A drone dropped supplies that seemed destined for a crab boil at a South Carolina prison this week, staff said. The intercepted delivery included steak, crab legs, two bags of marijuana, Marlboro cigarettes and a small container of Old Bay seasoning, photos show.

Complex thinking requires clear writing.
Complex thinking requires clear writing.
this is my #1 advice to grad students: anyone can reproduce jargon; the bigger flex is being able to make the argument in straightforward prose. clarity is indicative of deep thought and engagement. even chatGPT can write word salad.
i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.

Yes to all of this. $140,000 is what a family needs to ‘get by’. Yet this would be a solid middle class income in Europe. What’s the difference? Childcare, transportation, healthcare, and education are less of a money pit—because of state action—in Europe than in the US.
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

my most woke opinion is that any truck/SUV over 4,000 pounds should require a commercial drivers license, increased insurance/registration, more expensive parking, and higher punishments for traffic violations
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
