if Eliezer Yudkowsky was born into a somewhat poorer family and missed a couple lucky breaks, he’d have ended up as an archetypal specimen of your friend’s older cousin who keeps boa constrictors and makes you listen to him talk about quantum physics in his parent’s basement in exchange for weed

incredible: just two states that haven't reached the $6/gal mark for diesel, but they'll likely join today, making it all 50 states that have diesel prices >$6 per gallon. Texas and Oklahoma clinging (for now) at $5.98 and $5.99, respectively. come on in, the water's boiling!

Today you're going to see a lot of tributes and assessments of Gloria Steinem (I thought this one very good: www.thecut.com/article/glor...). You'll also see some people raising her involvement with the CIA, and others ignore it. (That obit doesn't even mentioned it.) What was that about?

I had the privilege a couple months ago to meet Gloria Steinem at her home for a gathering on maternal health. She was up there in years but still warm and delighted to be sharing her space for women to converse and do the work. May her memory continue the feminist revolution.
