"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.

Listening to Ripely Pine by Lady Lamb on my way to and from Jersey, and wow, this is honestly one of my favorite albums. Yknow when you realize that? Like a perfect album for you, one that you think sounds timeless and out of time? It just swells with such sound and sensuality, I cannot get enough

When we turn over reading, writing, analysis, and data collection to the machines are we still scientists? Who does the thinking? An unembodied statistical program with no lived history or experience in the world, nor lived knowledge of society’s needs? Is that thinking? Is that science?
