Yo, dawg, the key to thinking mathematically about curved shapes is to pretend they’re made up of lots of little straight pieces.

I have long suggested future philosophy 101 courses will have hypothetical debates as to whether or not it would have been a moral act to feed baby D to wolves.

The chest of a windbreaker, blue. There is a design that imitates the the studs of a Lego brick, as seen from above. On the right breast is a square, yellow patch emblazoned with a Lego head.

I try not to wear stuff that is so conspicuously labeled (I reckon baseball caps being the prime exception) but I do like my Lego-Adidas windbreaker

VANITY FAIR

Last weekend, Iran, one of the world's oldest, most storied civilizations, was attacked by two countries: the US, which adorably is about celebrate its 250th anniversary; and Israel, which is younger than Liza Minnelli.

I can’t believe they shut down the β€œrepublicans are weird” message. That is 100% true and seemed extremely effective.

Somebody asked β€œhow would Americans feel if they took the presidents off dollars”?

I think you should make a bid for the property and convert it into SABR headquarters.

Loved screenprinting for decades, maybe it time to learn so I can produce patriotic posters such as:

I have been excitedly telling anybody that’ll listen β€œdid you know wind is actually* an atmospheric vacuum that β€œsucks” as opposed to β€œblows”?

Then they dead-eye me as they flatly intone β€œwow”

Found this photo on the pocket computer. Taken on 3/13/2020, it must’ve represented the morass I felt we were trapped in, what with the world falling apart and a terrible human as the president of the United States. Fast forward six years and, … oh. Ah shit

A book cover of Octavia Butler’s β€œKindred”

Juggling a couple-three other reads at the moment, I am really looking forward to β€˜Kindred’ by Octavia Butler. I’ve only read Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents, but that was back in 2020 and I’m a bit embarrassed to say I haven’t read anything else since.

Was bummed there was no February MC here, but I found myself with hundreds more dollars. Funny how that works out.
