I mean, your bed is home to tens of thousands of microscopic bugs as well. I’d rather not smell them.

There was already an outbreak of thousand year old Anthrax from thawed animal corpses in Siberia several years ago.
He did a TED talk in 2010 and there are several articles about him. Not much news in recent years, I guess he wasn’t very succesful in turning his motion control concept into a viable product. I interviewed him about eight years ago.
Shout out also to John Underkoffler who was the technical advisor on Minority Report (and later Iron Man). The gesture controls in that movie heavily inspired the first smartphones.
Cat poop coffee is still the grossest food. Well, maybe this one cheese with live maggots jumping into your face while eating it has it beat.
There is a very cool sci-fi novel called Children of Time in which jumping spiders are accidentally uplifted and evolve into an intelligent species.
I always liked the theory that fungi are actually aliens that came from some asteroid from another planet and have just been around long enough that nobody bats an eye at them anymore. I mean, look at slime mold and tell me that not basically Venom!
Even worse, only to appease shareholders that are only after short term gains and might even bet on the company failing.
WarnerBrosDiscovery is in massive debt (40 billion) to AT&T, which is itself in even more debt (138 billion). They are trying to make as much money liquid as quickly as they can to pay off the debt, long term profitability be damned. I wouldn’t be surprised if WBD is bought by an ever bigger player in a few years (Apple, Sony, Disney or Microsoft).
Which is one of many many examples to succinctly prove that there’s no intelligent design behind life on Earth.
Fun fact, trying to determine if a dog is more intelligent than a cat is nearly impossible because that it’s hard to tell if the cat doesn’t understand the test or just can’t be bothered.
The problem I have with the concept of a conscious soul that survives my death is the question what version of me survives. If it’s the version I was when I died, the younger versions of me still stay dead. If it’s an ideal younger version of me, the older version still died. In fact, the soul would always only be a part of me since it lacks the biochemical processes of the body. So it would be another entity possessing my memories but it wouldn’t be me, I’d still be dead.
Only a question of time. Ads are already digitally inserted into movies and shows.
A lot of people are having a hard time right now. Try to be the change you want to see and react kindly and rationally would be my advice.
Reminds me of the fact that Helicopter is a compound noun of helico (spiral) and pter (wing).
Mistborn by Brandan Sanderson.
Yep, it’s a vicious circle. We are seeing the streaming services literally eating themselves for (very) short term profit.
Conan O’Brien. He’s just effortlessly funny, especially when he’s just riffing with Sona and Matt on “Conan O’Brien needs a friend”.
I thought superheroes were real and all lived in New York. To be fair, it was my only contact with Western culture.
I really like my water pillow.
