"How do you know that? How do you know things??"
I don't know, man. Books, essays, I continued to be curious after I was finished with formal education? It's not witchcraft, just keep learning things.

"Protecting" Nigerian Christians was a nakedly political move. If he wanted to save lives he could save 600,000 by reinstating USAID without firing a shot. This was not a Christian act, this was a play for Christian votes in the face of massive moral and ethical failure.

Marrying into a competitive family when I'm far from competitive makes me feel anthropological when I attend holiday gatherings.

Writers, please don’t use genAI to create illustrations either. Support human artists.
If you like visual prompts, collecting oracle and tarot decks is a fantastic way to combine this support for art into your writing practice.

Just finished the main battle in Verso’s drafts. Tougher than I expected, but fun and a nice addition to the story.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

If you need a chatbot to tell you what to buy someone, reconsider if you're close enough to be buying them a gift in the first place.
Roughly 42% of shoppers are already using A.I. tools for their holiday shopping, a recent survey found. More than half of Generation Z and millennial respondents said they trusted A.I. to recommend unique gifts. nyti.ms/4pocGQc
A.I. Can Do More of Your Shopping This Holiday Season
New tools and features from retailers and tech companies use artificial intelligence to help people find gifts and make decisions about their shopping lists.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.
The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

I somehow made it to mid-40s believing that 4 Non Blondes were, in fact, blonde. I don't know how/when those wires got crossed, but I just realized I was wrong.

THIS is why local independent media is so important. Getting facts, not speculation, to all of us as quickly as possible.
I know, I know, media is DYING right? But LOCAL media is still out here doing the work, showing up, donning masks to breathe in fewer petroleum fumes and delivering the information our communities need. Allow me to demonstrate.

Don’t chase calm.
Seek out what your capacity is.
Regulation isn’t about silence.
It’s about enough energy to keep going.
