#chrisknight — Public Fediverse posts

RE: https://c.im/@RadicalAnthro/116024652691905844

Well worth the read. No one is all piety. At the same time, it lets me off the hook for not being willing to disentangle Chomsky’s prose. Check out the Wikipedia entry on Decoding Chomsky for introduction to Chris Knight.
#chomsky #ChrisKnight #linguistics #MIT #politics

Senate leader David “Chip” Brightbill was a champion for the economy, the environment and his constituents https://www.byteseu.com/1521281/ #0912 #0912Comm2CgkL1 #2002 #20020912 #brightbill #c&i #can #čd #cgk #chris #ChrisKnight #comm2 #Commissioners #county #CountyCommissionersMeeting #dam #David #DavidBrightbill #DavidR.Brightbill #environment #knight #l1 #Lebanon #local #LocalProcessing #meeting #Meetings #Missing #MissingCd #Pa #pn #PnCi20020912 #processing #r #rexmont #RexmontDam

Finally got to reading this. It's an exceptionally clear-eyed description of Goodall's scientific contributions, with no pandering, just sincere enthusiasm for the discoveries. Nicely done, #ChrisKnight!

Oh man, this one hurts.

https://variety.com/2025/film/news/val-kilmer-dead-batman-forever-tombstone-1236354606/

I've always loved Val Kilmer. I mean, the guy is just one of _those_ actors, man; one of those special ones that comes along every now and then. Just a really cool personality. Great on-screen presence who's involvement in a film is always welcome.

But for me, my favorite role of his has to be Chris Knight in 'Real Genius'.

Man, I watched that film _obsessively_ as a kid. Real Genius was one of the first VHS tapes I'd ever purchased with my own money. I wore that fucker out. Not just being a great film in its own regard, but I also kind of looked up to Chris as a role model, of sorts?

Now, if you know the movie, Chris Knight is a brilliant genius. I am not.

But his friendly, flagrant disregard for authority and playful, fun-loving spirit as a coping mechanism for pressure left a lasting impression on me.

"Moles and trolls, moles and trolls, work, work, work, work, work. We never see the light of day. We plan this thing for weeks and all they want to do is study. I'm disgusted. I'm sorry but it's not like me, I'm depressed! There was, what, no one at the mutant hamster races. We only had one entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later. Why do I bother?"

Thanks, Val.
