lol NBC is running a package during the Derby that’s just “horses. They’re cool.”

Trying to figure out if, as a Rhode Islander by way of Louisville, I am obligated to root FOR Great White in the Derby or AGAINST him

richard dawkins has always had AI psychosis, it just took till now for the tech to catch up

yo listen up here's a story about a little guy that lives in a blue world

In “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” the guy running the equipment that enables musical communication between humans and aliens is the real DARPA scientist who created MIDI. He was setting up the equipment for the scene and Spielberg cast him on the spot to essentially play himself
