One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

"I see you have a new sword," the swordmaster said. "May I have a look?" "No," said the student. "It is a cursed blade. I would only draw this in dire need." "What kind of curse? Must draw blood, or will betray you?" "It will speak, and tell an embarrassing truth about both wielder and opponent."

“It isn’t clear from the documents why Brunel ultimately kept quiet. What is clear is that Brunel didn’t cooperate with prosecutors and Epstein remained free for another three years… After Brunel stopped negotiations, he wasn’t arrested and prosecutors didn’t pursue him further.”

“Jean-Luc Brunel was ready to turn on the man who had been his patron... The French modeling scout was prepared to tell prosecutors what he knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking. Brunel was secretly negotiating in 2016 with lawyers representing Epstein’s victims… And then Brunel went dark”

This is from an opinion piece that I have a lot of thoughts on, but I have to say, this particular line of thinking really puzzles me. The US has done universal HBV vaccination of newborns since 1991—35 years ago. It is literally older than me. Is this really not enough time to have confidence?

They'll take a huge dump on anything that is good or works well.

As America celebrates its 250th birthday, Colorado marks its 150th, or sesquisemiquincentennial. It's a challenge for news anchors directed by their producers to say sesquisemiquincentennial.

Guy who’s job it is to come up with airplane part names: “So, the area the pilot sits in, the area with the controls and the seat. We’re going with COCKPIT.” Sorry, what? “Cockpit. It’s reminiscent of a pit one might see cocks fighting in” Ohhkaay. And this controller thing? “Joystick” Right.

NBC hyped the Quad God over so much, we all hated to hear it said. He cracked under the pressure. NBC gave Amber Glenn a long promo with her war paint, and she also cracked under that pressure. They need to let them just be until they are done.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

I nominated several students to attend the ULW while at UWM, and about five of them were selected to attend. All raved about their experiences, and it helped them figure out what they wanted to do next. Even if it comes back in 2027, I grieve for this year’s juniors who won’t be able to participate.
