seriously, can anyone give me a reason why reporters refuse to express huge budget numbers, that they know are meaningless to their audience, in a context that makes them understandable -- such as a percentage of the budget? I NEVER get an answer to this question.

If every budget number was presented as a percent of budget, percent of GDP, and percent of 10 year GDP, a large fraction of the population would have a pretty good understanding of the relative sizes of these items and budget proposals pretty quickly

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.
A poster on 8.5 x 11 inch paper saga Fishtown fish facts: red lipped catfish or of ocephalus Darwini. Then a pic of that freaky fish with 4 limbs it rests on the ground and then the words “stg this fish real red-lipped batfish walk ocean floor with they flippers RLBF have RBF, not they fault RLBF have a bioluminescent lure that glows to attract dinner RLBF lipgloss is popping, RLBF lipgloss is cool, all the fish keep jockin, they chase RLBF after school RLBF got scales like armor and shine bright like a diamond Red-lipped batfish will teach you how to dougie, I can promise u that. @yaboyni Take a moment And and realize the moment You took has already passed Thank you See you next time

working on so much new writing but in the meantime you should buy my debut because 100% of my royalties go to abortion funds, which is part of what makes it a beautiful holiday gift xoxox

I wrote about why MAHA especially hates the hep B vaccine in this article.

Basically, they believe "good" women don't get hep B, and so there's no need to vaccinate babies for it.

“Art should look like the rest of our culture,” says Frida Kahlo of the Guerilla Girls. Otherwise, “it’s not really history of art, it’s a history of power.”

I have a look at the timely Guerilla Girls show the Getty for Art Insider for @kcrw.com:

An installation view of a museum gallery shows a large-scale Guerilla Girls collage that features Ingres's "Grand Odalisque" wearing a gorilla mask.

From Stoppard’s Arcadia:
We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it. The missing plays of Sophocles will turn up piece by piece, or be written again in another language … You do not suppose, my lady, that if all of Archimedes had been hiding in the great library of Alexandria, we would be at a loss for a corkscrew?
