It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 30 years since Babylon 5 first premiered. Back then, it was the highlight of my week—I couldn’t wait to get home from work just to watch it. For me, Babylon 5 stood shoulder to shoulder with classics like Doctor Who, Tom and Jerry, and The Magic Roundabout...

“Want to master meditation? Watch this video—and don’t forget to pick up the guy’s book!” "The Power of Now"

Donald Hoffman may have uncovered “god”—with a small g. Check out the video at the 16‑minute mark for that discussion, and at the 40‑minute mark for his thoughts on the nature of consciousness. He argues that consciousness itself has no attributes that would allow it to evolve, meaning the...

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-elon-musk-super-stressed-twitter-employees/ Rumman Chowdhury, a director on Twitter’s AI research team, recently described Twitter as having a “beautiful culture of constructive criticism.” Honestly, you couldn’t make it up. Constructive criticism—unless, of...

The Texas governor is organizing buses to transport the influx of migrants directly to the steps of the Capitol—right to President Biden’s doorstep. What a move!(See the last part of the video, around the 5‑minute mark.)

In this video clip, a person identifies as a woman and expects to be treated as such. https://youtube.com/shorts/RN-6MeAwuYg?feature=share The issue raised is that, as has happened in other cases, someone who was born male could enter a women’s event—say swimming—win, and take the prize. In...

I was listening to a podcast recently and heard something deeply disturbing about the Catholic priests involved in child abuse cases. It wasn’t just the abuse itself—there was an even more insidious layer. Some priests reportedly took confessions from children and then used those private...

FSD = Full Self Driving I came across an article recently that sparked a flash of inspiration. It was about drones becoming harder to detect, and how researchers may have found an unlikely solution to improve detection ranges...

Simplifying English for The Americans | Michael McIntyre

Jordan Peterson often draws on the Bible in his lectures, and his perspective has reshaped the way I view this ancient text. When I was younger, I dismissed it as little more than a tool used by men to control society. Now, I see it differently: a collection of humanity’s hard‑won wisdom...

“While searching for a spot where Americans and Brits could meet, Google suggested this halfway point between the USA and UK. Looks freezing—too cold even for a Brit!”...

I used a clickbait title because I came across this video clip, and I’m assuming it’s a Democrat speaking—possibly criticizing Biden. I think it’s recent, but I’m not entirely sure. So, is my assumption correct? Are Democrats starting to get frustrated with Biden and openly voicing it...

I genuinely don’t want to offend anyone, but I’m confused about the language we’re supposed to use. For example, is it better to simply ask “Are you gay?” rather than using more indirect or awkward phrasing? It sometimes feels like the terminology keeps shifting, and that can make conversations...

This is it, folks—the controversy around transgender participation is now playing out in the boxing ring. And the defense of “weight category”? That feels like a flimsy, uninformed argument. https://youtube.com/shorts/yhAjuoYp0ZQ?feature=share

Really interesting article on solar panels! It looks like, in a few years, they’ll get a significant boost in efficiency thanks to a clever technique that converts previously unusable wavelengths into usable ones. From what I gathered, this new layer that enhances performance might even be...

Chris (CJ London) and I regularly meet up for a pint and a chat. We’re planning another get‑together and are both free between 8th and 14th February. The exact date and time will be confirmed closer to the week. Anyone’s welcome to join us—just drop a note in this thread and we’ll take it from...

Over the past few years, I’ve learned a great deal from Dr. Jordan Peterson. One of the key insights is that much of our thinking and behavior is shaped by instinct. These instincts aren’t just uniquely human—they trace back through the evolutionary chain, not only to mammals but all the way to...
