The Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the site of an anti-Jewish massacre not so long ago, has put up a Gofundme page supporting Christchurch’s mosques: https://www.gofundme.com/f/tree-of-life-stands-with-christchurch-mosques

The Fresh Pond Road #subway station on the M line, Ridgewood, #Queens

Little Egypt, on Fresh Pond Road in Ridgewood, Queens, is a restaurant, but it’s also a bit of a grocery store. So when they needed to raise some of the prices on their menu but didn’t want to go to the printer for a new batch of menus, they just made stickers like the ones they affix to cans of fava beans.

@piponfishing My favorite botany word is the leaf-shape term (Sir) Lanceolate: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e8/Leaf_morphology.svg/800px-Leaf_morphology.svg.png

Now that CRISPR is being used on human germ plasm, maybe universal high-quality health care is even more urgent?

Robert Wright and Jason Pontin talk about some intersections between tech and society: https://meaningoflife.tv/videos/41545

@doctorow @RogueNotary This will only happen to someone who’s already read what, 10? 20? NYT/WaPo articles in the current month without paying.

Maybe that’s you, but it isn’t the bottom 99% of the information economy.

@smays If I had Photoshop skillz, I’d find out how Trump and KJU would look with each other’s coiffures.

On the street in Manhattan, I just saw an East Asian guy with a Kim Jong-Un haircut. For the record, he was fatter than KJU.

@smays I'm from the Don't Show Me state.

Now that Michael Cohen has disclosed Trump’s misgivings about his own spawn, the outlines of a USA-DPRK deal become clear:

Trump adopts Kim Jong Un and sends Don Jr. to NK. Optionally, Ivanka and Jared go, too.
