I agree. He's setting up a classic straw man. "The only way we can afford UBI is by letting the conservatives gut other necessary social programs." That's not a flaw in UBI, that's just an assumption that the politi

Ah yes, Elon Musk, the man of integrity and credibility, you can always take him at his word.

It's Musk fatigue. We're all sick and tired of his constant waffling and gameplaying. Just because he now says he'll buy Twitter doesn't actually mean anything, he could easily reverse himself again. Frankly, he's m

Climate change is not an on/off switch. It's been slowly building up for many years, and even if we somehow manage to reverse the trend, it will get much worse before it gets better. It's too late to avoid some very serious a

I guess I have no taste. I had a lot of fun playing with the "live" music generator. Some of the settings produced interesting, catchy riffs. As a musician and a listener, I vastly prefer real instruments played by real musicians,

I tried the app, but found it gimmicky. I preferred the original mix, and really didn't care if I could emphasize one instrument or another -- the recording engineer already did a better job than I could. Also, it seemed to add some no

This is gonna be a nightmare for web hosts. And it's gonna make casual surfing a lot less fun. You'll have to sign up and verify your identity for every single page you visit.

Agreed. There's very little in this article to acknowledge the rights of adults and sex workers to create and view pornography, or to acknowledge that sexuality is a healthy and necessary part of life for both men and women. It sounds

Read the link a bit above this one about how the ACLU is praising this group. Free speech can be problematic in this age of disinformation and media manipulation, but it's also under attack from the left. FIRE seems non-partisan and si

Bottom line, this was not genuine disruption, simply the expressing of unpopular opinions by single individuals out loud. In the main case discussed, nobody even heard the opinion except the few people nearby in the crowd, and apparently so

Yeah, well, that's just one study, man. The "benefits" of psychedelics have always been hard to quantify. Yet people persist in consuming them. For thousands of years. Is all of that a placebo effect? My personal experience o

It would be interesting to see an analysis of the effect of Russia's economic problems, now and in the future, on the global economy; and in turn, the resulting effect on the US economy. Not that I'm against the sanctions, at all.

I'm not a chemist, or a scientist of any sort, but isn't this reinventing the wheel? I thought that gas chromatographs were the standard way of evaluating the amount of capsaicin in peppers, leading to the Scoville rating. Perhaps

This is the new Republican strategy. If you lose an election, claim it's illegitimate. Details don't matter, there must have been some kind of fraud or the Republican would have won. Ipso facto. Quod erat demonstrandum. Cave canem

Clint Eastwood knows how to play one character, and he played that same character in all of his movies. Other than that, I don't think he has any credibility at all, especially regarding what's "critical for the planet."

I've never heard of someone being poisoned by touching a napkin. Is there some substance that can be absorbed through the skin so quickly? Sounds like something in a murder mystery or sci-fi story.

Irony is an intellectual concept. These fundies aren't operating from an intellectual point of view. They're simply regurgitating lines that they've been fed from the pulpit and right-wing media, and they're stoked up on

I disagree with Rowling about gender, and think she was disingenuous for posting her views online when she undoubtedly knew they'd be unpopular. But I agree very much with this article, the internet is poisonous, and especially to wome

This headline is misleading. The judge approved only 1 request out of more than 20, preventing Musk from going on a fishing expedition. The ruling is seen as unfavorable to Musk, and sends the nessage that the case will be decided on narrow

This does not bode well for Twitter, since their position was that the number of bots was irrelevant, given that Musk waived due diligence. If Musk is allowed to press the issue of bots, the trial could easily veer off from the details of t
