Born 2 January 1920, author Isaac Asimov. I loved his books - they were my first introduction to sci-fi. The Oxford English Dictionary credits his work for introducing into the English language the words "robotics", "positronic" and "psychohistory". #IsaacAsimov

"If it wasn’t Shirley’s video, it would have been something else. If it wasn’t MN, it would have been somewhere else. If it wasn’t about daycare fraud, it would have been something else. Everything this administration does is about creating a fig leaf to justify its violent dismantling of democracy"
The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives
Privatization and a lack of oversight creates a vicious cycle.

I just bought my daughter some books she wanted. I could have driven to a local indie bookshop that might have had all the books, then gone to the post office and sent them to her.
Instead I spent 5 mins on my phone and its all sorted.

There's no oscillation. A program designed to force a white supremacist society to include people who are being unnaturally restricted is not discriminatory, and is good.
