Oz is the perfect series to show this off and I'm delighted to see others still going deep into the lore, which is so rich and expansive. Once you consider how he also weaved in other parts of his bibliography into Oz, it's a wonderfully huge universe. In my opinion, Hollywood has never come close to capturing the true spirit of the books.

Interesting! I just built aperiodicgenerator.com to do this with aperiodic monotiles. Would love some feedback!

She can hate the things you do and still love who you are. Shining your light where it's cold and dark is the only way to make the darkness go away. Hope this helps

So as he is quoted at the top "Something I talked about like 15 times, six, seven, eight years ago." This appears to be true when he said it, judging from the rest of the site's content. He offered consistent reasons for his (wrong) opinion. And when he said, "I mean, how do I get a fair trial with stuff like this?", pretty valid given the article he's referencing. Sorry, but I don't see defamation here. And the un-doctored video of the dad is ODD enough to say so on the radio. Don't take this as defending him (because I do believe he's wrong) but I find everything he said to be allowable in an open, free society. And sorry, I don't find the parents to be harmed to the tune of a $B. That all said, however, as a Tim Heidecker fan, I'm pretty happy at the outcome. Here I'll say what neither side will say: Alex is the frontman for the "cabal" (he admits his dad was in DARPA and Intelligence). His job is to say their deeds out loud (which is part of their belief system) in such a way that few people trust. I may be wrong, so sue me for a billion dollars why don't you.

Yes. The elderly people in my family are falling into watching AI-generated videos which a human never touched before getting views. Grandpa is watching AI-generated stories of puppies saving lives (I had to break it to him, none of these are real) -- just search "puppy saves baby" to see an endless stream of slop. Mom is watching videos from a Galactic Light Federation which she says raise her vibration, and she doesn't believe these are AI. It's tragic, such a waste.

It's the morning, and there is no coffee and there is no way to get coffee

Right! So it's worse than altering their behavior, it causes physical sexual changes

When Alex Jones' auction is on the top of HN, but his most famous claim is right there with it -- Atrazine in the water turning the frogs gay

As a test, I input a2b2. It interpretted that as a^2xb^2 which is fine but it kept pronouncing "A squared" as "a square" (more phonetically, "uh square")

For a tool meant to enlighten, hearing "a square be square" was confusing.

The subject of a well done doc from 2005 (https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0486585/trivia/?item=tr1027526), which included Penn Jilette, Pat Boone, Ron Jeremy, Hunter S Thompson's final appearance, and more.

Is this the death of the Sapir-Whorf theory?
