Eric Kaplan and Tao Ruspoli ask about how entertainment may or may not be "true". Tao substitutes for Taylor for the next several episodes. We've also just introduced video to the podcast! Let us know what you think. open.spotify.com/episode/1HV…

They're making the extremely arrogant assumption that nobody owns more than 1 prop and also that they don't have their own holiday playlists going. What if I want to leave the animated ghost cloche running all the time without hearing the same 30 second loop? what then??

January 18th, 1913, is the birthday of American science fiction novelist Alfred Bester (The Stars My Destination), who once wrote: “Don't ask the world to stop moving because you have doubts.”

Do astronauts really need to do so many experiments in space. I think they’re just messing around

The film “Yesterday” but for philosophy where everyone forgets the work of Saul Kripke and a struggling contingently employed philosopher becomes rich and famous by telling everyone that it’s necessary that water is H2O.

I made a thing today: turned a bucket into a stream-bottom viewer so I can search for benthic invertebrates. Especially looking forward to finding some native freshwater mussels.

i took a quiz that said the fictional character I am is Sherlock Holmes, and sure, but how did asking me twice what my favorite dessert was and me answering twice "icecream" help them make that determination?

Why I think everyone is in some sense pro-choice: Because if they truly believed that abortion was the murder of an innocent life, they would push for a complete ban after conception. There would certainly be no time limits or exceptions. And the full extent of the law would be deployed against women and doctors who engage in abortion. I think you can count the people who would push for this on one hand. In reality, the so-called pro-life groups are rallying around a limit that would leave 93 percent of abortions legal. This is why I hardly ever wade into this issue. Because it’s an utterly dishonest debate. It’s bullshit.

There are a lot of reasons someone would have an abortion later in pregnancy, and all of them are none of your fucking business.

Harris calls abortion bans “immoral.” This is a fact.
