Steven Pinker on the right? The bloke on left looks familiar, but I can't place him

Krauss (theoretical physicist) is also a known offender. Was made to resign after tens of complaints.
You can find the short article, which -assuming Pinker's "friend" is Krauss- in retrospect isn't much of a defense (photo was taken apparently in 2014, Krauss was outed in 2018 with a decades-long trail of harassment).

edit: from other articles, it is obvious that Pinker indeed means Krauss there.

I did think it was Krauss, but looking at his pictures just now on Google his smile seems completely different
 
bah . Like it is a roller coaster ride on a see-saw . Because everybody loves profits and Bulgarians now supposedly report there are indeed preparations for boarding clashes in the Black Sea , America solemnly promises not to defeat the evil side before 2027 , because even if they are teaching English to some and have cleared Europeans to paint other insignias on their F-16s , the chosen air crews will not be proficient enough for some time . Wait , was it really my calling card ?
 
Kinda funny in some ways that a rebel alliance would have a logo.

A secret sign that they can flash each other, sure, but a public-facing trademark . . .
 
I've seen some of Krauss' lectures and Q&A sessions with Richard Dawkins on YT. One of those resulted in a marathon argument I had with a woman from Louisiana that went on for TWO YEARS. Krauss also wrote The Physics of Star Trek.
 
Didn't they have entire planetary governments and a multisolar military? Wouldn't it be like a battle flag?

Concerning whether views expressed in the Selfish Gene etc, are scientifically outdated and have been so for decades.
Perhaps comorbid with why Dawkins branched out to various other examinations, including the occasional literary analysis of F. Kafka ^^
 
So that cable car in Pakistan that got stuck halfway across a ravine was nine hundred feet (275m) off the ground. WTH..! :eek: There's probably not more than a couple hundred buildings in the entire world that are that tall. The tallest building here is less than 800 ft/243m.
 
the usual antagonists know there would be consequences . A notion reinforced by the actions of those who should have been the masterminds of whatever that happened to me ... looking for proxies to take the fall in their name . The ones more likely to act are those who think they are smart and so on . That they will walk away , with the way the country is headed . That they have never lost . Ever ...

basically the first time ever that ı had some sort of a pyhsical contact with a dog . Coming almost to my waist even if that's nothing to write home about ; me being short and so on . It left a mark of saliva on my left thigh , visible on the trousers for minutes . Can't tell if it was trying to play with me as it ran to me . The mark was probably the same size it would be , had it bit . Said it bit me , because the cyclists were (probably) comparing me to it , ignoring their Right of Way ; because . Made no scene , because the owner was busy walking away . Headscarved and it was quite a distance where she might have unleashed it . Her other dog , equally large and held leashed , had one those cones around the neck . Every big black dog is a Doberman to me . It would be my word against hers . Nobody should think ı would win . Uhm , yeah , might still be nothing .

ı don't have an affair with Daisy Ridley . Or whatever . If it was her on an holiday . And whatever else claimed might have happened only because of the Hollywood strike , which is expected to run out steam by October or thereabouts as the Union people also have to eat . Will have global implications . Otherwise nobody would be like creating an impression that ı have any say on anything . And would laugh at reports that ı officially and openly support the strike ...

and of course the latest rumour or whatever that ı might have some connection to the "Ottomans" . You know , the family . No , ı don't have any . Remember the smart ones in the first paragraph . They are more likely to claim being Conservatives and having an awesome affection for the pre-Republic era . They actually hate the Ottomans , for some reason . To say ı know that family (instead of knowing people who would know people who would know) is basically a plot to get me killed or whatever . To be the last straw breaking the camel's back , so to say .

disney's so called custodianship of the Star Wars franchise has previously put me in peril . Where Congregation probably thought the surprise offing of Snoke was my plot . (It was Abrams' , approved and so on , he would have brought Palpatine back all along) Have no idea what ı might have done this time . Yeah , still it might have been some accident , totally unrelated . The owner was no doubt a kid back in the days they used to accuse me as a dog thief , too .
 
