Just amazing stuff out there. Like, I get that the average person misses most metaphor, but this *has* to be too on the nose, yeah?
This the same president of the same MIT that just announced it is closing 3 of its 4 libraries? Huh...
Definitely need to think through it more. It resonates with the vapidity of H+'s idea of morphological freedom, and this famous post... gah... I have too many other things to finish to start pulling on all these threads.
QTP with a game you would instantly buy if it got remastered/remade! ...but only if they finished disc 3.

This was a hell of a thing to look at first thing today. Probably shouldn't be surprising that this administration is so mad at girls learning things.
