Some time ago, Dr Mary Trump pointed out that her narcissist uncle was becoming aware of his own mortality and, being unable to concieve of a world without him in it, might decide to destroy it.

Congress needs to realize that HE HAS NO CONCERN FOR ANYONE BUT HIMSELF.

I love that DS9 & Voyager are 2 sides of the same thematic coin & contain their mission statements in their pilots.

DS9 is about how to coexist w/those w/different views. Voyager is about how to behave when you're the stranger.

both emphasize communication, ethics & empathy as survival tools.

Color photo of a man with brown hair and tan or brown skin, leaning against a very cool huge teal car. In his hands he’s holding a tiny white and ginger kitten that seems like it might be wearing a collar and leash but it’s difficult to tell for sure. Palm trees rise up in the background.

All the coolest dudes love kittens. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Close up on a very fluffy longhaired black cat with yellow eyes, crashed out on a grey blanket on the back of a sofa. There is one of its venerable grey paws visible amid the floof.

A turquoise colored river bordered by evergreen tree flows through the Canadian Rockies. Mountains can be seen in the distance and the sky is filled with white clouds with patches of blue sky.

If you want to distract from the Epstein Files, maybe don't name your act of war something that also has the initials E F.
Epstein Fury?
Epic Files?

a white bully mix with a large tan spot over his right eye lays on gray tile floor. the pup is wearing a plastic medical cone around his neck, he has a tube in his nose, and he has an IV tube connected to his front right leg. he looks at us with droopy eyes and a pink pout.

This is Bowie. He suddenly began experiencing intense vomiting and diarrhea due to acute gastroenteritis, the inflammation of the stomach and intestines. His case was so severe, he needed emergency hospitalization and IV therapy to recover. You can help pay for his care below β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

A classic black-and-white portrait photograph of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer, taken in a classroom or lecture setting. She stands in front of a large chalkboard filled with handwritten nuclear physics equations, nuclear mass data, and element symbols (including notations like I¹²⁹, Cr⁡², and various alpha, beta, and gamma values). Goeppert Mayer has a thoughtful, focused expression as she gazes upward slightly, with her lips pursed in concentration. She wears a patterned dress with short-sleeved matching jacket with a geometric black-and-white design, a pearl necklace, and her hair styled in soft curls. In her hands, she holds a wooden slide rule.

Theoretical physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer died #OTD in 1972.

She shared the 1963 #Nobel Prize in Physics (w/Wigner & Jensen) "for their discoveries concerning nuclear shell structure." She was the second woman to win a Nobel in #physics. (Who was the first?)

The job search is horrible for just about everyone but a huge chunk of the entire gaming industry lost their jobs and no one is investing in studios.

There literally aren't jobs. They're not coming back for a long time. Gaming isn't a viable career at the moment, and we need to internalize that.
