Deleted my Chuck Norris comment from yesterday--hadn't paid close enough attention to him lately. Ugh. Apologies.

@dabeaz

Same here. Had no idea he went of the chart that bad either.

@tsvenson @dabeaz "off the chart"? I didn't see his movies, I think. I know of the many jokes representing him as some ultimate force. (Which seems to always come with positive connotation.) I know he died recently. I didn't hear from him otherwise, or his activities in last decade or so. What am I missing?

@cobratbq

Apparently his political views turned rather extreme, quite MAGA.

@dabeaz

@tsvenson @dabeaz hmm.. didn't hear about that. Without an explanation in his own words, I wouldn't judge. Considering how extreme the left got with ideas such as the (contemporary) wokeness, which I think fails to hit the goal they long for, you don't quite know which underlying principles are guiding his motivation.
@cobratbq @tsvenson @dabeaz complaining about "wokeness" and not wanting to judge the far right? I think we've found your underlying motivations

@neoluddite @cobratbq

That's more than me then, since until after he died I wasn't aware my childhood favorite hade developed a different map at older age. So got a bit stunned learning about that.
