Keep the Buddhist temple on public street in your intentions for whatever your personal spiritual practice is. The karmic implications of not shoveling out their sidewalks for this long are surely incomprehensible

I had a consult with my psychologist yesterday to talk about results from an evaluation I did and he used the metaphor of "draining a bucket through a pinhole" to describe how my processing speed results lag almost 3 standard deviations behind the rest of my brain and I feel like Darwin got it
Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.
I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Yeah what authority does a zoning officer have to decide zoning?
A Providence zoning officer exceeded her authority by granting an off-street parking modification when reviewing a real estate developer’s preliminary plan, a Superior Court judge has held. https://rilawyersweekly.com/blog/2026/02/09/providence-zoning-officer-parking-modification-reversed/

Why did the Northeast's electricity costs go up? We're heavily reliant on purchasing electricity generated by gas and don't own our own generation.
What's RI's proposed approach to address growing electricity prices? Double down on gas, disinvest in generation and reducing demand!

An interview with a man who does not board trains.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."
