Today was a net loss in terms of saving the republic -- but I did build a small robot that will probably contribute to its downfall.
My niece and nephew have too many pets -- and I think this lizard is mooning me
My nephew has named the robot Dizzy Dave and given him a face, this bringing us one step closer to the robot apocalypse

No really, some genius has a line of meal replacement products called Soylent.

... At least there isn't a green one, I guess?
Oh, but don't worry -- it includes genetically engineered products!
Agh you may as well eat styrofoam, it's about as natural

I spent 55 hrs rewatching Battlestar Galactica this wk, & had deeper thoughts on AI/nature of consciousness/why we think of the divine, resistance techniques/guerrilla warfare, civil-military relations, representative govt/social stratification -- than I get from year of TV news
The spinoff needed (cc @RonDMoore) is how the idea of God evolved in the centurions, & what happened to them. The whole series should be without speech, as the centurions are.
Would be a good way to upend ideas re science, faith, human, machine, & battle over development of AI.
Also, this, again, x1000

I started watching the last ep without tissues and with cats on me, and that was a big mistake.

@edwardjolmos + @MaryMcDonnell10, thank you for your portrayal of my favorite TV romance, ever

I'm rewatching Battlestar Galactica because man vs machine vs the unexplainable is pretty much the philosophy we need right now.
The exchange at the beginning between the military and civilian leaders re: the inherent evil vs benefit of networked computers/AI = 2018
Adama, as if speaking to 2018 tech companies: "When we fought the cylons, we did it to save ourselves from extinction. But we never answered the question why. Why are we as a people worth saving? ... We refuse to accept the responsibility for anything that we've done...

President Trump is about to deliver a speech in Mosinee, Wisconsin. Follow me for a video thread.
Here we go
Trump begins by trying to play unifier-in-chief.

"Those engaged in the political arena must stop treating political opponents as being morally defective... We should not mob people in public spaces or destroy public property."

But he then attacks the media for "false attacks."

#brexit, #language, #mathematics, #pseudoscience, #rhetoric, #style

Brand-new and remarkable: #today, in a speech before #industry-representatives, chancellor Angela #Merkel used an old-fashioned, and,I think, INAPPROPRIATE,mathematical term to describe the #Brexit discussions..
.. in the #UK.

On 20180925, 9:50 CET, (cf. bdi.eu/der-bdi/termin…), chancellor Merkel said the following: "Wesentlich hängt es natürlich auch davon ab, was Großbritannien denn wirklich möchte. Auch da ist ja die Diskussion nicht so ganz eineindeutig [sic],
und, das muss ich..
.. allerdings sagen: Man kann nicht zum Binnenmarkt gehören, wenn man in EINEM Teil nur zum Binnenmarkt gehören will, aber in drei ANDEREN Teilen nicht zum Binnenmarkt gehört, und da müssen wir verschiedene, äh, vernünftige Wege [ rest drowned out by applause ]."

Right now, over 40,000 Muslims from ~100 nations are holding a massive 3-day Islamic peace conference in Germany
•It’s open to ALL people
•I’m willing to bet this tweet is the first you heard
•Share w/ppl who think us Muslims don’t exemplify our faith with love
#JalsaGermany
So #JalsaGermany just concluded with 41,000+ Muslims from 90+ nations. Here are some gems media largely missed, that I feel compelled to share with you.

1. The Khalifa called out the anti-Muslim & anti-Islam animus behind Europe’s immigration concerns.
/2
The Khalifa condemned those Muslims who engage in any form of abuse of women, verbal, sexual abuse, or domestic violence

He leaves no excuse for such reprehensible behavior & reminded everyone that Islam has mandated exceptionally strong punishments for rapists

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

1) This is my #Qanon proofs thread—a series of posts by Q with related news articles and Twitter posts.

This thread will allow you to compare selected posts by Q to see if his (or her) claims are true.
2) #Qanon posts can be found here: qanon.pub
3) I've done my best to research #Qanon posts, relevant articles and twitter posts for accuracy. In preparing this thread, I discarded posts that others claimed as proofs because, under close inspection, the claims made by the posters were found to be incorrect.
