Currently working on a new essay. This one is going to be...out there. There is a reason this album has haunted me since 2015. Each new layer of understanding only reveals multiple layers of new questions. Lupe called it Hip-Hop as high art. Stay tuned. #HipHopSky #RapSky #Music
Per the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Seriously, who are these three?
Sometimes it's hard for me to engage with people about climate science if they have never looked at a Bretherton Diagram.
For a great introduction to the late 60's to early 70's rainbow coalition, I recommend this book, which provides an excellent history of all three orgs, and their struggles and successes in organizing together.
Even from a standpoint of modern society, he's wrong. Hierarchy is a relatively new cultural invention, and it is far from inevitable. Looks like I am revisiting this book sometime in 2026 😫
Anyone saying nothing of material happened because of the Trump/Mamdani press conference. Not true...🤣
Bill Gates is MAGA. Not only in rhetoric, but also in association (Epstein). Gates is now just another billionaire who is curtailling his rhetoric to appease the MAGA overlords. That or he is delusional. Again, he is not a scientist but MAGA doesn't trust scientists anyway.
Welp I guess time for a face reveal. That said I don't have the hair anymore lol. This was age...24? Glad I cut it though. I would wake up every morning with it in my mouth 😅
Remember this tweet from @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social back in 2020 when he decided to stomp on the graves of progressive democrats running primaries against his fellow establishment shills? Remember this when he votes in favor of the Charlie Kirk bill, capitulating to MAGA for the upteenth time.
There is no way Tariq Nasheed knew this detail when he posted this...right? Right? 😫
When I read something like this near the end of the essay, it agitated me because the questions above were never taken up...not even glanced. Modern science seems to fight tooth and nail for a narrative of nature that is purely doom and gloom, and that is a recipe for disaster.
The author seems aware of how thermodynamics works, but is a bit deceptive rhetorically in one major way. When referring to systems in which this energy transfer occurs, the author is missing two descriptive words: open and closed. This is important, and makes me wonder why these were neglected.
First the author's thesis, which is a bleak description of reality and the nature of nature. The author accepts the thermodynamic revolution as giving us an understanding of nature as something hostile, evil, and irredeemably destructive to everything.
Reminds me of when Todd Lyons said he wants to run ICE deportations like Amazon.
Yikes...this image from the Epstein birthday card is really one of those "saying the quiet part out loud" moments. The fact these people never thought this would get out.
Reminder that Trump abused his ex wife, who he subsequently buried at his gold course...likely to get a tax break. The grave looks like it was dug by Trump himself.

Yes, let's protect federal lands by engaging in catastrophic resource extraction and increasing fossil fuel output. It's not worth pointing out how harmful this is but I'll just let the words cook themselves.
