ROBOCOP!! The best movie of the 1980s. Maybe even the 1990s. 🪐📚 #filmsky 📽️

I guess Google wants a taste of that sweet sweet Backrooms money! 📽️ #filmsky

"Write a story that will give a few bigots the jolt they need. Write a story that will open the eyes of the unconsciously bigoted." Exploration Log 14: Anti-Racism in Chandler Davis’ “Stereotypes Are Dangerous” (1950) sciencefictionruminations.com/2026/06/21/e... #scifi #sciencefiction

I suspect the other 2 are just too scared to tell their therapists about it.

A cool video about robots in SF! 🪐📚🪐

new video essay up for the patrons now burnstheory.com/posts/critic...

Someone needs to explain the stock market to me. Much confusions, numbers no make sense.

Everybody loves Asimov's robots, he came up with the three laws, right? But have you ever wondered what came before? This video talks about some of Asimov's inspiration for his robot series. 🪐📚 #sciencefiction #booktube

Turns out there's more to color theory than just picking opposite colors on the color wheel.

I wonder if all book titles are decided this way. (From James Gunn's book on Isaac Asimov, on choosing the title of I, Robot). 📚🪐. 📚💙

The money was always there for the good things.

Finally, everything was so loosey-goosey before.

Someone tried to argue with me the other day that Star Trek was mostly Kirk sleeping around with strange alien women. Granted, there's a lot of that, but there's so much more. #startrek #TOS #hornyKirk

What shall we do about social media?

"Anthropic is the clean coal of AI. And clean coal doesn't exist" - Karen Hao speaking at Hay yesterday.

Is it just me, or has the word "bespoke" made a relatively sudden appearance in everyone's vocabulary?

AI boosters claim that LLMs are the future of software development. But that could not be further from the truth. LLMs are the apotheosis of a paradigm 40 years in the making: the tech industry assigns you problems and then sells you the solutions. But that world is now coming apart at the seams.

Ignore the toy, play with the box instead.

Have we side stepped the worst climate scenario? What about the best-case-scenarios slipping through our fingers? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9sJ...

It’s actually so funny to see Helen of Troy upset thousands of angry men in 2026 in the exact same way she did back in antiquity.

The last part resonates with me. The creative process is meaningless without the hardship, and it's that experience that makes me appreciate the creative output of others.

I wonder if Ivermectin has ever been recommended for TDS.

My new movie review. It's zombies baby, zombies!

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only. Star Trek: TOS Babylon 5 Community Peep Show Cheers Archer Silicon Valley Firefly Death Note Black Adder Monty Python's Flying Circus Chernobyl Utopia (UK) The IT Crowd Cowboy Bebop

Hey, I made a video about that (sort of).

The list of worthwhile zombie movies before George A Romero is embarrassingly short. I Walked With a Zombie (Jacques Tourneur, 1943) is one of the few that deserves mentioning.

Post surgery blues.

One food coma after another

Writing first drafts (yt script, paper, story, whatever) is one of my favorite activities. Editing that first draft is one of my least favorite activities. Therein lies the problem.

I talk with Costanza (The Strange Loop) about the effects of AI in education.

Folks, I give you the New York Times

This made my day (albeit a day late!)

RFK Jr. did not come up with idea that diet is important to health. This has been promoted for decades, including, famously, by Michelle Obama. In fact, he doesn’t even believe it himself. If he did he’d be busy making sure kids in the U.S. had enough to eat, instead of cutting food benefits.

I have never wavered in my position that there can be no compromise with RFK Jr. He is a dangerous fraud who has caused incalculable damage to public health. It’s extremely disappointing that the President of the American Medical Association was doing a photo op with RFK Jr. this morning.

I have a strong suspicion that LinkedIn is turning people into sociopaths.

Love reading the genius mind of Andrej Karpathy

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

I talk about the use of "sci-fi" as an abbreviation for science fiction with another youtuber!

(A Libertarian Walks into a Bear): I think the author was having some fun here....

I hope people are not falling for the myth of the "regretful Trump voter". It's just that, a myth. It's also a democrat fantasy, hoping they'll get the voters back by doing nothing and changing nothing. Right up there with the myth of the "persuadable moderate".

In this year's OSCARS I mostly cared for the International category because any of the nominees would have been worthy winners... except for the one film that actually won. Like literally, there were 4 masterpieces in that category... and Sentimental Value.

Interesting quote from "Science Fiction in the 20th Century" by Edward James.

AI in science. I think a lot of it has already been said, but why not say it one more time.

Somehow stumbled into this tweet lol. This is the same guy who few weeks ago published an article in Nature about how chatgpt lost all his work. I feel like the word "assisted" does a lot of heavy lifting there.

AI in science. I think a lot of it has already been said, but why not say it one more time.

I watched a couple of YouTube videos on the AI bubble and AI hype, and now my entire front page is full of podcast that feature tech bros shilling for AI. I've made a huge mistake. 🤦‍♂️

My favorite SF movies of the past year.
