I dunno what it was called but a while back I read a story where a dude was saved from a tollbooth/robot-murder checkpoint on the road because the AI manning it was the bank teller AI that he had always said "Thank You" to.

EDIT: Found it and a buncha others! I'm not gonna bother to find a download link but the amazon page is here: https://www.amazon.com/Robot-Uprisings-Daniel-H-Wilson/dp/0345803639 (Also fair warning the first story is kinda lame)

The attraction graphs look very similar to ones that I saw in a book I read recently -- Dataclysm: Love, Sex, Race, and Identity--What Our Online Lives Tell Us about Our Offline Selves. It's written by the co-founder of OkCupid, so loads of the data came directly from there. That's what the OP graphs look like to me. You can use the "look inside" feature and search for "attraction"; page 47 has one of the graphs I'm referring to.

But it wasn't in flux. The Council of Nicea didn't pick the four gospels out of thin air. They were the ones used by the majority of churches. There were serious discussions about what books to include, yes, but these were scholastic and not ideological. The Good Shepherd, a popular text written soon after the Gospels, was omitted on scholastic grounds.

This is a good book about the history of the Bible.

>I was always thought the ideal of the supreme race being white/aryan was bizarre. If anything, aesthetically, we're the inferior race. A bunch of limp haired translucent people with a pigment deficiency.

You might love this book.

You might enjoy the true story of The Shakespeare Riots.

Philosophy doesn't lend itself very well to bumper sticker wisdom.

They're talking about the relationship between Leonard of Quirm and Lord Vetinari.

Really!

Yup.

In his book Young Frankenstein: The Story of the Making of the Film he says he got the name Blucher from the man who fought Napoleon at Waterloo, "Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher." Mel said he just liked the name.

What you said about the horses reacting is correct. He wanted to show there was something ominous about her.

I just finished reading "Chernobyl Prayer" by Svetlana Alexievich It's a book made up of interviews with people who lived through Chernobyl and its aftermath. It's probably the most heartbreaking book I have ever read. I can't recommend it enough to anyone who wants to understand the human cost of Chernobyl on an intimate, deeply personal level.
