The rebirth of Omni—and its vibe

As a preteen I liked Omni for the scifi and the cool stuff (and the art!) - but even at that age I could tell that there was an extremely high level of credulousness and god of the gaps arguments (though I didn’t know that had its own name till later). When even a 10 year old knows you’re fruitloopy that’s into quantum water and Jenny McCarthy territory.

And yes, I’d say it was far more credulous than BoingBoing. You can get your freak on here, but things are always in context.

That said, I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ll do.
