The study of the galaxies reveals a universal order and beauty. It also shows us chaotic violence on a scale hitherto undreamed of. That we live in a universe which permits life is remarkable. That we live in one which destroys galaxies and stars and worlds is also remarkable.

Not putting up with the gobshites & the crooks is a good start, Mr Polanski.

“I think the federal basic income program could be a nation-building program.”

We've seen study after study showing universal basic income works -- cheaper, more effective than current income programs. Doesn't disincentivize people from working. Reduces crime. Improves health. UBI now.

I recently ran across a letter about Bob Moog pitching his new-fangled modular to our university in 1964 (way before I was born). They bit & he installed it in a room with copper lined walls to shield it. In the 90s we rescued it from an attic, restored it, & I recorded part of my 1st thesis with it

Sweet.

'Copper Blue' was a major part of my early teens. For which, I am forever grateful.
