Probably not 3 days pass at a time without me thinking about shit in this Graeber essay. Pairs real well with the line from Veins about how the teachers don't tell you about how you can get a GED so the popular kids have a steady supply of kids to torture.

if you are old enough to remember, at all, what was going on during the run-up to iraq, and fall for it again now, you are either vile beyond repair or such an enormous mark that you should be locked in a mcdonald's playplace for your own personal safety

Defunding research on brain development and memory doesn't help anyone and certainly doesn't improve the welfare of students.
Last year, I was overjoyed to receive an NIH NRSA fellowship to study toddler brains and caregiving effects on memory at Columbia. Last night, my grant was terminated.

And I signed up for a "tele-town hall" featuring my Rep (PA-05) and some others, and submitted a question about whether their opposition to the Trump administration will consist of anything more substantive than holding up a lollipop sign at them

So I made all these Reacher things last year, when I first thought of the joke, and I was posting them last week. There are about 21 to go, and so as an accountability thing I guess I'm going to let myself post one each time I Do Something in Real Life to address the Various Problems.

Refer again to the Philadelphia Inquirer - maybe the best daily paper left. In 2012 it was purchased by Gerry Lenfest, who was Annenberg's lawyer. He then donated it to a foundation so it would be protected from people like Annenberg.
