I feel my education somewhat prepared me for the possibility things might backslide to the 30s and 40s but no one said I should watch out for things going back to the fucking middle ages.

Was awake for the very end of the Rose destroying the extremely shorthanded Lunar Owls.
I'm hyped for Unrivaled starting today.
My sleep cycle? Not so much. I'm probably going to be asleep for most if not all of today's action.

So is this where I tell you that cops have been doing this to Black activists for decades and you're only now realizing it is a problem because it happened to a young white woman or nah?
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Now I HAVE paid my bill. It is paid. My balance is zero. I'm not sure how.
Is my internet back? It is not. Same error remains.
According to the nice support guy, it will probably either work at midnight or I'll have to talk to the billing team on Monday.

The right's favorite time in history is always imaginary.
Clearly AI-generated with an agenda: it's a rainy day but all the (white) women are wearing summery floral dresses or skirts? In London, on an autumn/spring day? Bullshit, they'd have frostbite and be soaked to the skin.

Israeli lefties talk a lot about "when they put us in the camps." Not if. When. It's one of those running joke that persist because there's a real fear behind them.
The reason for it is that we see how the government treats the Palestinians.

This college hoops season is WILD.
I mean, last year's final four are all still very good, with UConn and Texas a rung above (though Texas almost lost today).
But past that? Wild.

This weekend without wifi has been a mixed experience.
On the negative, everything was slower and I didn't watch any movies or tv.
On the (let's call it) positive, the actual horrors happening everywhere arrived a little slower at my brain's processing center.
