Kind words about my new book on AI, The God Test (or at least about the beginning of it!) from an eminent mathematician and bestselling author and famously good teacher.

Pretty rare earthquake activity tonight on Earth.

Both of these things happening within 2 hours of each other:

1 in 1,000 to 1,200 years

• A “doublet” earthquake in Venezuela (two quakes of similar magnitude in the exact same spot)
• A totally separate 6.9+ quake somewhere else (Japan)

I like the narrator of the Audible version of my new book on AI (Chris Henry Coffey). He has a midwestern twang that gives the book a common sense vibe (which helps when, as in this clip, you're talking about the singularity.) https://t.co/OicHUaMInu

@EsotericCD @GrayConnolly The question that really divides people is what 18th or 19th century military headwear is most appropriate for the basset. My father believed strongly that the pickelhaube was the clear answer.

Americans once questioned this sort of thing.

⚡️ This is why you should NEVER take shelter under a tree during a thunderstorm.

This video shows the moment lightning struck a tree in a Houston neighborhood during Tuesday's storms.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.

Media giants are now threatening to do this.

We can't let this happen.

Pass it on.

I will be referring to the forthcoming El Niño as Supercalifragilisticexpealelniño. I will not be taking questions at this time.

Credit where it is due — the President, through his outlandish tweets that absolutely are beneath the dignity of the Leader of the Free World, has a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Now, Iran has two weeks to get weapons and supplies from Russia and China, put in some anti-aircraft batteries, and prepare for round two.

@JamesSurowiecki The problem is that we're not: We're obsessed with bending the rules in favor of our self-interest--and we convince ourselves that this is really an obsession with fairness. If it were really an obsession with fairness, you wouldn't see so many arguments (or wars).

“If the spread of reading represented the greatest transfer of knowledge to ordinary men and women in history, the smartphone revolution represents the greatest theft of knowledge from ordinary people in history.”

I compress @j_amesmarriott’s superb new book into a quote tweet.

Populists ask, "What has conservatism ever conserved?"

Well, it's about to conserve birthright citizenship.

In a recent interview with Jim Daly, Ben Sasse answered several challenging questions about how to respond to suffering with both Christian faith and hope:

"I don't want to be aggressive with the intellectualist rationalist side, but God tells us in Scripture everything we need to know for faith and life, but He doesn't tell us everything we want to know or everything that we ultimately will know. And He is God. And to whom else would we go? So, I trust Him because He is who He is, and He has been faithful.  And so, I won't get every answer this side of eternity...

Death is an enemy. Death is wicked. But it's the final enemy. It's our last battle. And after that, there will be no more tears. And so, we will have these answers, and we will know that God used it for His good."

Please keep praying for him and his family. (Full link below)

Why doesn’t Sweden grow its own avocados!?! Why should Mexicans have to pay for herring from Scandinavia?
