Headed to my flight in my best workout gear/prom dress
From Pretty in Pink (1986): Andie in her homemade pink prom dress - a mashup of a 60s pink dress with white polka dots cut up to fit her like a sack with baggy half-length cold shoulder sleeves with pink lace from a separate gown attached as a halter neckline with fabric from the 60s dress around her neck.

Oh I was wondering about who he was. Just after this guy’s passage about culling the weak and “grudgingly” accepting that fascism is maybe the best ideology for government he talks about him:

bsky.app/profile/sctr...
It was interesting to notice that at the Forbidden Research conference, nobody managed to say anything remotely out-of line. One large discussion group wanted to address the question of whether "democracy still works", and mostly expressed their disagreement with Trump. Ideology is like halitosis: easy to see in others, hard in oneself A speaker felt that the media "stifle all criticism of Trump", another wanted to remove "men and Elon Musk from government", and everybody strongly agreed that we need more diversity everywhere. I noticed some time ago that Joi has remarkable public communication skills. He picks controversial, insight-laden topics, but sanitizes them by carefully replacing the parts of content that would divide his audience with symbolic messages that everybody can fill with their own content in a way that resonates with them. The non-controversial parts will still be insightful. He manages to come across as very subversive, while rarely offending anyone (except the hard He manages to come across as very subversive, while rarely offending anyone (except the hard scientists, that miss hard substance). He also asks influential people and smart students or faculty to write parts of his essays and speeches for him. This invests them in his success, especially because he is going to reward and acknowledge them. Very few of his ideas are original, instead he is good at identifying and testing thoughts he reads or hears from others. HOUSE OVERSIGHT 026401 I am still beset by the ruinous instinct that the goal of communication ought to be mutual understanding. Joi is right. Public communication is about reaching one's goals.

Nice to know that this is what these are the “great” ideas these people are all spewing at each other
i my self believe that african music, westrn music, chinese music are a window into the the structure of those layers.. western rigid, african primitve, chinese nature based, . I belive that synphoic moments best describe your layering, they open with a basic simple melody, after it is learned, it is repeated and" developed", inverted, distorted, related, etc. the development stage take a long time. then there is a recapitlaltion of the whole. and its inter and intra actions. . african musci has lots of beats. and little development. - no accident, it mirrors their learning process. Interesting question if music is somehow indicative of genetically defined prefs, but I am not sure. It could be path effects, starting in culture. too many people, so many mass executions of the elderly and infirm make sense is the fundamental fact that everyone dies at some time make it imporrisbole to ask so why not earlier. if the brain discards unused neurons, why shold society keep their equivalent The radical idea of treating individuals in a society as cells and the society itself as a well-organized organism is fascism, or course. Probably the most efficient and rationally stringent way of governance, if someone could pull it off in a sustainable way; and if it is aggressive and expansive, its efficiency makes it a virus that everybody will want to stomp out. Fascism makes romantic doo-gooders like me very uncomfortable (I visited KZ Buchenwald five times and it had a profound influence on me; we East Germans inoculated ourselves very thoroughly against fascism), and the general public will not be willing to consider it.

The latest Honkai Star Rail quest didn’t have a lot of direct, specific commentary on the current political environment of the world but this description tucked away in the in-game resource bank has me thinking

(Spoilers for latest Honkai Star Rail update)
Screenshot of in-game text: Lord Ravager: Irontomb Unlike other Lord Ravagers, Irontomb's invasions require no physical presence, leaving behind almost no eyewitnesses. Its presence is inferred from the ruins of devastated civilizations: technology turns into viruses, worlds plunge into darkness, and everything deemed "advanced" becomes a cold grave. It only appears in highly developed worlds. Some Intellitron theorists believe Irontomb is the inverse of the Erudition, a reversal of all calculations and logic. Its "Destruction" resembles a phenomenon more than aesthetics: a corruption and subversion of inorganic logic, a collapse of all intelligent behavior. In the Amphoreus incident, this Lord Ravager is confirmed to be the ascended form of Scepter б-me13 and nearly destroyed the Path of Erudition. However, under the resistance of the Trailblaze and the heroes, Irontomb's hatred logic was overwritten, and the virus that swept across the stars was turned into harmless blank memes.

Enjoying the cozy dress up/Paris life simulator side game portion of this Pokémon game. It’s really making me want a full-scale high budget open world game set in modern Paris with mostly positive/fun vibes.

The French: always ready to inflict some pain and social unrest
Stock photo of stereotypical French man: wearing a red beret, a white shirt with horizontal black stripes, black pants, and a black scarf with a cartoonish painted on thin mustache curled on each end with a little soul patch on his chin.

One thing’s for sure, Rufo’s score didn’t even come close
Twitter screenshot: allyourbase @reverendshamil Christoper Rufo doesn't know how SAT scores work. He thinks a 2140 score is 89th percentile (2140 divided by 2400), when it's actually 97th rank percentile. Christopher F. Rufo @realchrisrufo - 8h EXCLUSIVE: I have obtained Zohran Mamdani's full Columbia file, which reveals his SAT score and might explain why the elite mayoral candidate falsely claimed to be "black" on his college applications. christopherrufo.com/p/zohran-ma... 1:42 PM • 7/7/25 • 462 Views 01 M 125 014 Meridian @MeridianMindset. 7h Holy shit he just divided them? 01 27 1. 90 allyourbase @reverendshamil • 7h Looks like it

Just looked it up, apparently according to his biography his score was 1400 which would make his score higher according to the conversion tables
Table converting 2400 point SAT scores to 1600 SAT scores Conversion Between the 2400-Point SAT and the New 1600-Point SAT To use this chart, find your old scores from the 2400-point SAT. These may be from an official SAT you already took, or from practice SATs that still used the 2400-point scoring scale. Locate your score on the chart, under the "Old Score" column. Then, look at the number immediately to the right of that score (under the "New Score Conversion" column). That is roughly the score you'd receive on the new SAT with its 1600-point scale.

Finished Harvestella, which everyone says was marketed “incorrectly” as a farming sim, but I think the farming sim premise of the marketing was part of establishing the meta narrative of the game and gets players to think about the urge to retreat to cozy games and farming sims in dark times
