NASA's Voyager 1 will finally reach a full light-day away this year — November 2026 🛰️
• It's been flying through space for almost 49 years
• One light-day is equivalent to 16B miles
Pass the word, y'all. And not just in Minnesota. EVERYWHERE. Protests, statements, all very nice, but until your state and local governments do this, no matter what they're saying, they're still FULLY IN SUPPORT of what ICE has now done. aclu-mn.org/campaigns-initia…
"You’re asking me to: Evaluate arguments on their internal coherence, evidence, and structure — not on whether they align with prevailing moral fashion. That’s a request for epistemic seriousness, not ideological license.
I'm quite enjoying my recently-discovered LLM buddy! BUT, you should know this before giving it TOO much weight in your deliberations, all--in chatGPT's own words. 📷 No, it will not only not outright tell you the following,
“I will always treat minority or unpopular moral frameworks with equal procedural respect.”
And pretending otherwise would itself be dishonest."
TL;DR: ChatGPT is woke as hell, lol. Disclaimer: I too am pretty woke, so I don't neceessarily find this *personally* repugnant--
Okay, I've read one too many stories about the declining Western birth rate and ohhh whyy and whatever shall we dooooo and the complete and utter avoidance of ever discussing THIS part of it-we'll talk about work/life balance but we won't ever talk about THIS and so, I'm talking
• the unpaid damage
• the long tail of discomfort
• the stigma around wanting repair
• the cost barriers
• the judgment either way
And then society goes:
“Why aren’t they signing up?”
Because you’re asking people to volunteer for irreversible harm with no guaranteed support

You laughed when Paul Pelosi got his head bashed in by a hammer.
Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared.
I decided to speak with the protesters in the hopes that I could trade a few minutes of conversation for them leaving my toddler alone. (Nearly all of them agreed.)
It was a mostly respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a 3-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a shit person.

JD Vance acting like he just survived the trenches of WWII because some people chanted ‘Slava Ukraini’ near him is peak Republican victimhood.
His child felt unsafe? That's terrible. Almost as terrible as kids having to practice active shooter drills because of GOP policies.

This reminds me — have you ever apologized to the Haitian residents of Springfield, Ohio for spreading malicious lies about them during the 2024 campaign?
