What I seem to remember from playing this game back in the day was they were still figuring out the 3D thing, so you could cruise the camera all around the current level and just leave your character behind.

These are the accounts that made me toss her books. When I joined Shambhala, they showed me a recorded speech where Trungpa was clearly inebriated and called it “challenging” and “crazy wisdom.” They would regale us with stories about the Sakyong’s integrity right before Project Sunshine surfaced.

I was just arguing with a friend about Pema Chodron and the unfortunate legacy of Chogyam Trungpa; my friend countered that no one was perfect but they relayed truths, wheat from chaff, etc. Reminded me of the pseudo-Augustinian notion of dirty channels carrying clean water — same bad argument.

It’s interesting to me that she also mentions Stephen Porges and Gabor Maté. Porges and Maté and van der Kolk all show up at trainings for the Embody Lab; I know someone who attended one of their “conferences” at Kripalu. Of course the vibe was TEDx-ish, like receiving wisdom not challenging ideas.

Then there were the occasional universities and colleges that didn’t pay for the official MLA hotels, and you had to travel to some random nearby hotel for your interview. I still remember having to call up to the committees from the lobby phone to figure out what room they were in.

Yes I agree with you. Honestly I was surprised that I couldn’t find any mention of Mamdani in any Bowdoin communications — they for whatever reason stopped sending me the Bowdoin Magazine years ago (because I never send in money, who knows?) but I was dismayed his campaign didn’t get a feature.

Winterbloom Farm @winterbloomfarm.bsky.social · 06/11/2025

Thanks so much for sharing! Glad alumni are showing up in the comments. One of my classmates commented that Bowdoin can’t afford to look partisan, but regardless there are so many more ways they could have framed this.

Dang I killed my IG account. But as a Bowdoin grad, myself, I wouldn’t mind a cathartic read of scathing alumni comments.

As a neurodivergent person myself, this piece really resonated; it articulates well some troubling impressions I myself have been having regarding claims that LLMs can mimic “thinking.”

Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.

I’ve seen posts claiming this “truth” is evidence of dementia, but IMO that’s not the right frame. This is strategy. Since 2021, the right has been rewriting history, bending timelines, to connect their grievances (Covid) and conspiracy theories (Jan 6, censorship, etc) to the Biden administration.

It reads:

Brenda Perez said her husband was arrested this month by ICE agents on Chicago’s South Side while he heading to work as a mechanic. She eventually confirmed he was at Broadview when she saw him on a social media video shot outside the center.

In brief calls, he told her he couldn’t sleep because there were too many people to lay down. He reported going 24 hours without food.

“He would beg them for food and water because he was hungry and very thirsty and they would just ignore him,” she said, crying.

The United States is a threat to global peace and is actively dismantling any semblance of an international rules-based order through its own actions and its continued backing of Israel’s lawlessness. You can’t shout “peace!” after attacking a sovereign country in violation of international law.

About "nonviolence"— The definition of "violence" is not neutral. What counts as violence is determined by those who control public discourse. This is why police can terrorize people without it registering as violence, while the slightest act of community defense is framed as "violence." 🧵⬇️

The Trump Regime indicted a Congresswoman and a union president this week. It's not surprising that their thugs would forcibly remove a sitting U.S. Senator from a press conference. They're coming for all of us. Our only option is to resist and defy. Your privileges and power will not protect you.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

"As we showcase how Trump's hurting American families ahead of his joint address, Senate Dems are taking to bluesky. Nothing he says tonight will change how the Trump agenda favors billionaires and hurts families. We will keep fighting back against his chaos and lawlessness"
