I saw her sing once with Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth) playing guitar, and it a transcendent experience for me, personally. I'd heard her singing before on a recording and I'd fo…

I think it was less the original Zelda than it was Link's Awakening that had the Lynch influence, specifically influence by Twin Peaks https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/12/fea…

I dunno, go look at Barack Obama, then look at pictures of his parents, and tell me which group he belongs to.

As others have mentioned, Bing now shows some results for 'tank man' with tanks and men but no Tiananmen square photo (DDG had the same image results, btw). 'Tank man China' had no…

I'm not one of your friends, and I'm hardly a musician, but I agree that Miles' second quintet is indeed unrivaled in jazz. All of the music they made is sublime, but my favorites …

I took all of the anti-fb steps (removed the app, deleted IG account, logged out of the fb app on my phone and desktop browsers), but I couldn't bring myself to actually delete my …

I won't pretend to understand the answer well enough to give a clear answer. Instead I'll highly recommend an illustrated version of Stephen Hawking's Brief History of Time to dig …

I'm confused about how you got to your first point. You cited figures from the survey paper that show a spike at 0% genetic (meaning that a bunch of the people surveyed think there…

While the quote you pulled from that survey seems to contradict what Dr. Collins said in his statement, the two sentences before that one seem more problematic for the idea that th…

'Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, said that most experts on intelligence “consider any black-white differences in I.Q. testing to arise prima…

He never actually sold it [0]; a billionaire just paid him some cash instead and Watson got to keep his prize. [0] https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/dec/09/russian-bill...

Uh, oops, right. I hadn't read tfa.

I dunno, after having had a front row seat to more than one vaginal birth I'd say that it's implausible to suggest that microbes aren't being transferred (via "vagina juice" and th…

Conflating microbiome interests with antivax mania doesn't make any sense to me, and I agree that "crunchy Karen" is a dismissive sexist tropE, especially in this context. Do any o…

Michael Pollan wrote [1] about an evolutionary biologist who did this exact thing after his daughter was born via cesarian. [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/19/magazine/say-hell…

Instead of wipes, I take a small bunch of tp and just wet it from the faucet before going into the stall. Not as problematic as the wipe, flushable, and cleans better than the dry …

That's his brand, but I am not convinced that he lives up to that standard. Dude lacks intellectual humility big time, and seems to support scientific racism[0]. [0]: https://samha…

Chicago 1: Segregation. The black and brown people are all concentrated in the South and West sides, along with most of the violent crime. Despicable and sad. 2: Lack of nature nea…

I went to Gorongosa for a field biology course in 2016, and it was absolutely amazing. Greg Carr gave a talk to us about the park and it's mission, and it seems like they're really…

I'd recommend reading the novel; it's a wonderful read. Clarke wrote it alongside the screenplay (which he cowrote with Kubrick), and it helps clarify some of the more mystical hap…

If you're going to defend this congressman and Equifax, at least lose the weasel words prepending your defense. Getting some slimy congressman to introduce legislation to preemptiv…
