Why is FoxNews and its self-admitted liars still shown in any DOD facility or other government office where a military leader or government official in a position of authority controls what channel is seen by subordinates?

This is a perfect example of the message I've been giving to educators in keynotes about gaming the past few years: It's not about gamification, it's about valuing gaming and integrating game culture into the school just like we do sports...

It's so weird to me that there was an entire industry of books fifteen years ago listing interesting/popular websites. "This book is a list of all sites that you might find interesting on the Internet!" Mind-boggling.

I’m not sure I’m doing this right. An atheist once asked how certain I was of my beliefs, and I said, “On most days somewhere just north of 51%.”
We need to be safe places for people to wonder and ponder and question.
Even for the good of our own souls.

so we're at the stage where we can trap self-driving cars in salt circles and we're detecting inhuman infiltrators by counting the fingers on their hands I think it's time we stop being judgemental about historical people being superstitious

Anything and anyone that scrambles that, that indicates there’s revelation and truth beyond scripture, that scripture isn’t clear in fact, that God is more inscrutable than a character in a book, that easy answers aren’t within reach—that’s terrifying for someone from that world

Evangelical LGBTQ views are fueled by fear, and fear easily breeds bigotry and hate. But I think secular folks misunderstand the fear. It’s the fear that their entire scriptural framework, which insists on certainty and lacks nuance—lacks faith in fact—will come crashing down.

If layoffs are about over hiring, why am I seeing so many 15+ year Googler friends let go? They’re the ones who built it into a business with $100 billion in cash.
It’s not about over hiring.

Why are ethics questions always like:
"is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?"
And not:
"is it ethical to hoard bread when families are starving?"

McCarthy just lost a sixth vote. There seems to be a pattern: Republicans being unable to acknowledge election results that are unfavorable to them.

I'd rather be around the people who found themselves inventing TCP out of necessity than than being a billionaire startup founder. Being a billionaire startup founder is banal. Having deep impact on humanity and the legacy comes with that is not comparable.
