The normal reaction to this is to quickly move to the other side of the street, but not in a way that attracts the guy’s attention.

Artist Hitomi Terasawa drew a meticulous cross-sectioned rendering of Hong Kong's infamous Kowloon Walled City before it was razed in 1994. Now we have rare scans revealing the inner workings of the labyrinth-like metropolis.

The States Project is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options for your campaign donations. Even beyond it, though, state legislatures deserve your attention. Next time you're tempted to send money to whoever's going to lose to MTG, send it instead to a contested state leg seat.

Paralysis and overwhelm don't disrupt dangerous systems. That's one reason I believe even little actions that disrupt domination patterns and support life-sustaining patterns are important. Not because of their size but because of their direction.

Call them! Talk to them in person at the pharmacy that you are planning to go to. I had to call all over town to find a location that actually had Novavax despite the website saying that many locations had it - they didn’t.

It is deeply embarrassing that Trump is even allowed to run for office again, and that the race is close. I hope Trump loses, but that he was even allowed to run is a catastrophic, systemic failure. End of empire shit. What if we let Caligula's horse try for Emperor.

I have a Discworld question if you have the energy for it. My child is about to turn 17 & doesn't "really want anything" for his birthday. If I were to give him a Discworld book as an intro to the series, which one do you think it should be? 1/2

I don’t know what neighborhood you live in, but People’s Food Co-op (SE) still requires masks for the first two open hours of the day, from 9-11. That just means surgical for most of the shoppers but still….

There will be a lot of talk about Biden's age in the next few days, but let's be clear: Donald Trump just spent 90 minutes lying his ass off and demonizing immigrants. Then capped it by refusing to say he'll respect the results of the election. That is the substance of what we saw tonight.

They are going back even earlier, Marge Piercy wrote about this in Woman on the Edge of Time in 1977. Although they are doing it to people in a mental institution as well as in prisons in her book.

Hells bells! I am rereading Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy for the first time in many years, and this is literally what it is about. Except they are doing it in a mental institution. Torment Nexus indeed.

The Expanse maybe (after season one tho). I didn't like the police/detective slant in the first season but it changed after that. I agree with you, this is why books will always be better and why it is so hard for me to find any television that I want to watch.
