Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Zohran Mamdani was polling at 1% when he entered the NYC mayoral race. He had the NY Times telling people *not to even rank him on their ballots.* The leaders in his own party wouldn't endorse him. It is in fact a politician's job to motivate people to vote & hire people who feel the same obligation

I think it's specious to say Harris would have been the same but it's ridiculous and offensive to spend so much time browbeating ten imaginary leftists as somehow responsible for everything rather than hold the candidate & political apparatus accountable for their bad positions & worse strategy

No no no, we've had centuries of discussion about how human consciousness works. YOU, with your interloping technology, have to make the case to US. I know you can't, you're a grifter, not a philosopher, but feel free to give it a go.

By moving towards homogenisation - of thoughts, ideas, style - we're making it easier for slop to replace us.

Agreed. I've been thinking about this in terms of human interaction also, how we're moving towards a homogenised "consensus" online persona, where everyone expresses the same handful of ideas in precisely the same way.

Robin and Marian (1976) was too obviously not filmed in Britain and I can't get past it. Hard black shadows and grass burnt to yellow

The BBC made exactly this mistake with their Robin Hood show a few years ago. Why the hell are you filming in Spain - IT IS NOT LUSH THERE AND THE SUN IS TOO BRIGHT
