A picture of Thunderbird 2, a transport vehicle from the 1960's Supermarionation show Thunderbirds!!!!!! (are go, you have to say "Are go!" after saying Thunderbirds, it's a thing....... countdown from five and say "Thunderbirds are go!" in a North American accent from the days when USA wasn't in the hands of a gang of greedy shitweasels.
Hmmm looks like a job for Thunderbird 2.

He appears to surrender the main argument by acknowledging Dennett's "small role" position and not interrogating it fully.
I read some of Horgan's other posts and I guess my conclusion is; it is really hard to do good philosophy via public blog.
Quelle surprise: I got out of philosophy as a grad.

Agree to disagree: You can't really win in philosophy by painting the author of a disagreeable view as an asshole regardless of whether they are so IRL. The argument Horgan puts misdirects by only looking at qualia and a bit of basic logic.

16:9, Colour, Landscape: Nighttime longβexposure view of Hobson St: red, blue, and white vehicle light trails #flowing past green and amber traffic lights, with a glass-fronted building lit above by a sign reading MΓVENPICK, and streetlamps illuminating the urban scene. I think the vantage point is good but maybe I need an ND filter to really clean things up, hence the okay but great shot. #Nikon #nz #Auckland #Aotearoa #Photography #Flowing #BlueSkyArtshow

3:2, #BlackandWhite, Landscape: A #monochrome shot of a theatrical-looking figure in flat shoes and a white feather-like patterned dress stands centre frame, the long-feathered wings creating a bright, textured silhouette against the darker plaza. Several pigeons are on the ground and one is mid-flight near the outstretched hand. Benches, trees, and a few seated passersby form an urban park backdrop. It seemed to be the case that our bird lady is quite a common figure in Aotea Square given how quickly security seemed to arrive to chase her away. I deliberately shot for profile, not face but she kept looking round at me. This was the best of the set. the s #Nikon #nz #Auckland #Aotearoa #Photography #UrbanPhotography

F**k this govt and their racist, ablest, curriculum changes. The NZHPE curriculum at the world level was held up as the gold standard. And now we wind back the clock to the 1970's, with the help of an Australian "Expert" who can't tell the difference between between sport and physical activity.

In other news - does this mean the fatwah on cycle lanes will soften?
Reminder: competition between MAMILs while no less toxic is still safer than a competition between MAM's driving whatever giant vehicle makes them hard.
Final: Totally support footpaths for pedestrians.

This strikes me as an argument about speed not MAMILs per se, given that many of my generation are moving to "Motor supported riding". The bit that interested me the most, was clear regulation of passing space which if enforced would make road riding a lot more agreeable.

The early morning sun was glowing in the most beautiful way between #two crossed branches the other day. There was a lot of moisture in the air and the haze was almost golden one minute and silver the next. The tree also had #two trunks. #BlueSkyArtShow

I'm pretty sure that by this stage if you had asked what Mum wanted for Christmas she'd have said an Osmond. I remember clearly all the "Sit still while I blow dry your hair...." days

Where is a news story that clearly points out that Winston again indicated that immigrant MPs don't have the same rights in parliament as NZ-born MPs, except the guy he was targeting was NZ born and also indigenous.
