I make robots professionally and talk unprofessionally.

When in a long queue, finding a seat in a bus, train — you are not choosing the name of a child. There is no reason to stop, carefully consider the personal and societal impact of every seat. Maybe unblock the 200 people behind you. We are considering your impact on humanity.

X is now trying to advertise on X about how you should advertise on X. Please. Desperate times.

Russell Brand, remade as a right-wing Christian influencer, is now selling a "magical amulet" that protects you from WiFi signals and other "evil energies." Only $239.99 per amulet.

They were expecting the lead intake to continue at that stage.
I love that all us Millennials were told by our Boomer parents that we’d get more conservative as we aged and here we are in our 30s/40s and all liberal AF.

I’m surprised that more social media posts aren’t just guttural screaming and profanity. Perhaps the algorithms are too good at filtering or maybe the void has been overflowing since 2020 and just can’t take any more.

Whenever I hear “manifestation”, I hear a person that is likely privileged and has found a way to somehow take credit for that same privilege and the free stuff it comes with.
The Secret’s law of attraction is based on a thinking error called Thought-Action Fusion, which is linked to anxiety disorders and OCD. Example: "If I think about a car accident, it's more likely to happen." “Manifestation” is pure nonsense. - https://t.co/wtU9OX85of -

Thankfully all were largely saved the zombie apocalypse. Guess their polling of +70% of WC was largely magical thinking.
The Cape Independence party was like a pack of zombies: a few very pale people lunging forward, in desperate need of brains.

Exceptionally proud of this major milestone: we built the first water retaining quay wall with robots in the world. (The sand between the buildings is going to be dug out and become a canal in the coming weeks.) I'm particularly proud that @BuildMonumental is able to contribute

So, maker of “What the Bleep do we Know?” - is sucked into a MLM cult for 12 years and worships a leader claiming to have invented new mathematics to describe the fundamentals of the universe. Sadly, not surprised he couldn’t spot a fake scientist.

It’s wild that people are advocating against a vaccine because it has mRNA in it for genetic risk. They’d rather a virus genetically alters their DNA at random (that’s how a virus works) and uncontrollably destroys cells and exploding the cell contents into their bodies.

@jonathanstea Presumably the less we celebrate World Homeopathy Day, the more impact it will have.

My wife just “burped” her strawberry kombucha. All did not go to plan and it looks like someone was shot with a large calibre weapon, at close range, in the kitchen.

“I’m more of an ideas guy” - translation: I don’t like actually doing anything difficult and just want to give opinions, often way outside my field of experience/competence to people that are already doing the work.
