He meant Steven Hawking.
I do not care to delve into the personal life of all scientists, particularly physicists, who rarely opine on human nature. Hawking’s contributions to astrophysics and quantum physics are unrelated to his associations with shitty humans. In that arena, however, I do prefer Leonard Susskind over Hawking, in that Hawking’s fucking ego would not let him consider other positions related to certain topics. (In short, yes, he was a douche bag).
There’s an excellent book by Susskind called the Black Hole Wars about how he was right and Hawking was a dick when it came to how black holes consume objects and the data therein. Hawking eventually conceded to Susskind reluctantly after a few decades.
In Communist Russia, phone call you.
I’d say that Floridian trucks are evolving, but they don’t believe in evolution. Satan himself must have left a gift.

615·15 hours agoStalinist? Come now, let’s not mix our metaphors. Let’s say it together, “Communism is the opposite of Fascism.”
Edit: my point is that there are far better people on the ideological Right to compare him to than Stalin. Stalin was a fuck, but Trump… Wait, Trump is a fuck, too. Forget it. Call him whatever! (I concede to the points below).
This is demonstrably false.

How did the apple grow? The fruit doesn’t form a tree from its stem.
Girl, you got an onion booty. It brings a tear to my eye.
Of course it is. It was just a wistful moment as I was waking up. Everyone is proving my point, though.

Better him than what we have now.
Not sure if this will make sense, but the 90s were the calm before the storm. They were the last breath before the plunge. Nobody was there to police you for words or anything else you did.
The 90s were the last time people existed before the internet connected us and exposed us to one another without edges. We were innocent because we didn’t know we were wrong. The Web being introduced in 1996 was the modern day apple being eaten in the garden of Eden. After that, we all learned shame.
