We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.
[Splurge about my position on this]
Social media as presented by large corporations like Facebook and TikTok is harmful for everyone, not just children. Adding age restrictions will just mean young adults are not prepared for the real world, and will amplify later harm. Not only that, but […]
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

I've made a point of going everywhere in the archaeology of the mid-to-late 1st millennium elite, ticking boxes, trying to become an unavoidable scholar. I've excavated a mead hall, a boat grave, a great barrow. I've written about gold bracteates, gold foil figures, jewellery and weaponry. I've […]

The most damaging episodes were the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which Miller was at the center of. During his 10am calls with immigration leaders, Miller was demanding agents be sent out to areas in Minneapolis where DHS knew there was a heavy presence of protesters to ‘force confrontations,’ two DHS senior sources told the Daily Mail. One official noted that Miller repeatedly urged agents to engage protesters so the administration could win the ‘PR battle.’ ‘Miller said on these calls, “If we let them have the perception that their protesting is successful, then the administration will never successfully prosecute interior operations to remove aliens,”‘ a DHS source recalled to the Daily Mail. ‘So we need to engage these protesters, and we need to vanquish them by force of arms. They need to be vanquished by any force necessary,’ Miller reportedly told immigration leaders, according to the source. Mere hours after a Border Patrol and ICE agents fatally shot Pretti, an ICU nurse, Miller called the victim an ‘assassin’ on social media. ‘This is why he f***ing needs to be fired. It’s absolutely nuts,’ another senior DHS official familiar with the calls told the Daily Mail. ‘He’s the architect of Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s deaths.’
Remember that the Daily Mail, in the most important of their big stories in the last week, described a DHS source calling Stephen Miller the architect of Good and Pretti's killings.
That story was March 28.

The Inside Story of 5 Days That Remade #SCOTUS
Secret memos obtained by The NYT illuminate the origins of the court’s now-routine “#ShadowDocket” rulings on presidential power.

Closeup of three pink and white magnolia blossoms that have just opened with a number of other deeper pink buds (a bit out of focus) that are just about to open. The leaves are floppy with many shades of pink and white and also have raindrops beading up on the petals. The magnolia tree is about 20 feet high and more than 30 feet across.
Further back to capture the whole magnolia tree, about 20 feet high and more than 30 feet across. Some of the pink and white magnolia blossoms have just opened with a number of other deeper pink buds that are just about to open. The open blossoms have floppy leaves with many shades of pink and white and also have raindrops beading up on the petals.
The magnolia buds opened and started blooming yesterday!

I have to say, publishing results as zero knowledge proof does have one benefit: it tricks security researchers into learning about quantum circuits. This is some amazing work!

Got another mastoscold yelling at me for "using the platform to promote" my photos.
For the record, I don't generally sell my photos, here or anywhere else. But even if I did, I fail to see why that would be a problem.
Preventing artists from making a living is a strange hill to want to die on.
In these days of data centers gobbling up storage you have to be careful how much space you use. But it's challenging on a Mac. I go to bed with 300GB of free space running an overnight process that I know will create a 2-3GB database. Yet this morning I have […]

A 6-petal, yellow tulip with some red blush in the interior is viewed from directly above. This perspective allows the black anthers and their black backgrounds to form a hexagon.
Since we’re apparently celebrating the first week of summer in the middle of April, I’ve been getting a ton of yard work done.
However, I did pause to take a photo of this tulip.

And it’s definitely 100% true that story would not have come true without my belief.
I think it’s essential to both be realistic AND create stories grounded in belief that something better is possible!
Many different things can be true at same time.

BHZKHR Aug 23, 2024 @ 4:30am why does everyone complain about 3 mods that make your life easier? you can just as well be made of complaints and you'd be the same. i dont care about what mods do, if mods are good or bad for achievements, i just want to get longer in survival.
it's extremely important that we not bulldoze language by yielding the expected mean to chat*** because language unlike most other things in this life is a thing where you can miss every target and still hit a bullseye

G ended the hand with a full house (pretty low odds playing a 7 card stuff game) and had ace of spades in the hole and won by winning two out of three. G ended up winning a big pot and all his losses last night were erased!
