I am 40% of the way through Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I was already interested but then about a third of the way through the book really, really got my attention. I know I still have the majority of the book to go, but I'm already thinking about how I don't want it to end.

Just finished Stranger Things, needed an escape from the real world for a bit. I can't believe we've had ten years with these characters. I very much did not expect to cry, but it was beautifully done. We all entered the Upside Down in 2016, and I guess we're still here. At least they got out.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

My statement on the Trump Administration’s actions in Venezuela.
For decades, presidents of both parties have irresponsibly expanded presidential power, circumventing both domestic and international safeguards in the name of national security. No modern American administration, however, has so routinely ignored the Constitution and misled Congress as the current one. I have fidelity to our Constitution even if I do not have sympathy for Nicolás Maduro. We live in the shadow of endless wars over regime change and oil, often launched in the language of democracy and safety. We have seen how overestimating the capacity for a peaceful transfer of power can lead to the illusion of short term success, while undermining our own security and global influence in the long term. At a minimum, these individual actions legally and substantively demand Congressional action and public consultation. But collectively, the military operations we have seen in the Caribbean, the Pacific, and, now, on land in Venezuela, present a significant escalation of unilateral action that betrays a larger goal by this administration. Beyond arguments for or against any individual action, the Trump Administration is clearly seeking to remake the global order in a way that will, ultimately, benefit authoritarians and adversaries. Our values and principles as a nation matter most when we have seemingly altruistic reasons to violate them. I oppose a “might makes right in my neighborhood” foreign policy. It is amoral, illegal, dangerous, and lays the foundation for bad actors like Russia and China. History is littered with conflict, atrocities, and global wars ushered in under that philosophy. And those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.

My goal was 15, so I got an extra one in there! Going for 18 this year. I finish grad school in May, so the rest of the year should be easier. 😬

Wow, worse than I thought. I guess Dear Leader has really gotten to CBS. I have the choice of a few streaming subscriptions included with one of the services I pay for, I just went in and switched it away from Paramount. I don't want to be responsible for one cent going their way.

Why go to the bother of investigating current events when you can simply regurgitate propaganda pablum instead?

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

What can we do about this? Here's one good idea.
