Sly Stone is foundational to hiphop. At the Black Star show in Sydney Australia, Yasiin Bey and I paid tribute to Sly by doing a rendition of one of the best songs to sample him, Because I Got It Like That by the Jungle Brothers. Rest in peace Sly! #hiphopsky

If an innocent/wrongly accused man isn't going to be brought back - will imprisoning these congressmen as political enemies cause enough outrage that the El Salvador gulag is shut down? I honestly don't know. But it's going to be a long process - and we will likely need *some* fodder.

Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

#NASAWebb’s sunshield plays a vital role in protecting the telescope from light from the Sun, Earth, and Moon, which could overheat the mirror and its scientific instruments. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI. 🔭 🧪

Illustration depicting the two sides of the Webb Telescope. On the left, yellow arrow shapes indicate light from the Sun. The telescope is oriented so that the sunshield stretches vertically, blocking light coming horizontally from the left from reaching the mirrors. The left side of the telescope is colored red to indicate heat. This hot side is marked with a temperature of 185°F (85°C). It features labeled elements including a solar panel, communications antenna, computer, and steering: reaction wheels & jets. On the right, the telescope is colored darker. This cold side shows a temperature of -388°F (-233°C). It has labeled components like science instruments, detectors and filters, and mirrors.

I agree wholeheartedly. But I know the people that will want (and be qualified) for such teaching jobs. These people will demand better resources and uphold higher standards: support for parents, support **from** parents, admin w integrity. There is tremendous inertia ($$$) at play in the US.

To be fair, though, the US is also responsible for the creation of garbage like professional wrestling, reality TV. I think this left millions of adults unable to distinguish reality from that fantastical media content. Trump does represent that population well, unfortunately.

Wishing that the new year brings you as much joy as this picture of Ruby chomping on ice. 🦦🧊 Sea otters are one of the few marine mammals that can drink seawater—thanks to their otterly impressive kidneys, which filter out excess salt! Still, most of their hydration comes from the food they eat.
