  • You’ve been watching too many movies.

    The NFL reports came out right after the shooting.

    He shot himself in the chest because he wanted his brain studied.

    No way could anyone put together a conspiracy like this that quickly.

    Moreover, being targeted by a conspiracy would be a Godsend for private military contractors. Trump and the GOP would fall all over themselves allowing them special rights and privileges, and they’d be investigating everyone who’d ever complained about income inequality

    New Yorker here. Yes, it’s possible for a working person to have a great apartment in Manhattan. Either they moved in early and have a rent subsidized/controlled place, or they won an apartment lottery in a new building.

    The thing that’s most unrealistic is when you see empty parking spaces any where.


  • Tech bro Libertarians love the novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” by Robert A. Heinlein.

    One plot line in the book is that the main computer for the Lunar penal colonies achieves self awareness. A computer repair man discovers that the HOLMES computer is starting to tell itself jokes and gives it the name ‘Mycroft’ after Mycroft Holmes.

    Later, Mycroft meets a woman and creates a female personality, Michelle.

    It’s a pretty good book.
