I reiterate something I said a while back:
You’ll often be hard pressed to find a better citizen of these United States than one who came from somewhere else.

New music - Is this dungeon synth? soundcloud.com/deejayeetee/...

Did I accidentally make something dungeon synth-adjacent? I think this is a pretty good start of something. Probably needs some resequencing of song sections and some additional instruments, and maybe

He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Nobody has ever had to pass a law or issue an order to say that the earth moves around the sun, and yet it does so, despite any proclamations to the contrary.
You are real, I am real, we are here and we live, and even if they kill - including by degrees or decrees - they cannot undo our existence.

this is the thing, they could pass a law saying the Earth is fucking flat (and if there were a way to make a buck on it, i'm sure they would.) but whatever happens in that court of the damned or thereafter, remember this-
our joy is fucking real. their laws arent.
and they will never take our joy!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.

In the center of the forest,
there is an unlikely stone that remembers when the mountains
were new.
It waits in a circle of moss like the pupil of a green eye.
You kneel and ask it a wordless question.
It answers.
“Cherish exactly who you are. For there can never be another.”

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world
