Tulsi Gabbard? With the coming collapse, being a democrat candidate for POTUS is going to be a no go out of the gate. There will be no amount of cheating by the Democrats to make up the numbers to win. Handed to him by people like me who hit their BS limit. I just can't do it ...

The Democrats don't have anyone to run at this point. Neither does the GOP, in essence. Maybe Trump has 80% of conservative voters at best. Let's say 90%. And that is it. He's going to get his ample hindquarters handed to him, unless by some kind of divine intervention, he learns that it's not all ...

Trump's in, and I'm out. All Dems need to do is run somebody reasonably good to get my vote. Lord help us all if Joe runs again, I honestly don't think he has it in him. So odd that Dem partisans can't see him for the shambling dotard that he is. Actually that's the one of only scenarios where I cou...

...In 2002 GW Bush gained control of the Senate... Ease up on the Kool-Aid, that was right after 9/11 and everyone was in shock and circling the wagons. Biden's unpopularity and the bad economy combined with the usual midterm effect should have had the GOP making much larger gains. I'm sure you kno...
