The winning is almost hard to quantify.

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...

For now, be skeptical about this supposed Russian missile hypersonic missile. Ditto their magic antimissile lasers and other recent leaps forward.

Yes, Kremlin is pouring money into R&D; yes, we need to reassess future threats/countermeasures constantly.

But ... /1
Believe it when you see it; they can't even keep an aircraft carrier at sea, and there is damn sure a reason that they are relying on the other lanes of warfare below the line of conflict.

Their conventional capabilities are real. But the scifi smells like Star Wars. /2
Said another way: focus on the tools/tactics threatening us now, because we still don't have a good response to the asymmetric/unconventional/guerrilla stuff and all the shadow warfare. /3

(1) Midterms are around the corner... Gotta say, the waters are changing. Reaction of today’s news is mostly POSITIVE. Even under liberal twitter feeds. They’re losing. Big time.
(2) Liberal celebrities, CNN pundits, Etc... are being chastised in the comments for expressing their views. The people are waking up and realizing they DON’T MATTER. We matter.
(3) the people who break their backs every day, the underdog, the average American. They feel good. I’m watching even hardcore liberal friends and dems, #walkaway. Those who call that a conspiracy theory, are mistaken.

Making America Great Again by exporting our cruelty and racial hatred around the world!
Maybe Israel should separate Palestinian parents from their children, imprison everyone in different locations, then destroy any records as to their whereabouts. #MAGA

I saw George Takei speak last night about his life and career.
A life that has seen Japanese internment camps, the violence that accompanied the civil rights era, the struggle for LGBT recognition and basic dignities.
And a career that saw him offered roles as humiliating stereotypes and having to keep his most important relationships a secret to protect it.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)

Every one of your failures isn't the fault of the Democrats who are a minority in the House, Senate and White House. It's either your fault or the Republican's fault!
And you want to take desperately needed money away from Healthcare, Education, and Social Security. What's more important?
You do realize that our Military is more advanced than the next top 50 countries combined, right? When it comes to education, healthcare and infrastructure we are lagging way behind the rest of the world. Where do we really need the money?
