SPEAKING OF MUSIC: I just put together an 8-minute bit of trance-y electronica derived from a NASA recording of data from Juno as it did a flyby of the Jovian moon Ganymede. You know, like you do. It's here if you want to check it out:

A simple question for all those protestors that waste their time turning up to pride parades ๐Ÿฅฐ

The very worst possibility of Trump's betrayal of America:

In Oct 2021, CIA Counterintel warned that an unusually high number of US spies were being killed, captured, or compromised.

In Jan 2021, Trump stole documents on these kind of informants - and may have shared them.

The reason why inanimate objects are used in slogans about humans is to make people more comfortable using them casually.
โ€œStop the boatsโ€ is not for those who have no problem being hostile to others based on race or creed. It is for those sitting on the fence of overt prejudice.

Ah, gotcha. I was not familiar with the term in this context. Once again I am learning of a known, labelled trait that is me all over. It is something I have been gently (usually) mocked for my entire life.
I infodump and on things of concern I insist on it. When Dad was in hospital & had a sundowners episode I went to nurse station & said "Get me someone who can tell me everything there is to know about sundowners."

What role does sex play in the lives of my #ActuallyAutistic comrades?

I can't find where this thread started but I think I get the gist of the topic. I have (politely) grilled my various specialists, & dad's when he was alive, for detail & context; they have always been responsive & appear to enjoy it. I "justify" my inquiry with "I'm an engineer; I find the human body fascinating." That generally shifts them into professorial mode & I get what I seek - detailed understanding of their diag, Rx.

The Custard-filled Binbag takes his leave of the political stage with the predictably blimpish gracelessness of the golf club drunk being told to put his trousers back on.

If you know someone who's just now taking n95 and kn95 masks seriously again, here's a couple of reminders:
1) projectn95.org is a searchable database of masks which can be delivered right to your house.
2) 3M reusable n95-p100 respirators are available at hardware stores.

Isn't it great to wake up on a day that Pat Robertson didn't?
