Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” is set today, August 4th, 2026: thephilosopher.net/bredberi/wp-...

Yeah BMWs are famously low maintenance and hold their value well, unlike a Toyota Camry

If you ever find yourself arguing with a person who believes in the “simulation hypothesis”, remind them the only way it could agree with hard physics constraints is the plot of the smash hit 1999 film The Matrix, and they’re just describing that you with extra steps. They get super mad about that!

The latest drama at Bayreuth: the production of Gotterdammerung got booed due to its baffling AI-generated background collage consisting of prior Ring performances, pictures of Helmut Kohl, and the 9/11 attacks. (Note that Wagner fans are a pretty irascible lot and they love booing modern stagings)

Really doesn’t bode well that a bunch of people on here and Twitter are looking at the latest Spanish-Moroccan border flare up and going “Israel must be secretly orchestrating this”

Zero stars for the Odyssey, unredeemable Nolanslop. They literally turned to the camera at the end and were like “I fear our Linear A writing system will never be deciphered due to my actions in this film, which is about how the gods don’t exist and are actually a figment of my guilty conscience”

Obviously now that it’s massive headline news a bunch of people who know nothing about the situation will comment stupid things about it (esp because it’s AI related) but the Leopold blowup is quite shocking to basically every professional investor who was following him for several reasons:

Zoomer Charlie Munger be like: "Fr there's only three ways a shawty can get Kirked: CBD soda, femboys, and leverage no cap"

JESUS H. CHRIST

Academics need to be like 20% less neurotic about the fact that great art is usually extremely reactionary. It’s fine to like it anyways, it’s great for a reason!

I had a beer tonight for a change, to get in touch with the common man. The common man should consider locking in so they can drink Rayas instead, this shit sucks

This is a very quarter baked idea but it feels like it would make way more sense to Sovietmaxx with government owned restaurants/food halls instead of grocery stores. You get far more significant economies of scale, less food waste, more time savings for poor people who don’t have time to cook etc.
