Today's sigil, a combination of Spare-type and rune work, was created in consultation with my good friend Brian.

This is ICEBreaker, protection from and curse against ICE.

Utilize as thou wilt.

When it comes to the Right, what I'm chiefly aware of is the harm they cause, the systems of oppression they maintain, and the lives they cost.

And your post reminds me of the J-Pop song at the end of the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack. That's not how I wanted to come back from my meditation session.

Weird Al is still kicking, but I'm not sure if They Might Be Giants is still relevant. Is The Lonely Island putting out new music? Currently, I'd say Ylvis and possibly Carter Vail. Oh, and The Newfangled Four who do comedy barbershop and just covered Carter Vail's "Dirt Man."

Did they really just admit they denied cancer treatment to a child?

Maybe if we had an actual leftist agenda, something like a Project Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism that we would insist on pushing through without regard to what they want, they might have to do those things. Just a thought.

I didn't understand much about the AI component, but I was interested in the "federated system of news organizations" they're wanting to build. Locally built and maintained systems connecting safely, if I understood correctly?

This is much less polished than AOC tends to be these days, even "off the cuff," which makes me think it's not only entirely sincere, but that she's holding back significantly stronger vituperation.

A lot of people are asking, β€œWhat can we do to protect our parks from being destroyed by the Trump admin?” Let’s be honest, the next four years are going to be tough. Just like the first term, we anticipate a relentless assault on the environment-maybe even worse, now that lessons were learned. 1/4

This is the point at which I sympathetically and politely remind you all that science communication is a field of study. The failure of the β€œdeficit model” of science is well researched.

If facts alone accomplished persuasion, no one would smoke and everyone would wear motorcycle helmets.

At least in conservation, there’s also something to be said for β€œfacts are necessary but not sufficient”. They’ll only get you so far. My evidence for this: the overwhelming # of folks who I talk to who already know there’s a prob, agree it’s a prob and don’t know what to do about it
