Universal Basic Income would be nice.
But what about Universal Basic Mossy Haunted Cottage By The Lake, and shelves overflowing with books, exotic teas, and curious bones collected from the forest?

The Beauty Of Dark
The Beauty Of Dark YouTube video by The Beauty Of

Yea, with the subtitles. Between that & the time-travel plot (which makes PRIMER seem like an easy watch, lol) I loved it even more the 2nd time. IMO, an ultimate 'stick the landing' show that rewards the thinking viewer like few others. (hype video: youtu.be/CYz-RUe4HH8?... )

Can't think of another show that combines "being maybe 1 of he best shows ever" with "so many people haven't heard of/seen it" as well. Just re-watched & think it deserves waaaayy more flowers.

Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Pete Hegseth demands to β€œuntie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country.”

Donald Trump demands to use US cities "as training grounds for our military,” claiming β€œWe’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy.”

Fascism.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

#Palantir is one of #ICE’s top corporate collaborators, and by allowing Alex Karp and Peter Thiel to embed their technologies deep within U.S. government systems, politicians are selling out all of our privacy rights.

I don't know why this is so hard. Fighters winβ€”we see that over and over, because often it's *not* about their politics! Trump was perceived as a fighter!

The most effective way to reduce Trump as a foe is undermining his narrative as a tough guy... by fighting him.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just β€œcried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.
