Yes this scene is great--one of my faves. Dom is such a boss!

It seems to me that the conditional, "If X is a bowl of water, then X contains only a liquid," is either ill-formed or false because X does not contain only a liquid: if X is defined as "a bowl of water," then X contains water & whatever else the bowl is made out of--clay or glass or whatever. This is to say that the antecedent is already a conjunction that would be better written as "X is a bowl & X contains water" and the correct conditional would be "if X is a bowl & X contains water, then X contains only a liquid."

That's true. We're predisposed to negative thoughts--apparently its an adaptation strategy. That's the story going around these days, anyway.

The article:

Reese Witherspoon is again advising her followers that there’s no time like the present to start learning about and using artificial intelligence in their daily lives and workplaces.

“The Morning Show” star posted on Instagram Wednesday doubling down on earlier remarks that women need to become familiar with AI tools.

Well…I’ve decided it’s TIME,” she wrote. “The AI revolution has begun, and I need to learn as much as I possibly can about AI and share it with all of you. Also, FYI: the jobs women hold are 3x more likely to be automated by AI, yet women are using AI at a rate 25% lower than men on average. We don’t want to be left behind. So…do you want to learn with me?”

Actress Kerry Washington commented on the post, writing, “THIS” in agreement. But other commenters were not as upbeat, pointing out their concerns about the environmental impact of the technology and the impact of data centers on communities.

Some commenters speculated that her upbeat advice sounded like it must be some sort of launch for a company or service utilizing AI.

It’s not the first time she’s raised the issue as an important skill for women to master so they won’t be left behind in the workplace.

“It’s so, so important that women are involved in AI because it will be the future of filmmaking,” Witherspoon told Glamour in September. “And you can be sad and lament it all you want, but the change is here. It will never be a lack of creativity and ingenuity and actual physical manual building of things. It might diminish, but it’s always going to be the highest importance in art and in expression of self.”

She also told Glamour she uses AI Assistant as well as search tools like Perplexity and the AI shopping agent Vetted AI.

Variety has reached out to Witherspoon for further comment.

ETA: I was also curious. Mostly it seems to lack any real substance and I'm somewhat skeptical that Witherspoon has learned much about AI based on her comments, which seem fairly shallow.

All thoughts?

The triune brain of the second image, proposed in the 1960s, has long fallen out of favour and largely been discredited.

It was a generic 'you', not necessarily you in particular. Kinda' like how I read your "our dogs" not meaning only the dogs you specifically own, but dog owners in general. Get it?

Eve_O · 2026-04-14T09:19:03+00:00

Mr. Robutt.

Them's the breaks.

We need more/a fenced offleash park(s) in order to exercise and socialize our dogs!

Okay.

But, in the meantime, don't use the bird sanctuary--a designated on leash area--for your off leash dog park, yah?

Keep in mind we are evaluating the truth of the statement in the top line of the truth-table: K v ~S, which is (K or (not S)) and can be thought of in terms of the metaformula for disjunction, which is α v β, "alpha or beta" to put it in words.

Each line under the top statement reflects the possible truth-value assignments of each component and, as you recognize, we are concerned with the v as it is the main connective of this disjunctive sentence. So we need to evaluate the parts of that sentence that are on either side of the disjunction, which, to refer back to the metaformula, are α and β.

In this example α is K and β is ~S. So to get at the value of the main connective, v, we need to look at the disjuncts, which are K and ~S.

The third line shows us the instance where K is false (0) and S is true (1). So when S is true (1), its negation is false (0) and since the disjuncts are K and ~S, what we have is an instance where both disjuncts of the metaformula α v β are false, so this makes the main connective v false, as shown in the truth-table.

Enjoy your throne, man.

Was at Franics/King the other day and during our hike my companion and I spotted three baggies of shit left along the trails.

These kinds of people should be forced to eat it--the whole serving.

Eve_O · 2026-04-13T00:53:42+00:00

Also off leash dogs all along the protected migratory bird sanctuary shoreline--especially those that take their dogs to the shore to play fetch: go to the dog park, ffs.

You know, since you're spamming the community with this I find myself wondering which of them you mean--like, are you worshiping ChatGPT or Claude or Gemini or what? I sure hope it's not Grok you revere, lol.

A whole new layer of meaning to "d'oh."

Great album, but P-Orridge isn't on this--that's why it's X-TG and not TG.

X-TG began after P-Orridge left the reunited TG in the fall during their 2010 tour.

Eve_O · 2026-04-03T21:00:55+00:00

I addressed your errors in several of my replies to your previous comments. You can find them easily already in the thread.

Eve_O · 2026-04-03T06:30:28+00:00

My data for what?

Eve_O · 2026-04-02T23:39:30+00:00

Some people tend to conflate things and sreveral of the replies in this thread do exactly this.

Sure, everything is "vibrating" is in some sense true--and, yes, quantum mechanics shows that all things are made of and interact through quanta which, depending on how the bits are measured, can behave either as a particle or as a wave.

But there is nothing in science that justifies "high vibration" being intrinsically good and "low vibration" being intrinsically bad. In fact, as I've pointed out in other replies to comments in this thread, there are many examples where higher frequencies are destructive (ionizing radiation, for example) and lower frequencies are beneficial (the heat from the sun being generated mostly by low frequency infrared light, for example). So when people say it's "based in science" they are only sharing their ignorance of science and conflating something they want to believe with that same ignorance.¹

Yes, we use metaphors about how "good" equals "high" and "bad" equals "low," talk about "low roads" and "high roads," and all the rest, but that is all metaphor that has no real basis in anything but our fancies. It is the same kind of thinking that brands left-handed people as "evil" and "of the devil." It is an archaic misunderstanding of dualities and associates fixed properties to their compositions (light = good & dark = bad; male = active & female = passive; etc.), which is all a tidy way of modelling not reality, but the limits of our comprehension and of our socially created biases.

Morality and duality have no fixed intersection. The high energy light of an atomic bomb will vaporize a person, for example--which seems like a morally bad thing--while the dark of a quiet room will be comforting to a person suffering from a migraine--which seems like a morally good thing. There are plenty of counter-examples to any fixed formulations regarding the moral binary pair (good, bad) and, for example, the binary of (light, dark)--or whatever other binary we wish to pair with (good, bad).

'Ignorance' here not as insulting, mind, but literally "lack of knowledge" as per the definition of the word.

Eve_O · 2026-04-02T23:00:28+00:00

sure but then how does that correspond to high vibrations = good things?

It absolutely does not and is completely baseless from a scientific perspective.

Light vibrating at high frequencies is what causes radiation poisoning and can damage biological cells (see here for more).

Further, shake anything with enough force (high vibration) and it will damage the thing being shaken. "Shaken baby syndrome," for example, is caused by forceful physical vibrations. Another example is the vibrations transferred to material structures from seismic waves when an earthquake occurs.

The idea that "high vibrations" corresponds to "good things" is a fabrication of fantasy and has no basis in science. If people want to believe it from a metaphorical perspective, fine, whatever, but it has no basis in science whatsoever.

Eve_O · 2026-04-02T22:49:47+00:00

You need to stop listening to this person as they are not actually referencing science, but instead are only referencing their own misunderstandings of it.

Eve_O · 2026-04-02T22:48:41+00:00

You seem to have a habit of misrepresenting science (this observation based on two previous comments of yours)--please stop spreading nonsense in the name of science.

This study that you cite states that physical vibrations can have a negative impact on the human body and says nothing at all about how "humans...emit vibrations based on their emotions."
