The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E

I'm still digging through the newest Pew Religious Landscape Survey, but it seems clear enough that one of the biggest differences in Buddhists between the 2007 study and the 2023-24 study is that the newer sample included more Asian Americans.
Buddhists | Religious Landscape Study | Pew Research Center
The Religious Landscape Study is a comprehensive survey of more than 35,000 Americans’ religious identities, beliefs and practices that’s been conducted in 2007, 2014 and 2023-24. Pew Research Center.

That was a fun little earthquake, 3.4 magnitude or so in Hayward, just a few miles away. I heard it before I felt it this time, and it felt like the house got hit by a truck.

Finally, a good use of AI! Leela is so creative. She made up her own murder mystery, including evidence to both implicate suspects & exonerate them. I got to help create some of her evidence, including a scathing book review, a missing cat poster, & a newspaper article.
