Wonder how you'd find Patterson Hood's latest solo album. I love it so much, and it's very different from DBT. Got to see him play down in Nashville, amazing

My sister, I had no idea. Definitely left for the mouse but knit right handed, tho with a twist (I think?), cause I hold the right needle mostly still while maneuvering the left one.

A mournful instrumental national anthem on the saxophone seems about right

Do you think Scrooge and Marley ever explored each other’s bodies?

Associated Press: millions will eat cranberry sauce on thanksgiving. But where do they come from?

When a sperm & an egg meet under certain conditions, it forms a zygote which spends a few days traversing the fallopian tube to then implant in the uterus as a blastocyst before spending ~40 weeks developing into a fetus that is then born then grows for a year or so before eating cranberry sauce

This shift to massive administrative salary costs and, relatedly, software and tech expenditures, came about as federal funding of higher education massively slowed, particularly after George W. Bush’s cuts in 2007–08. Fifty years of cuts to higher education have accounted for losses of between 30 to 50 percent of funding for some land-grant schools. Facing state austerity and a culture war on public goods, especially public education, state funding for higher education continues to decline, forcing public universities to rely more on private donors, who impart new controls on higher education professionals.

This paragraph is a terrific — and concise — summary of the confluence of events leading to the crisis in public higher education (from Lisa Corrigan, www.thenation.com/article/society/wvu-cuts... about the situation at WVU).

Police stage 'chilling' raid on Marion County newspaper, seizing computers, records and cellphones -... In an unprecedented raid Friday, local law enforcement seized computers, cellphones and reporting materials from the Marion County Record office, the newspaper's reporters, and the publisher's home.

It would be great if absolutely everybody can help this story go viral, and get higher-level media attention, to contribute to the social and legal utter annihilation of every cop, judge, and politician involved.