another peak day here in CFC . Everybody expects it to be a SAM , in the manner the "musicians" shot down the airborne command center plane that was escorting them against jet aircraft strikes on the high way . The earlier helicopter strikes had denied extra fuel supplies , the revolt was being corralled by "still military" elements within the "musicians" . And there would be like intense strikes if there was an attempt to upgrade the political show into a real challenge .

to make sense of this one needs to have heard of those secret mobilizations which people report only to convince the unwary that millions are lying dead around . Some of it might be real and WW II experience would motivate this thing to end up in a long training period to meet the Poles when the latter will be infamously accused of trying to reach their historic borders . P of W was then very vocal to get the recruits . Because the only thing these lot would know about Wagner would be that he wrote something called Nibelungen Lied or whatever . Because the future looked rosy and prospects were good . As long as "the victories" were monopolised . If that failed , then the ammunition stocks , so that the new recruits would have nothing to win victories with . The musicians lacked nothing at the time , or now .

hence the air command center plane job was murder . So that the new recruits would be rushed to "battle" and be humiliated . This is payback for that alone . Otherwise it was clear that Putin might have fully tolerated the talks and whatever with the West , the uncertainity and the delays imposed in braking an offensive before the rains . Like nobody saw anything about the August 5th offensive that was to come , calling for concentration of supplies and whatever . Which was paid by the West by allowing Niger to fall .

of course , the big question is whether this is a show , to let those people buy an island in the Caribbean . No issues , the Russians will be on it , as if it was Z of some other country . And pretty awesome if the reports are true that British Public Servants have been banned to define places like North Korea as hostile states , to avoid hurting the sensibilities of China . Yeah , some big elections in 2024 !
 
I once read The Well At The World's End, a proto-Tolkien fairy tale fantasy. It's a straightforward story, though there are hints of some intriguing background stuff that the author never satisfactorily develops. There is one particularly egregious example of this.

At one point in the story the heroine is abducted and sold into slavery. When the hero learns of this he puts off his quest and goes after her. (I should mention they've only met twice before by this point.) Hero is unable to follow trail at one point, heroine appears to him in dream, tells him specifically where to find her, and as the dream is about to end he asks for her name and she answers 'Dorothy'.

Later when heroine has been saved and hero resumes his quest with her, he calls her 'Dorothy' but she corrects him and says her name is 'Ursula'. Now the hero pauses to wonder, at two different points in the story, why her given name in the dream was wrong yet every other particular of it had been correct.

This was where I sat up and took a greater interest in the story, which had heretofore been so straightforward. Now here was a hint of something more than had yet met the eye. So I read doggedly on to the end, only to find the mystery is never solved.

There is nothing. Not on Wikipedia, not on Goodreads, nowhere else on the Internet is this even alluded to. There is only me and this mystery that gnaws at my heart, alone in the cruel, callous world. %$¥# you, William Morris!
 
the most recent dream ı remember involves a Hollywood person of lower ranks and whatnot with whom ı don't have an affair with and it involves a situation that would have never happened . In real life . Your story is extremely realistic . Had everything been real it would have been just a fairy tale , one to tell to the kids .

Was your dream accurate in every particular save for one?

I thought it was a clever conceit: because everything else in the dream was true, therefore the one thing that was apparently false must also be true, regardless of appearances. But apparently it was a nothingburger.
 
dreams are like where your mind repairs itself . They can not be accurate in everything because that's how your fears , feelings of inadequteness because ı couldn't write -cy form of that word , this whole lot of failures are rationalized , fixed , repaired and buried . Like how accurate it can be if ı have NEVER MET HER . This despite the American attempts to link me to the LA rocketman stuff , at the times they were bragging about the portals they had to alternate universes . Made famous during the Rey Kylo Ren shipping thing .

the only thing to take from this is that the author was probably aware of how dreams work and it is the joke the Ursula gets herself saved . While impossible in real life .
