I had a 1984 Mercury Capri 5.0 RS, which was basically just like the Mustang but with better ground effects. I could lay it down a first gear and chirp them in second period that car was amazing.

@philplait.bsky.social Phil, great piece. Love the analysis. Have you written anything on the perspective of our current physics β€˜light cone’ and this limiting our perspective regarding what we can empirically validate?

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Today I got enraged by a comment I saw. Someone had been studying Buddhism, but they were also a Christian. They are asked the question,
β€œCan I be Buddhist and a Christian?”
Someone answered,
β€œAbsolutely not. They are not compatible.”

YOU DON’T NEED PERMISSION. DO WHAT YOU WANT.
