Lastly, divorce is bad. Do try to avoid it. It's especially bad for children. But it isn't the end of the world. It's not SO incredibly bad that it's worth avoiding marriage on purpose just so you can't get divorced.
That's like avoiding employment so you can't be fired.

The salmon can’t comprehend AI, lice or lasers.
I wonder what God protects me from that is just beyond my comprehension. Life’s a gift.
Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon
they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7
the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them
as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon
the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off
but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon
so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day:
> two cameras watch every salmon that swims past
> AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse
> then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away
> the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead
we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao

I want you to imagine somebody offers you a deal: they'll take $20 from every person every year and in return they will pack everyone's social media feed with AI art.
You'll still be able to seek out human art, if you want to. But there will be so much more art in the world.
And WHY was it a shame that he felt like he had to change? To... assimilate? Is it BAD for other people to ask us to change our ways, just to accommodate them better? Just to make them more comfortable? Is that something that others have NO RIGHT to ask of us?
I’m the grandson of an immigrant who came to America from Jalisco Mexico.
He changed the way we pronounced our family name.
Over time, the culture disappeared. The language evaporated. The stories were forgotten.
No immigrant should have to feel like they need to lose their culture in order to become more American.

People mocking Jensen Huang’s wife for her looks are missing the point.
Lori met Jensen when he was a broke engineering student, married him before NVIDIA even existed, and stood by him for 40 years as he built his empire.
She was faithful and loyal. Even if the mistress was more attractive, Jensen was a scumbag for betraying his wife and kids.
Suddenly the "judge not" people have found something they delight in judging.
My God. My God. The pettiness and hatred in that man's heart. He is literally a character in Dante's Inferno. Despite being given so much in life, he hates his enemies more than he fears God. MASSIVE respect to Douthat for posing the question, and then pressing him to answer.

I'm looking forward to him attending mass at Christmas.
The first American Muslim senator, Abdul El-Sayed, has attended a Diwali celebration.
Diwali is a major Hindu religious festival, commonly involving honouring "deities" such as Lakshmi and celebrating the return of Rama to Ayodhya.
Celebrations can include prayers and puja (acts of worship), including offerings to Hindu "deities."
Muslim scholars prohibit partaking in Diwali celebrations or even wishing Hindus "Happy Diwali" because Islam is built upon Tawheed — the absolute oneness of Allah — and the rejection of shirk, associating partners with Him.
The deaths of Floyd and Kirk were both tragic.
But if you think they are both equally bad, or that both partisan responses are equally silly, you have a disorder of some kind. There's a difference and it should be obvious.

By refusing to charge the armed maniac who attacked Dave Chappelle on stage, George Gascon is sending a clear message that public acts of political violence are justifiable—and even encouraged—against anyone who dares speak out against The Regime.
It’s Sinister & Un-American.
Richard is just wrong on the facts. There's not a single human being on earth who got canceled for not being sad enough.
Not one.
Every single person who got canceled, they were outright celebrating the man's death.
Rightists have trouble understanding why Charlie Kirk jokes are funny.
Maybe I can explain it in a way you can understand.
People make jokes when a situation is absurd, and more specifically, when others demand you say something untrue about a person and treat them with more respect than they deserved.
George Floyd died. You conservatives thought jokes about St Floyd were funny. In your mind, he was a criminal and a drug addict, and leftists had treated him like the Second Coming of Jesus. Or think about how you'll see a trans person playing basketball with biological women, which leftists tell you is fine and normal, and how funny it is to laugh at this.
Similarly, most Americans do not share your personal admiration for Charlie Kirk. They think he was a bigot and a conspiracy theorist. He was also not in any way a thinker or someone who contributed positively to the discourse, but a political hack who formed his opinions based on tribal considerations and owning the libs.
When Charlie Kirk died, you went around cancelling people for being insufficiently sad. Even if someone said they were sad about his death and they just thought he didn't deserve to be admired, in those cases rightists still tried to destroy people's lives. Republicans in Congress started calling for a statue of Charlie Kirk in the US Capitol, and others introduced legislation to put his face on coins.
As of April 2026, an AP article identified more than 60 Kirk-themed bills introduced across over 20 states. Among these was one in Florida that threatened to take away funding from universities if they didn't rename a road after Charlie Kirk.
Outside of your bubble in which Charlie Kirk was a great thinker and leader, this is all ridiculous.
So when people at a Chappelle show hear the name "Charlie Kirk," they're not thinking about the human being and father. They're associating the name with rightists trying to create a cult of personality, and are employing humor, which is common when people are facing a movement that is trying to tell them what to do.

If the gender binary is made up, why don't we end all scholarships based on the gender binary?
The gender binary is made up. Not “on these things.” Just in general. It’s a social construct. Completely made up concept. You aren’t born liking different things because you’re a boy. Your interests are a direct result of your socialization and upbringing.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sex differences in interests and toy preferences emerge early in infancy and parallel patterns in nonhuman primates, indicating biological factors alongside socialization. Meta-analyses document large consistent differences in things- versus people-oriented interests.

Conservatives don't mind having their ideas challenged. You can't even BE a conservative in most of the country without allowing your ideas to be challenged every once in a while.
Old Star Trek often would challenge those ideas in interesting and fun ways.
Conservative Star Trek fans really do fascinate me because watching these shows for the first time is just getting beat over the head with the woke bat the entire run time
