Just wanted to mention that I'm seeing some divergence between the way local communities appear here on awful.systems and how they appear on other lemmy sites. For instance, on lemmy.world, here are the top 7 posts on sneerclub:

• Keira Haven's Box of Rocks series
• “Here’s the deal,” the Urbit crew heard the No Agency guy say. “You give me back those twenty hats, I give you back your five thousand dollars, and I never fucking talk to you again.”
• a normal journalist meets the Urbit nerds, who repeatedly threaten her with the wrath of Thiel (2022)
• SneerClub Classic: Big Yud’s Mad Men Cosplay
• My friend with amnesia remembers the Basilik
• I will never get over how the pretty girl in the photo attached is LITERALLY Roko of the Basilisk’s example of the bad ending for humanity
• Birdsite thread comparing EA to a literal cult

Of these, only 3 are available (to me) on awful.systems. I don't see any posts on sneerclub that have failed to show up on lemmy.world.

EDIT: Switching to "NEW" from "ACTIVE" caused the missing posts to show up. The "Active" setting seems to behave as a pretty strong filter on awful.systems, but it's not as strong on lemmy.world.

EDIT #2: I take it back, even after switching to "New", only some of the missing posts showed up.

"Fat people disgust me, but drugs are cool."

If Books Could Kill is great. I believe the first podcast was about Freakonomics, another one of those incredibly popular books based on behavioral economics. They took it apart.

I was just about over my withdrawal symptoms from reddit, and now this comes along. Thanks a lot, you bastards.

Yeah, Behe's one of the leading lights (dimmest bulbs?) of the so-called "Intelligent Design" movement: a molecular biologist who knows just enough molecular biology to construct strawmen arguments about evolution. Siskind being impressed by him tells me everything I need to know about Siskind's susceptibility to truly stupid ideas.
