i am a bari hater and take no pleasure in reporting this but nellie does seem to have been on the up and up re epstein: she contributed reporting to at least one story on him (www.nytimes.com/2019/07/08/n...) and also specifically wrote about him emailing her (www.nytimes.com/2019/09/14/b...)

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW."

(Also, in case you were wondering, FUCK ICE)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

There’s an intensifying kind of threat to academic freedom – watchful students serving as informants Restricting academic freedom is often thought of in terms of universities telling professors what they can and cannot do or teach. But that isn’t the only scenario.

Students were encouraged to inform on their teachers... in the Soviet Union.

"A growing threat to #academicfreedom: Students who act as informants and police their classes and professors for signs of political incorrectness."

1. It’s mice 🧐
2. Sounds promising but have heard this tune before
3. I don’t know if you can reverse/cure late stage Alz
4. Prevention and early bio-marker detection seems more realistic
