Amazingly clear case of first amendment violation
The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

I don't expect Kendrick to save America or anything but I do kinda feel like his response to Drake might've been a little disproportionate. Or his response to trump. Not sure which.

People act like "the party machine" is programmatically determined...

Calling it a machine is a trap.

"The establishment" does not exist.

What exists is a network of relationships.

People really need to stop being surprised when people they haven't built relationships with don't support them.

I'm not sure whether casual sexism or faux feminism is worse.

Every strong character is male? Boring. Problematic.

*Talking* about how strong your female character(s) are but still making all of the strongest characters men? Feels even grosser to me.

People keep telling me that red and green are just as different as orange & blue or purple & yellow. I'm still not sure I believe them.

How much space is there?

How would we even measure it? Light-years cubed?

Does "dark matter" count as space?

"I think we should see otter people."
"Wait, what? Did something happen? Can we talk about this?"
"Obviously. I just think they're super cute."
"Who's super cute?"
"The otter people! Here look: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL8U...
"...ya, that... that makes sense. You did that on purpose didn't you?"

I still think about Cory Booker's baby bonds and what a good idea they were

People who think in terms of Faith have been known to accuse scientists of having "faith" in science.

I think there's some honesty in that idea. But people of Faith often mean that scientists have faith in answers.

In reality, scientists just have faith in questions: that there's more to learn.

The assumption that being older means someone is more likely to make wise decisions has increasingly shown itself to be a lie. Especially as it's happened to ME.

Often it's just different bad decisions rather than less bad ones.
