I love the Dead, but the truth is they only had two really good albums.

I said that to my son and he said, "Not true! What about Workingman's Dead? And American Beauty?" I said, "And?"

He said, "And you're right."

This kind of work creates POLITICAL COVER for people (normies and politicos) to peel away from the fash and do hard but necessary work to recreate the public sphere. It's THE LITERAL EMBODIMENT of liberal pluralism in the BODY POLITIC.

It's a measure of the current moment that I was not at all sure which exact children-starving event this post refers to.

So a conspiracy theorist rejects any documented evidence of suspicious behavior by China when it concerns the market, but then turn around and claim...
Ask Ethan: Couldn't COVID-19 have originated in a Chinese lab?
In theory, scientists could've produced a deadly virus that accidentally infected lab workers. In practice, we know that didn't happen.

Used to take the bus from NW DC (past Georgetown) to the Smithsonian in the 70s. I was in grade school at the time.

CTO of my own firm for 20 years, SW eng lead at DEC (remember them?) before that. I always said what I wanted in a programmer was someone who could write a good expository essay. Any nerd can learn a new programming language. The ability to think and organize information is harder to come by.
