Our nation's summers of riots are caused by our nation's winters of delay -- Dr. King

I used to wanna get the chance to show the world I’m smart (Ha)
Isn’t that dumb? I should’ve focused mostly on the heart
‘Cause I seen smarter people trample life like it’s an art
So bein’ smart ain’t what it used to be, that’s fuckin’ dark
You ever notice that the worst of us have all the chips?
It really kinda takes the sheen off people getting rich
Like maybe rich is not the holy ever lovin’ king of nothin’ fuckers
Know we know you’re bluffin’

I've coined a term for my son's incessant yammering about KSP: kerbal diarrhea

How Much Do We Need The Police?

For many Americans, it goes without saying that the police help maintain public safety. But many others — especially black Americans — see the police as more of a threat than a protective force.

I've been watching Broadchurch with subtitles on, not because I can't understand David Tennant's Scottish wharblgharbl, but because I can't understand David Tennant's wharblgharbl with the air conditioning on. Anyway, I've noticed that every time someone says something like half nine the subtitles show it as 9:30, which isn't what was said. It bugs the shit out of me. It's subtitles, not translation. WTF?

Pink oysters from a plastic jug.

I got the new hose timer dialed in just in time for a really nice cluster of blue oysters (P. ostreatus).

After a long wait, I got my end of a reddit trade. Two vials of "black pearl" oyster mushroom spawn. It's a Japanese hybrid between European and Asian P. ostreatus varieties, which supposedly has a lot of the qualities of king oysters, though it's not a true P. eryngii.

It's been over 90F here for a few days and they were pretty warm inside the envelope, so hopefully they haven't baked to death. I put a single grain on agar, emptied the rest of the vial into a jar of sterilized oats, and stashed the remaining vial in the fridge. Keeping my fingers crossed. If this is viable it brings my culture count up to 19. I may have to wait until fall to get a good crop of these, though. I believe they prefer cooler temps.

To comprehend would-be totalitarians requires understanding their view of themselves as victims. And in a sense, they are victims—of their delusional fear of others, the nebulous, menacing others that haunt their febrile imaginations.

The univeristy I work for is "pleased to announce" a new voluntary furlough program to reduce costs. If you sign up, you:
* lose pay
* lose retirement contributions
* do not accrue PTO

And in return you get:
* nothing

Assuming this is an attempt to save off involuntary furloughs, I'd think they'd want to add at least minimal incentives. This is all carrot and no stick, and you're being asked to sign up for the stick. Needless to say, I won't be volunteering.
