News about her generally irritates conservatives who go out of their way to criticize and mock her. So I while I am generally aware of her and admire her commitment to the environment, her ability to get press that annoys the conservative ultra capitalists who hate windmills and solar fields gives me joy. She just triggers them while never thinking about them.

Did you read her book? I have it on my TBR list but it is a long list. I usually like to read fiction but try to do a nonfiction/memoir in about every 3-4 books (I read about 5/wk which varies d/t length).

The CRISPR technology is more advanced than brain implants.

Not "The Matrix" -- we will just serve as batteries for someone's AI or Crypto farm while having/living in lucid dreams?

Technology and social media are entirely under regulated with basically no privacy restrictions. Look what DOGE has done to the entire American Federal agencies.. "Read-Only"-- As If. They just pirated all our information.

If only someone with some level of responsibility at Freightwaves bothered to google "tariffs" before donating and voting for the Tupperware face.

I just want to know.. Where The F... is the CIA when we really need them to protect the country? How is Tupperware Face still walking?

I definitely had/have undiagnosed something but I don't blame the drugs... those came after my lived experience being socially awkward, rocking to soothe myself and mostly daydreaming all day and forgetting homework existed. I can't imagine what my mother was thinking trying to comb out my rats nest hair in the morning. No wonder she had it cut really short.

DARE should have just told me that pot would just make me really sleepy and make me eat too much... causing an 8 lb weight gain overnight. That would have been enough. They should have avoided telling me anything about speed.

They should have just warned that acid would make you lose a few days. Shrooms will do that too but also land you in a bathroom for hours backandforth... was it just so much fiber??? I never experimented soaking them in hot water for a couple hours before ingesting like dried food mushrooms.

I did drugs before DARE. So, we knew they were full of shit. However it was the late 70s so we had legit caution about drugs that were administered with needles so avoided those... Then the cocaine era happened.

If only I had the technology. I would make an Arya Stark List.
