When I was maybe 10, I wanted Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis more than anything. My mother, who is an attorney, said it was too violent. So in order to convince her, I built a strong argument and plied her with it non-stop. I would argue that I was a smart kid and all that crap about video games making you violent was garbage. The argument that finally won me my beloved MK was that she had let me watch RoboCop the year before, and I hadn’t gotten messed up by that. After that I was pretty much allowed to play or watch whatever.

It’s the earliest I can remember really forming a coherent argument with supporting facts and whatnot, and advocating for what I want. It’s a skill that would serve me quite well going forward. Well played, Mom.

I have Raycon Active buds. They’re great at staying in while sleeping or running or whatever. Kinda too expensive for the sound quality imo but the fit is really good, at least for me.

Yeah we basically never stopped fighting that war, it just went cold.

Did you have a rough recovery? I was sore for a few days but I thought it was a breeze, all things considered.

This made me very sad. I’m very privileged, I live in a dark sky community very near a big telescope and on the border of a huge desert. My dad’s really into astronomy, looking at the night sky has been a big part of my life. I lived for a bit in the city, and the sky was one of the things I missed the most.

It’s like the ocean, I suppose. Another thing that it seems impossible to me that people could go their whole lives and never see, but maybe most do.

I don’t have much faith they’ll care. A big part of their ideology is hurting women and children. It’s already well known he’s a rapist, he’s said as much himself. They famously don’t care about truth. I think absolutely damning evidence will come out, and they’ll move forward without much fuss.

Hey hey monkey man, you keep that shit on Earth.
