i'll take "why men form gangs" for 1000, alex
ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

looking at a calendar sideways (thinking about dispensationalism's septic bloodlust) i noticed i hadn't marked ten years of not playing video games
cold turkey (a skill i built drownded to develop) (i recognized myself in gamergate ferocity) was an empty feeling—like nothing before—but encouraging

4 years ago a game produced this: "what makes a flock of habits scatter"
starting then, i fixed my joy; muscles; balance; brain; eating
i play games all the time—e.g these gem profile pix—and drownded is a game of games, and prisms, for the long haul—i mean it took near 8 years to dig up a new me

It was very naive how many STEM people thought Republicans would stop at the humanities
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.

When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

i think even being worried as infomercials got traction, i didn't see the ways that that was mirrored in the financial sector decoupling from real investment

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Major sources of hate speech are located outside the US. Well yeah, we have this conversation every few months. And every few months people reject the bright shiny evidence that easiest way to ruin America is to feed the hate and bigotry that already exists here.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

i paraphrased it as "all experience is preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind" after some research
tho not about raw physical inputs, it's just as true there: color, texture, temperature, sound, smell, flavor—time—even ensoulment—are all metaphorical illustrations for benefit of executive mind

what i was thinking—kinda about contextual feedback loops—like how the salem witch trials mean witches were REAL then—and now the tuskegee experiment was TESTING injections—was it would be interesting to have junkie sherlock—maybe he's real—return 100 years later—from faerie—as a psychedelic phantom
Whenever you feel tempted to idealize authors based on their fiction, I think it's important to remember that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes, the archetype of the analytical genius, and also believed in fairies and thought Harry Houdini was a real wizard.

i reskut this cuz it was on the way to what i wanted say, but i didn't know where i was headed, in clear words
i think those people afraid are in fact really okay with trump turning the US into a fascist authoritarian state.
i would bet that none of them will be targeted by the fascists laws to come, will lose rights, be deported or arrested.
it's not cowardice and fear, it's complicity, period.
