You know, as many times as we've heard conservative whack jobs postulating that hurricanes and other natural disasters are punishments from God for (pick one: homosexuals, devil worshippers, ambisex bathrooms, ignoring the Sabbath, same-sex marriage, worldliness, materialism, hedonism, masturbation, NC-17 movies, music lyrics, shaved hamsters, pillow tag removal, etc.) I can choose to believe that God is now trying to take out Trump and DeSantis for contributing to the idiocracy.

We're at the hospital. It's hubs biopsy time. Please, please, please, send good vibes, prayers, positive thoughts.

Fellow game devs, electronic and 3D artists, ZBrush users:

Saw this and thought it was a pretty cool deal, just wanted to share:

Just loaded up CoSo to see how things are going.

I think I'm in an alternate reality.

The media is finally noticing how 'absolutely insane' Trump has become: analysis

Namely, that Trump on the campaign trail sounds, as Tomasky put it, "absolutely insane."

Nonetheless, he said that the Times' big Sunday feature on Trump's mental fitness was a definite step in the right direction.

Very few people make me want to throw my cup (or plate) at the TV, but somehow Tom Cotton makes me feel that way. Every. Single. Time.

To be clear:

Donald Trump is a bad guy.
JD Vance is a bad guy.
Vladimir Putin is a bad guy.
Viktor Orbán is a bad guy.
Kim Jong Un is a bad guy.
Bibby Netanyahu is a bad guy.
Elon Musk is a bad guy.
Rupert Murdoch is a bad guy.

Don’t let the bad guys win.

Vote Blue.



I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine
By Daniel J. Levitin

Music stimulates the brain’s ability to make new neurons, as well as new connections between them, “enhancing brain recovery, and normalizing the stress response.”

You might be huddled in a doorway on the make
or just getting by but I don't see it
You are my one shot at glory
Soon I will read in your expression
warmth, encouragement, assent
From an acorn of interest
I will cultivate whole forests of affection
I will analyse your gestures
like centuries of scholars
poring over Jesus' words
Anything that doesn't fit my narrow interpretation
I will carelessly discard
For I am careless I'm shameless and I am reckless
I am telling myself the story of my life


"We now live on a more violent planet than the one we left behind a few decades ago, the one we will look back on as peaceful, gentle, predictable. More violent, more unpredictable, more chaotic, more destructive, more dangerous."
