Implementing the Joint Warfighter Evaluation and rejecting applicants who bring an iced coffee to an interview are equally ineffective selection criteria.

I do not want it on my phone. I do not want it in my home. I do not want it in my brain. I do not want its supposed “gain.” Not in a book. Not “take a look!” Not in my art. Not any part. I do not want it here or there. I DO NOT WANT IT ANYWHERE.

My idea is not designing benches like the one you are sitting on that prevent people from laying down. Or is it lying down? Either way, your ideas are terrible.

A commentary on geography and technology.

A meme based on the 1998 movie Half Baked. On the left, guy says fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, fuck you. And he's saying it to mapping companies who renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America. Mapquest is the only one who did not, and they're cool.

A full day of philosophical debate from Tom on what it means to be FROM somewhere; a good read. As a college town resident, I agree that the transient population doesn't have a grip on local issues to the extent I want them swaying elections. * unless they vote to get rid of Flock cameras *

What Flight of the Navigator fans think of when we hear about Donny sneaking out in the chow truck.

David sitting on the floor looking at a large robot with a container built into it. In Disney's 1986 sci-fi classic, Flight of the Navigator, 12-year-old David Freeman escapes a heavily guarded NASA research facility by hiding inside a robotic trash transport cart named RALF.

I can’t believe folks stayed with Platner after seeing his cover up tattoo didn’t completely cover up his Nazi tattoo. Dead giveaway!

Just finished, and greatly enjoyed, Psych from @paulbloomatyale.bsky.social. I recommend it for anyone interested in psychology or philosophy. I think I’ll start a PhD in psychology.

The book cover of psych, the story of the human mind by Paul Bloom. The book cover is yellow and has several white puzzle pieces not connected.

The case Republicans make to end birthright citizenship is disgusting, but the case Democrats make to keep it is incredible thin - it’s mostly “Republicans bad and gross.” We must add depth about why this tradition, uncommon outside of the Americas, makes us special and why it should be retained.

Settling down for a nap while the Mandelbaum episode plays. I spent Father’s Day on a 9.5 hour round trip to attend the funeral for a friend’s father. The theme of the father’s life was “show up.” Show up for your family, your community, and your people. Keep showing up.

As a therapist serving people living around the poverty line, I gotta say things aren’t great. People are feeling the financial squeeze in ways totally unrecognized by folks in my middle class bubble. We aren’t anywhere near pitchforks and torches, but we aren’t trending in a positive direction.

A great read. Ms. Judge escapes from slavery 20 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, while in Philadelphia. George Washington unsuccessfully tries to find his slave. Wild.
