It’s the Keiō Special Express service bound for Takaosangushi, showing how a competent railway can thread express and local services with 20 minute frequencies. So. Many. Trains.

Aw, Brit Hume always reminded me of Dopey Dog...
As Brit Hume says, when Pete Hegseth says he "has the back" of Admiral Bradley, he means he's plunging a knife into it.

THIS is what my wordy threads are trying to get at.
Rebirth comes from grappling, recognizance, re-devotion, effort. And everyone is too deep in how our parents dealt with fear to do a damn thing about it.

Everybody seems to be at the "what's the point?" Stage of a shared psycho-spiritual/existential crisis. The "death" side of a rebirth cycle, usually. But you only get to the rebirth side by putting the work in and we aren't even at the stage where enough people understand what's going on to do that.

When I talk about crowdsourcing bigotry, this is what I mean. The OU case is an anti-trans campaign, full-stop. Confected outrage generated by a well-funded group of elites (far-right GOP) applying pressure to other elites (university admin).
For my newsletter, I wrote about that college essay scandal that's gone viral and what everyone is seeming to miss:
It's about ATTACKING TRANS PEOPLE!!!

That Viral Essay Scandal is (SURPRISE!) Actually About Trans People
A shoddy Oklahoma University essay went viral. Cis people think this is about conservatives whining for better grades. Trans people see a planned attack on a trans academic.

For the first time a U.S. county is making their guaranteed income program permanent.
The Cook County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved $7.5 million to continue its guaranteed income program.
Each month over 3,000 households will get an unconditional $500.

Potential broad-spectrum antiviral. Shows efficacy against some of the worst shit. Utterly amazing news.
We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.
