Some writers are so bad I always wonder how they got a book deal when I probably could not. How does that happen?
If anyone thinks competence has to do with much it most likely just means they’ve never worked in the corporate world before. I started reading a book written so poorly I wondered if it was some sort of satire of clumsy, oafish writing.
It was not.
I want to be on my best behavior today but I'm not sure how this is going to go when I keep hearing these Fox journalists saying that Morocco is from the Arab world. I am providing a map of Africa for reference 👇 pic.twitter.com/t7drhxPFd9

One of the official languages of Morocco is Arabic and it is a member of the Arab League. I know it blows liberals’ minds, but two things can be true at once. Arab Berber is 98 percent of the total population of Morocco, by the way.
Clown world. Most of Egypt is in Africa too. Shhhh, don’t tell them! They’ll probably die of shock.
All progress depends on the difficult task of formulating the right questions.
The question that can be asked is not the true question.

This I agree with and it’s why philosophy is indispensable. Without it, you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing, why you’re doing it, what result you hope to achieve or how to assess that you’ve arrived at the end point you set out to reach.
I don’t usually have the patience for drum covers but this is great. I wondered how she was going to handle the very fast dual kick drum parts with a very different setup than Lars ever used. She’s a more precise drummer but I think Lars’ setup sounded better overall. I’d love to see her play it on this:
you watch the abyss and you wonder how they filmed some of these sequences without anybody dying. unfortunately the answer to that question is “barely”

Ayup. People literally drowned and were revived during the making of that film. I couldn’t find it again, but I think I remember an interview from the late 1990s with one of the actors from The Abyss. The interviewer said, “You looked like you were dying in that scene.”
And the response was, “That’s because I was dying.”
I get really mad reading the huge list of clean energy projects delayed by years or cancelled altogether in the US because of permitting.
NIMBY’s are fucking this country (and the world!) and regulation like NEPA is enabling them. https://t.co/PW1bkJq6S3

And 90% of NIMBYs are Boomers. I bet this will improve a lot when they die off.

This is probably giving the New Puritan “liberals” ideas.
