What I learned from Prince and Muhammad Ali was that it’s possible to love yourself so much that everybody else does, too.

I would say every person living between the Mediterranean and the Jordan has the right to be governed by a sovereign government for which they have the right to vote. I am agnostic on whether that takes the form of one state, two, or a confederation. It is clear who has that right and who does not.

Forged From: field. You can sometimes find the real source in the email headers. You probably don't think about email headers, but there's a shitload more fields than From: and To: and Subject: with where and who and authentication info. In Mail on the Mac, you go to View->Message->All Headers

I think I first had one when I was 35. It's rare I get two within a month, but I hadn't had one in quite a while. Years. That said, I feel like there's always a disturbance near the focal point of the left visual field, and I try not to attend too much to it. As with tinnitus or phantom pain

It starts near the focal center, eye-shaped oval or just a flickering. Ovalish shape as it expands. By ten or fifteen minutes after first noticing, it’s expanded out of visual field. I figure it’s occipital lobe fuckery of some sort

People who get real migraines sometimes (often?) also get these

There should be a Moby Dick or Minutemen lyrics bot

Listen to the smart person below.

Buy new merch. Merch boy is adorable

The song is what it says it is: Lust For Life

Iggy Pop - Lust For Life Listen to Lust For Life on TIDAL

Continued happy bday wishes for Mr. Iggy Pop. I’ve gone through spells when driving where I put this on repeat and leave it. So many elements of what makes a song great: a great beat, a great hook, cryptic drug lyrics, immaculate production dropping out to what matters here and there, backup vocals!

wenn wir über einen anstieg von sexualisierter gewalt reden, müssen wir auch über soziale abhängigkeiten, armut und fehlende schutzstrukturen reden, weil sich genau dort entscheidet, wie viel spielraum menschen überhaupt haben, sich zu schützen oder gewaltbeziehungen zu verlassen. 1/

The Foundations occupy my sonic space every so often. Great AM pop

Ongoing visual migraine: the angular ribbon made of pulsating short rotating diagonal stripes, the ribbon, oval about 270° around the left focal area. Slowly expanding radii and ribbon width

No pain! Have had occasionally for decades. Had one while staying in OKC recently

Always trippy AF

Now they should do Wal*Mart and any number of vendors, too!

No it’s not! Must learn Perth. Must learn Perth. Must learn Perth

Also need to learn Chinese political regions

I’ve blocked and muted people I largely agree with. Sometimes it’s one thing that pisses me off (anti-Black, anti-Semitic, etc.) and sometimes it’s just style (they repost more than I care for, they’re pushing an agenda too damn hard). Blocking doesn’t imply animus: it implies ownership of my read

Hammond Cheese

Ooooh

I keep trying to put Perth on the northern coast of Western Australia. Doh!

Like, Larry and Jessica will be working late at a state school w/a quantum computing grant and just figure it out one night, and it’ll instantly change the world but instead of doing all the AI doomer stuff it just cures cancer in between obsessively producing plans for better bike lanes and parks.

Actually, the trigger was Brown v Board. It's fairly well documented

With All Apologies to Friedrich God is dead? Try the Poet is Dead. The Poet remains Dead and Academia has killed her. How shall we tell ourselves the mysteries, the killers of our own voice? What was pure and beautiful in line and word unformed has been bludgeoned to death, scorned by the critics pen; Their death is the cruelest deed done. Who will erase the ink stain from the page? Where is a blank page to start again? What joyous rhapsody? What solemn cacophony? Must we not be poets so we can simply rhyme? How shall we craft to order time? The Poet is Dead - no fanfare - no song - Terrifying freedom of what will come.

It was quick and painless

This poem is in dialogue with Nietzsche (from The Gay Science as best as I can remember it).

Poetry is as close to God as we may know and without it there is a collapse of a shared source of meaning.

#NaPoMo #NationalPoetryMonth #PoetrySky #Poem

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

Job alert! We are seeking a rodent in vivo electrophysiologist to work on coordination between anterior thalamus and hippocampus in rats using Neuropixels. Beautiful Scotland, leading university (Glasgow) and vibrant intellectual setting. Post is 23 months but hopefully extensible. Details here 👇

This is too good not to share. From Oklahoma State Meteorologist Gary McManus: "[C]heese is the elixir of the Gods, if the Gods worked as carnival ride operators."

You’d think they could use that new footage in their new movie

Why Sam Altman reminds me of Anton Chigurh To understand what the people building AI are really saying, it helps to spend some time with a man who kills people with a cattle gun.

I am not saying the guys running OpenAI are serial killers. I'm just saying the worldview they present, and the way they talk about their own actions, reminds me a lot of one of the most iconic serial killers in the history of film.

So many impeachments. So, so many impeachments need to happen before we can move forward.
