It was discussed chapter by chapter. And we watched the movie version after for good measure.

That was 5th grade for me. I still wonder what that teacher was thinking.

Lyndon LaRouche. I'd occasionally run across a few of his minions out leafletting and they oozed that culty wacko vibe.

Well it's a series, but Three body problem. It should have been right up my alley, but I got so tired of every decision by every character being stupid that I couldn't be bothered to read the last fifty pages of the last book.

Even if I charitably assumed the point of the book was to show that people are weak and stupid, the series was such a ham-handed strawman as to undercut its own commentary. And even worse, it had just enough interesting ideas to lead me to believe it was going somewhere worthwhile, but it never did.

It's been years and I'm still pissed off that I wasted a week on it.

As I understand the caption, this is actually the most commonly googled dream type. I'd expect this is not actually the most common dream type per country, because the most common experiences aren't worth investigating.

maybe it's more like "type of dream that most commonly confuses and disturbs people in a given culture".

The paper explicitly states that they are calling ChatGPT "bullshit" in the Frankfurtian sense and they cite "On Bullshit" as the source for that definition. It's right there in the introduction.

You'd know this if you had read the paper or even checked whether your statement were true. So either you read it and then lied deliberately, or you didn't read the paper nor actually care about the truth value of your own statement, rendering your comment itself bullshit in the Frankfurtian sense.

You sound like a guy who knows which part of a warplane to reinforce.

There's something delightful about the meme not even getting her name right.

It's not necessary. That is why this cartoon has them.

This artist makes cartoons that are parodies of over-labelled political cartoons. He satirizes by imitating his target's crappy form.

It takes the Africa-inspired sound of the original and dials it up to 11. Highlights are "The great curve" and "Listening Wind", but it's all really good.
