I took a Physics for Non-Science Majors taught by a retiring physics professor who just want to share his love of his field with non-engineers.

It was great and 80% got you an A. No tests, no math. Just 5 question quiz + trivia question on Fridays.

It's difficult to overstate the degree to which the GOP and the mainstream American right have been taken over by socially and emotionally stunted and malformed losers.

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

this is I think the fourth or fifth time they've gassed a neighborhood, not counting the neighborhood around Broadview

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 11h

A confrontation between community members and militarized federal agents appears to be unfolding on Chicago's southeast side, near the intersection of E. 105th St and S. Ave. N.

Details still emerging. From what I've seen federal agents have deployed at least one can of some kind of gas.

He deserved to grow old. He deserved the space to be more creative and share more art w/ the world. He deserved to be adorned in praise while he was still able to receive it in the physical. Luckily, music and spirit is eternal.

Fuck man. D'Angelo.

My friends three doors down in the dorm played "Lady" all day every day at top volume for weeks. That bassline will forever be burned into my brain.

Step 1: disband ICE
Step 2: give ICE's entire bloated budget to the IRS
Step 3: record white collar crime task force kicking in penthouse doors and macing unresisting billionaires
Step 4: one hundred years of Dem reign

i don't really listen to much streaming music, but subscribing to spotify in 2025 is completely mystifying to me. it's predatory, they've destroyed whole industries, they played a huge role in Rogan and all he's wrought ...
