I don’t know why this incenses me as much as it does, but it does: we very likely have a thousand plus Mozarts *right now*. But they make non-Western art in economically destitute conditions so they have to do other work to pay bills; if you cared, UBI’d be more important to you than going to space

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk say human population not nearly big enough: ‘If we had a trillion humans, we would have at any given time a thousand Mozarts’

“I think in a lot of these endeavors we're very like-minded,” Bezos said of himself and Musk regarding getting humans into space.

I think innocent children dying in natural disasters is a lot worse than publicly criticizing government officials in charge of preventing innocent children from dying in natural disasters for failing to save innocent children from natural disasters. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

A 1940s Superman radio serial exposed true secrets of the KKK. 1950s posters showed him calling bigoted bullying "un-American." He's always been this way. It's in the essence of the character: He is both rural and urban, both an orphan and a beloved son, both alien and American, all at once.

The Trump administration really did grab and imprison a Tufts student without due process because they didn’t like an op-ed she wrote in the Tufts student newspaper. That is the entirety of their “case” against her, their own lawyers admitted it in court, and a federal judge found they violated 1A.
