I came back to model kits, in part so control my bi-polar-ism; finish the damn thing before starting another. It works, sometimes.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

The bike detail is the whole war in miniature. Everyone here has a job, even the grandma with a ground drone in her care. An existential fight feels like this.

Wow. A Ukrainian lady rushed to help rescue a Ukrainian ground robot. She is incredibly cool. Note how she also hid her bike so it wouldn't be visible. God bless her. Ukrainians risk their lives because we are fighting an existential war. Source: 71st Brigade

And our government in the 1940s realized that building a nuclear bomb or developing a vaccine or going to the Moon could not happen without this basic research and became the heaviest investor in that basic research.

What basic research is in science: it is looking—for years—at the spit of toad, or the quiet collection of data over a child’s cough. I will explain it another way: it is the Lionel Messi of science. It is sitting back quietly and then all sudden: boom, a swift innovation that changes our lives.

A judge stripped community-integration protections from a federal disability rights regulation at the Trump administration’s request. Disabled Americans fought for decades for the right to live in their own homes and communities.

Now this administration is weakening the protections that make that possible. This follows a DOJ opinion challenging protections for community-based care and Trump’s push to institutionalize homeless people.

Disability advocates warn these changes could push more people into institutions by making the support they need at home harder to get. This affects children, adults, and elderly parents. Nobody should have to give up their freedom to get the care they need.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.
