Paul Simon > Bob Dylan.
Context:
Like Bob Dylan ever did something as good as Graceland lmao.
It's not sarcasm. I'm trolling a bit because I certainly don't hate Bob Dylan, but I'm irked at the idea that a Dylan snob would dismiss Paul Simon like this.

The walkback of the Walensky's comments about reinfection for vaccinated people is like a Snopes fact check of AOC. All they walk back is the idea that no vaccinated person will get reinfected ever. But % is never zero, so they're debunking a strawman. 1/5 nytimes.com/2021/04/01/hea…
Here's what Walensky says and how the Times categorizes it. The Times also suggests that the walk back was about political optics. 2/5
Also note the very narrow window of risk that even the "other side" acknowledges exist. "It's maybe possible that they can potentially perhaps in some situations transmit it. We don't know literally everything yet." 3/5

Ultimately this is my read on Berenson: He acts like a disseminator of factual information, but I don't think I've ever seen him correct previous statements or update information he got wrong or highlight in great detail studies that contradict his general stance. 1/3
And let's be honest here - EVERYONE has gotten at least some stuff wrong at some point during the past 13 months. If someone is in the specific habit of shrugging at counter data because you think your job is to be the avatar of vaccine skeptics, you aren't trustworthy. 2/3
And hey, maybe I'm wrong. I don't follow his stuff closely, but if he were a straight shooter there would be a lot of examples of him doing long tweet threads on the abundant studies and evidence that the vaccines are safe and admitting that stories he shared were wrong. 3/3

Wow Godzilla vs Kong with the full on Evangelion reference.
And the Junkie XL score is pretty great.
Definitely the most fun monsterverse movie. The cast of characters was kinda goofy and felt like an anime cast. The dumb plot was entertaining and fun. And the CGI is out of control good. Just gorgeous in 4k. Yeah, I kinda liked it haha

I prefer Pro-Tools or even Cubase as my DAW but come on, man - Reason is the shit.
You're welcome, the 25 people who got that.
Throwback to, no fake, the hardest I have ever laughed at any parody headline ever. It was one of those "laugh until you are in physical pain" moments. thehardtimes.net/culture/ben-sh…

The Snyder Cut was alright. At least it was a movie where things that happened happened for reasons that you understood and characters got some time to breathe. You could still shave some time off of it just by cutting some gratuities like the entire Norwegian folk song.
I think Snyder always has ideas on visualizing comic book ideas that you don't really see elsewhere. Cyborg's memories and how he interfaces with global networks was very comic booky and unique.
Oh and it's a shame Leto wasn't allowed to play this Joker. The whole ending part was pretty cool and I liked what that would have set up for the future. Oh well.

There's a serious ethical discussion regarding Body Dysmorphic Disorder and people who want a limb amputated, for instance, but I don't see this as any different than getting your breasts enlarged, or a nose job, or liposuction. It's an elective cosmetic procedure.
Weird question that isn't remotely related to this discussion.
I watched a documentary about this. It's virtually impossible to find a doctor willing to do it. Many of them damage the limb to force an amputation. Guy kept his leg in a bucket of dry ice until they had to remove it.
