skill they don't tell you about when you get into physics: you're gonna get really good at drawing 3d shapes on 2d surfaces

"It's all triangles!" I say to myself as I draw yet another circle

please oh please for goodness sake, do not try to hyperoptimize your learning so hard you forget to take the time to actually learn.

friction in the process of learning is good actually! friction creates heat! heat boils water, makes steam, turns brain turbines!

trying to learn without friction is impossible, where are you supposed to stop? where are the places that you should linger more?

don't optimize away all friction!!

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

Tim Walz speaks in a blue jacket

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

A state senator from my home state was murdered by someone pretending to be a police officer. This is quite certainly the definition of domestic terrorism, don't you think?

President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.

Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

Fairly undeniable at this point that abolish ICE was always the only reasonable position

White Lotus Season 3 is paced like a tsunami, so I'm quite excited for tonight lol

A tortoiseshell cat has a silver orb in its back legs

winnie, no! not the demon core!!!!

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security?

We need answers. Right now.

If anyone ever texts me "We are currently clean on OPSEC 👊🇺🇲🔥" I'm gonna refer them to security immediately and get it over with

shoutouts to me specifically for officially becoming "not the worst Peter H from Minneapolis"

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth.

But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

Share the media.
The news is compromised.
We're starting to boil over.

boy, i sure hate that our current administration is embracing a neosegregationist, white supremacist movement in my lifetime

Continuing to get stronger 💪
