The story goes that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the second draft of “Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde” in less than a week while buzzing on cocaine. The Rationalists just write obnoxious blog posts.

Apparently newspapers are starting to get rid of mugshot galleries, so he might be lucky.
The combination of these two things is jarring because heroin is a Big Kid drug, not a prestige drug, and how, of course, could a neuroscientist smoke heroin?
Unlike this guy, I have no problem understanding that smart people sometimes like to do stupid things. There are a lot of doctors who smoke. This is not because they know tobacco is secretly good for you.
I can only assume the vibes were rancid
They did actually collaborate on Venus Fly, but that was before Grimes gave in the allure of power.
It was Jann Wenner, former Rolling Stone owner/editor, who said that he only wanted to write about “philosophers of rock ’n’ roll” for a book he wrote called “The Masters”.
You know, Joni was not a philosopher of rock ’n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock.
I recently got The Secret Public on CD and spent yesterday evening listening to it. Plenty of interesting LGBT+ history and there are some really great songs on there - the 60s songs really appeal to me, especially the girl groups, but there’s also some good tough 70s funk and disco.
I don’t know if I’ve been listening to anything that’s relevant to Sneer Club.
I don’t make the rules, so you’d have to consult whoever does make the rules. I’m not really sure who that is though
Anyone who buys an island is evil sorry I don’t make the rules
In January, Humane laid off about 10 employees. A month later, a senior software engineer was let go after she questioned whether the Ai Pin would be ready by April. In a company meeting after the dismissal, Mr. Chaudhri and Ms. Bongiorno said the employee had violated policy by talking negatively about Humane, two attendees said.
Wow, these people have not planned anything at all. They’re going to homeschool all 7+ kids? And go into politics, a job that infamously has long, unsociable hours?
They bought this house and the one next door for $575,000; they allow their neighbours to live in the second house rent free, in exchange for childcare.
Seems normal !
This is literally the same conversation therapy approach they use against gay people lol* the idea is that people believe they’re gay because they are insecure about not being traditionally masculine or feminine enough (usually due to a bad relationship with their parents) and if they just learn how to be masc enough/fem enough then they’ll be able to be heterosexual.
*kill me now
“If you zoom in on an upward trend, it looks smaller. I am very smart. A genius, even”
it hasn’t but it has been promoted as a predictor of success in education, work and life. The Bell Curve famously claimed that higher IQ people were more likely to finish education, stay in work, stay out of prison and stay married.
Eurgh!
