If you haven't already: Start weight training.

You don't have to gym rat out, or even buy equipment. Just put together some body weight exercises and do them regularly.

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

To make up for how Power Rangers is an old Japanese show they filmed additional scenes with Americans for we should do the opposite and make the casts of Law & Order SVU and Grey’s Anatomy stop a couple times an episode to fight people in werewolf costumes

Is Anderson Cooper alive or dead?

I have no strong preference, I'm just curious.

If you want to see an interview where someone describes it as a kind of psychedelic experience...the sort of mirroring it does apparently can have a mental overload effect that legitimately mirrors psychedelics/hypnosis...and some people are having real bad trips.

All these companies will fold soon, and what actual uses there are for LLMs will end up on 3-10 thousand dollar computers for people who need them.

Even the enthusiasts are moving to local LLMs for whatever vibe coding or text bot psychosis micro dosing they're doing with them.

People are making light of this, and I get it, but some of my most profound experiences of something bigger than myself have been my times with migrants. I am not a religious person, but I have spent time with Jesuits, Sikhs, and Friends who serve migrants and we had a great deal in common.

Go woke, go Pope

Pope Leo says faith and love for migrants are connected

In his first major document as leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo urges nations and believers to care for the poorest in society.

Really says something about those TP kids. Going through the effort of taking a university class for multiple days a week with the express goal of not learning anything and also destroying the teacher professionally is really quite a way to spend one's time.

Years ago I was teaching my gun history class and at the end of the quarter one of the students said that he was in the campus TPUSA chapter and they put him up to taking the class to spy on me but he felt bad about that because he loved the class and learned a lot and had a great time

Hippies pull the tarp off their germ bomb while "Along the Watchtower" plays.

Mona Simpson readies some wires attached to the clock on the bomb.

All the hippies and Mona look on the finished germ bomb.

Hippie leader: When this baby goes off, Burns' lab is going to be history, man. Germ history!

The hippies walk off laughing.

Hippie leader: Oh, man, I got the munchies.

Dire as the stakes are, leaning into absurdist and lighthearted forms of protest seems like a great way to puncture the fantasy Trump & co are spinning to attempt to rationalize a violent crackdown.

As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.
