Page from "A Light in the Attic" by Shel Silverstein. At the bottom is a drawing of a kind put a piece of paper into a machine with gears and buttons. Above that is the following poem: The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine, Most perfect contraption that’s ever been seen. Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime, Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds time, You homework comes out, quick and clean as can be. Here it is – “nine plus four?” and the answer is “three”. Three? Oh me … I guess it’s not as perfect As I thought it would be.
Very weird that the answer to "which #scifi author predicted 21st century technology best" might be Shel Silverstein...

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

I am really angry about all of the scientists who cozied up to Epstein even after it was known who he was.
I am nearly as angry at how many people are justifying this as "they had to, it's how academia works"
NO IT FUCKING WELL ISN'T
Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.
