Now you got me thinking though... what makes something funny... and why? I have read papers about this from psychology and from computer science but I'm not remembering. |

That word 'funny' always makes me feel uncomfortable. Because if I were trying to be funny, I would be something like Bill Wegman - he really tries to be funny. I don't try to be funny. It's just that I feel the world is a little bit absurd and off-kilter, and I'm sort of reporting. |
| Paul Feig |
What I don't like is when I see stuff that I know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there's no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. What you don't want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here's the epiphany scene and then the movie's over. |
| Eduardo Galeano |
Reality is very, very contradictory, and so I try to write just perfecting what I see, what I read, what I feel, in a feel-thinking way. Not only giving ideas, or receiving ideas, or trying to explain something, but mainly feel-thinking, a feel-thinking language able to tie the heart and the mind, which have been divorced. |

We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible. |

I thought my family was really funny. Everybody in my family was funny. My mom and dad both have great senses of humor and really saw the funny in stuff, so I think that's probably where it came from. I always try to see the funny in things. |

You know, I read the papers and I watch the news a lot. I watch 'Dateline' and '48 Hours'. And I think we have a tendency to become terrified of one another, thinking that there is a serial killer that is on either side of you. |

I love to do comedy, and I don't think of things as drama or comedy. I think that if it's a funny line, it's a funny line. If it's a funny moment, it's a funny moment. |

Like all science, psychology is knowledge; and like science again, it is knowledge of a definite thing, the mind. |
| Adan Canto |
I kind of stumbled into acting, even though I've always been fascinated by people and kind of their motives, and it's been amazing to me, everything I read before about psychology, philosophy, just to put it into practice somehow. |

Hundreds of Researchers From Harvard, Yale and Stanford Were Published in Fake Academic Journals
In the so-called "post-truth era," science seems like one of the last bastions of objective knowledge, but what if science itself were to succumb to fake news? From a report:
Over the past year, German journalist Svea Eckert and a small team of journalists went undercover to investigate a massive underground network of fake science journals and conferences. In the course of the investigation, which was chronicled in the documentary "Inside the Fake Science Factory," the team analyzed over 175,000 articles published in predatory journals and found hundreds of papers from academics at leading in...

I think you may be overlooking just how wrong people can be about what interests them. The requirements of my undergrad are what made me even consider trying out computer science in the first place. I would probably be an elementary school teacher by now if it weren't for my lab science requirement. Also, college provides some small form of quality control for the instructors. Not a lot, but certainly more than a decentralized network.

If you want to read something dark, read the text messages of a teenage girl who convinced a kid to kill himself: https://htv-prod-media.s3.amazonaws.com/files/carter-exhibit-30-1497356322.pdf
She keeps texting him for two months after he died. She planned out his suicide and told him what to do. But she also loves him? I have no idea what this girl was thinking.

when you got a guy talking with the vibe he's reading a script but he leans into bc it's funny but it's good enough where you're like woah-is he doing that to be funny or is he not even aware of it all
that's the funniest combo

I'm in my 5th year as a PhD student in computer science and I think this is the first time that I've had a practical application for Floyd-Warshall.

i had a dream within a dream within a dream last night
in the deepest dream, which is the hardest to remember, I know there was something scary. I don't remember what exactly was scary, but I do remember it involved being in a spooky-looking basement, one of those that feels cold, drippy, moist like a cave, spider webs all over. I think this basement was pretty empty. I remember being in a stairway that led down to it, looking down into its depths, the golden light behind me fading darker with each step.
I remember being in the basement. I don't remember what was happening in there. I wasn...

Is Google paying academics to only research topics it agrees with?
Google is being accused of using its funding power to push forward hundreds of research papers that support its agenda and business practices, particularly those that face criticism from regulators.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) has seen thousands of emails detailing financial relationships between Google and at least a dozen university professors from top-ranking universities in the world.
