The moral of the story is: no rusty banal or shitty memory is banal or shitty enough, for these postmodern kids nowadays to NOT commoditize it as “nostalgia”. EXACTLY like their boomer parents with their own rusty banal or shitty items in their memory bank.
“I look around me, and the horizon seems to be at the same distance everywhere I look, therefore it must be obvious: I am at the center of the Universe.”
Damn, they got to him before he could get it out.
Curse you, lizard overlords!
Orange-shooting Man!
The Battle Of The World Wars Two has begun!
Here’s a strange idea that just occurred to me, to further push YIMBY-ism:
Make electricity free for all those who live within a certain radius of the solar arrays.
You were expecting the storm god of the Sinai desert, maybe?
…and thusly did he speed down by the banks of the sacred River Tigris in his mighty chariot.
He might have won the very first Nobel Prize, had he not passed away just a few years prior, and much too young, wasn’t he in his late-30s or early-40s?
In fact, I believe that had Hertz remained alive and won his prize, the Nobel Committee would not have felt obliged to give it to Marconi a few years later.
Marconi was a back-stabbing asshole who became one of the wealthiest men in the world by abusing the gentlemanly trust of others, and coasting on someone else’s technology - particularly the way crystals oscillate, and some of them serve nicely as a sort of “translation point” between electromagnetic waves and the physical apparatus that transmits and/or receives the signal.
Pray with me.

Say super geniuses who’ve figured out how not to blame their own mediocre self-centered inertia.
If Democracy has indeed failed in the US, it is because of soundbite-driven, intellectually lazy and dishonest about it, holier than thou, lazy, impatient and easily-angered nonvoters, as easily manipulable as the rabid, bigoted right wing.
Some of these fellows are packin’ some serious heat!
Euler and Gauss… the lads.
Soiled adult diaper with a hint of talcum.
I didn’t care, until it happened to me! TO ME!!!
Some human monkeys will reach for higher goals, like knowledge and/or a truer sense of community to what we have.
Some human monkeys will get mesmerized by shiny bling, which on an intellectual level is an equivalent to rubbing feces on themselves and flashing their teeth.
There’s a painting from WWI, done by a German artist, can’t remember the name, but it’s like a portrait of your generic military general. You cannot see the body nor the face, it’s all covered in hundreds of meaningless badges and medals.
We still see this bullshit today in any official picture from a Pyongyang parade, just look at the generals standing beside the “dear leader” or whatever they call him.
These stunted mindless grunts on the airplane are a reflection of man’s failure to transcend the goddamned swamp from which we came.
A ball, however tiny, has 3 dimensions, it has a surface that moves around a mathematical point at the center of the sphere.
A point of zero dimensions has no diameter nor perimeter, no surface with which to spin. Yet when influenced by a magnetic field, a point-like indivisible particle behaves as if it does spin.
As Chief Brody might say, we’re gonna need a bigger math!
How about imaginary numbers and the complex plane?
Now add the Uncertainty Principle, just for shits ‘n’ giggles!
Probability space! Probability amplitudes and polarizations!
Is this LOSS?
Loss of the symmetric crystal structure!
