There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov (1980)

    Not like I could ever afford one, but I wanted the #Chevy #Corvette #C7 since I first saw it. Then the #C8 came out and blew my mind… and costs even more! Jason Cammisa & Randy Pobst run down the reasons why the C8 is a beast. Great film. #cars www.youtube.com/watch

    LOLZ. Yes. Very much. #ElonMusk is not a genius. And “fake it ‘til you make it” isn’t magic. He had money, made more money, and hired the right people. Big whoop. Or, as this article puts it, he’s not Tony Stark but Michael Scott #capitalism #tesla #tech www.thebulwark.com/p/elon-mu…

    IAPWE won't leave us alone!

    Auto-generated description: A payment receipt shows a $3.99 USD transaction for a Supporter Membership to IAPWE.

    We are being harassed by the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors, also known as IAPWE. We signed up for memberships a few years ago, then cancelled after our first year. We found no benefit to the membership. Now, despite cancelling everything we could find on PayPal, speaking with the credit card servicer who can do nothing, and emailing IAPWE over and over and over again, they continue to charge us.

    We both subscribed using PayPal, and we’ve no clue how they got our card details to charge us directly! I’m going to assume they can see all those details in the PayPal dashboard, which is frightening. The image above is a receipt from earlier this year, but the charges have not stopped.

    The WORST Anime of ALL TIME - 10th Anniversary: The Complete List

    Auto-generated description: A collage of animated characters with a central figure, surrounded by a fiery background and the text Mother's Basement.

    Part of the payment I must make to Satan to save my soul from eternal damnation is to prepare a detailed listing of all anime that Geoff lists in his Mother’s Basement videos on YouTube. Just kidding. I do it because I love it and want to help peeps retain the font of knowledge that Geoff shares with us in his various videos. Today’s video is a comprehensive breakdown of the ten worst anime of all time. Yes, the worst of the worst or the animated equivalent of emotional torture.

    NOTE: This is a list of anime series to AVOID. These shows are NOT like the Hottest Trash which you can watch because sometimes bad == good. So, please don’t watch these, unless you’re a sadist… or a masochist who wishes to inflict …
