There’s something about the first week of September when the afternoon sunlight is just perfect.

Light clouds and blue sky, a creek, trees, and sunlight.

I’m starting to think Defense Secretary Hegseth considers Jack D. Ripper the good guy in “Dr. Strangelove.”

"Dr Strangelove"
General Jack D Ripper:
"It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?
A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.
Certainly without any choice.

That's the way your hard core Commie works."

I get that part of NPR’s mission is to interview and report on significant trends. I listened to this interview with dismay, though, that NPR let this theocrat expound his gay-hating, anti-women, bigoted views. I decided to screenshot instead of link so as not to perpetuate his views.

Screenshotted NPR page for interview with Christian nationalist.

In other news, I found an Iraqi restaurant to eat lunch at today. I had the chicken tikka, with roast veggies and garlic sauce, plus lentil soup and some fluffy sesame bread. Excellent food.

I think this line captured an important point. I get the sense that the leadership in many institutions is out of step with faculty and academic needs and are ill-suited to the role of resisting.

Quote: “If America’s university presidents believe that their foremost responsibility is simply to keep their institutions operational — collecting tuition and protecting endowments — they are mistaken. “

The city of Buffalo. The looping structure to the left is the new Bills’ stadium under construction. On a clear day you can see Niagara Falls from here (too hazy today).

In just two minutes on the job, SkyNet has raised our nuclear alert level higher than ever before. But many in the defense department say its actions are concerning to all humans, not just those on the other side.

Started playing Cyberpunk 2077. Steep learning curve, but a lot of fun so far. I love that I can make people’s heads explode just by looking at them hard enough.

“The Adventures of Superman” (1950s) meets Baldur’s Gate 3. Well, that game just got a lot easier, unless the Netherstones are made of kryptonite or something.

Finished Mass Effect 3 today. Good story and worldbuilding overall, as well as development of characters. And despite some of the online commentary, I did like the ending.
