It is important to note that the waning moon and the darkening days lend themselves to depression.

I recently bought 9 watt LED daylight bulbs. I plan to put them in key lamps in the house.

Carl Sagan, writing in 1995, warned that soon America would be ruled by illiterate elites wielding “awesome technological powers,” and that most people, their brains broken by screens, would be unable to resist. We are living in the nightmare that Sagan foresaw.

Sagan felt that the dumbing down of America was most evident in the rejection of science and the growing ignorance of history, art, literature, music and the humanities. If we're to reserve course, we need to revive mass education and literacy.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

I'm an immigrant with brown skin and black hair who moved here 57 years ago. I've been an American for 44 years - longer than Schwarzenegger.

No White American has ever learned to say my name properly or given a shit about my birth culture.

There has only ever been one loud message: ASSIMILATE.

First they came for ...

(well, first they came for me ... ages ago, and effectively made me irrelevant, but you get the idea).
Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

The 2016 WS was crazy.
My reaction was:

"Beating the Cubs is a national tradition, leave it to Cleveland to fuck it up."
-mtk 2013

My reaction to what we just watched is:

this was a better #worldseries than that.

They played 27 innings in 30 hours to a split decision in the middle of this one.

Another argument for it being one of the top seven greatest ever series:

At one point in the middle of the series,

they played
27 INNINGS OVER 30 HOURS AND THE RESULT WAS A SPLIT.

Victor #Wemby bangs in the paint, gets the board, makes the outlet pass over the top to Steph Castle who fires it up to Dylan Harper, who then attacks the Heat 2-on-3, with Champignie on the corner, splits the defenders goes to the hole and scores!

the 179th game of the season for the Dodgers

to defend their championship

takes place 3000 miles away from home, in another nation

against Max Scherzer,

a certified mutant lunatic.

and Bums to win to force 7, which I want to go 18 innings.
