"Why not film a scene from The Odyssey by going to a foreign land, without the permission of the indigenous people, and leave a giant mess?" This is irony worthy of Sophocles; if only there was a famous text that warned us not to do that!

This is not sustainable. Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics. We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.

I believe that net worth is directly correlated to how hard a person works. That's why I think Elon Musk today works ten times as hard as Elon Musk was working in 2020. (this post is sarcasm)

New from @senatebudget.bsky.social : as of the end of April, ICE and CBP still have $100 billion left over and completely unused from the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Congressional Republicans are in the midst of trying to provide another $69 billion to ICE and CBP despite this.

“He raped me.” “Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” “She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.” Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.

There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files. It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release. Not long ago, the DOJ declared there was nothing to investigate. You are witness to the most blatant coverup in American history.

Sexual assault survivors are seeing politicians and TV personalities fall over themselves trying to obfuscate the horror of what Epstein did. Turn cartwheels to protect his powerful cronies. Imagine the message that sends to them. Now imagine why sexual assault survivors don’t come forward.

Snake-in-the-Box Problem xkcd.com/3125/
Comic. A snake slithers around a hypercube. No two non-consecutive parts of its coils can be on adjacent corners. [Three small 4-dimensional hypercubes showing disallowed options with one large cube with snake wrapped around it. Dimensions = 4. Max Length - 7.] Snake(N) = Longest snake that can fit in an n-dimensional hypercube. Snake(N=1, 2, 3…8) = 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, 26, 50, 98. Snake(N>8) = UNSOLVED. [caption] It turns out every scientific field has a key thought experiment that involves putting a cute animal in a weird box for no reason. So far, quantum mechanics and graph theory have found theirs, but most other fields are still working on it.

Happy 60th birthday to the Voting Rights Act! This guarantee of voting rights to minorities was repeatedly reauthorized over the years by Congress. In recent years, voter suppression has resurfaced. Solidifying voting rights would seem to be an uncontroversial stance for Democrats nationwide.
