You are not recalling correctly. I don't know if there was permission for the original day but people were there for a couple of months and had to be forcibly removed by the police.

The people who put together Occupy didn't know what they were doing. They didn't have strong delineated goals and didn't partner with organizers. That doesn't mean that they were all trust fund babies. That's just something someone wants to shut down all conversation.

Thanks for clarifying. Growing up Reform, I someone's didn't realize I got some softer versions of some of the stories (e.g. Hamen's sons) and legit considered this to be maybe just the Conservative version of the song for the first few verses.

That the AWS outage knock down effects shocked so many people tells me that science fiction should be part of the primary school curriculum. I don't know one self-professed nerd (as we were called back in the day) not say something like "I thought that might happen" when the news hit.

I've heard many men say "we're pregnant" when their partner is expecting but I've never heard anyone say "I will discount anything you have to say because you're using language in a way I don't like."

OMG, Yale is doing a study on misophonia. I just signed up. It won't provide any relief to me, but at least there is research being done.

They've been doing this for years. I sent a small donation to one person about 6 years ago and it took almost 2 years to clear my email from the spam I ended up getting. I haven't used them since.

Love me some good news. Thanks for sharing.

Done. I may not be able to subscribe just now but I can certainly amplify.

Apex Magazine is a digital science fiction, dark fantasy, and horror magazine that *pays their writers*. They don't expect any of their creative to work for free and this is how they do it (and subscriptions). If you have the means, here's the link.

Isn't that like saying bullets aren't harmful (unless you shoot them)?

Package of Dr Pepper flavor/branded Peeps. On a metal shelf.

Counterpoint: I get some variety, but some things are so niche as to seem preposterous.

Kids LOOOOVE to learn to spell their names. I assume that parents who do this want their kids to get a head start in life by knowing more letters.

Great kid's show called Voyagers where the protagonists went around history (using a wonky time traveling pocket watch) to fix history.

Sorry if like a non sci-fi precursor to Quantum Leap.

I already knew who Harriet Tubman and Mark Twain were but it introduced me to Clara Bow.

Oh I wish I were already there
Instead of here
Play-ing this song

Might it might not be the issue here: some Christians don't realize that X is for "Christ" and get really upset that you are (to them) making their faith into a slur. Comes up mostly around Xmas.

I am "I miss Palm Pilots years old."

Well women are the ones being targeted here but this seems to me to be the same phenomenon that leads men to eventually follow Andrew Tate. People falling for the illusory truth effect isn't because they are addled brained but because they are human brained.

Yes. And it's "fun" thinking about the obvious things we don't notice in our own lives/families/communities until someone comes along and says wait a minute.

*had*

Notice and not notice at the same time. Didn't Buffy win an award for being the reason their graduating class at Sunnydale High have the lowest mortality rate in their entire history?

Now I have to start listening to country music.

There are so few of us that I normally do "the nod" when I see one. #StillMasking

Whenever I see an ad for Love is Blind, I get disappointed all over again that it's not about blind people.

"Let's just say it's 20% of people on Medicaid...as a thought experiment" is where this interview should have stopped dead. No. If you are making policy because you think people aren't working enough, you should be making up numbers in your head to back that up.

Weren't these pre planned protests that had nothing to do with the synagogue attack?

Didn't think it thorough. May erase.

Rent controlled is not the same as rent stabilized. But I don't think you're dumb for not knowing the difference. Rent issues are intricate in nyc

Moving out of affordable housing when you start making more money isn't only onerous, but it would wreck neighborhoods. It would require people to leave their neighbors and support system just when they are in a position to help others.

I cannot imagine how bad Zohran Mamdani would have to be to inside me to vote for Andrew Cuomo.
