I have a feeling that Wu Yize has played a deal of pool in the alleys of Lanzhou.

#CarlHeastie continues to be awful, but NYers maybe want to give his office a call to tell him to stop blocking the Stop Super Speeders bill. His office # is 518-455-3791, I just called and someone answered right away.

Juanyeh Thomas Takes Issue With Cowboys Giving Away Marshawn Kneeland's Number https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/onsi/juanyeh-thomas-takes-issue-with-dallas-cowboys-giving-away-marshawn-kneeland-number

I had a weird dream where I was talking to someone at some kind of ceremony, I think a funeral, where I had timidly painted my face with clay as part of some ritual. This person was talking about how far society has come while our brains have not caught up.
Imagine if your ancient cave dwelling ancestors were dropped into this world of cars, office hours, budgets, climate change, and AI. They would be absolutely freaking out and struggling to understand things all the time... Just like you are now.
Society teaches us to suppress these emotions. You're supposed to be OK with giant metal boxes flying around you in rumbling stampedes, but you feel it in unexplained anxiety. You're supposed to just fit your life into tight little bounds that ignore weather and season, but you feel it in more unexplained anxiety and depression. We are all part of something so big and complicated we can't make sense of it, we cannot possibly comprehend it all, it is simply too much to fully grasp the implications of our individual actions within global capitalism. Should we be surprised by our urge to simply destroy it, by the anger and desire to simply "smash" something far more complex than can be met with simple violence?
Some part of my brain was trying to remind me to be compassionate to myself. Perhaps that reminder can be useful to you as well.

A long time ago, when I was still going to school, I often thought about some class or other: "What's the point of this? I'm just wasting time on stuff I won't ever need. And my grades are going down because of it." So I supported all these bright ideas like having schools work the curriculum out with the industry.
Nowadays, I know better. The purpose of school is not to produce ready-made employees. It's to give people a wider perspective. Perhaps they won't use most of what they learn there, perhaps they'll have bad memories of some classes, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that you learn how to learn, how to reason, how to think.
I hate what's been happening to schools lately. They are becoming conveyor belts: we throw children on them, throw specific knowledge at them and see what sticks, we do exams and classify them. We expect to get a thoughtless laborer at the end, someone ready to take a specific job immediately.
A human whose only purpose in life is mindless labor and mindless consumption. Metaphorically, someone who's just going to spend their time off by drinking beer in the front of the TV and breeding more babies. Babies who will eventually become more cogs in the machine, fueling the infinite growth, trying to prevent this mindless system from falling apart.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet.
It infected 3.5 million people in 1986.
Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page

The rules of abstention (khatha kamma; ข้อห้ามศิษย์ยันต์) for sak yant tattoos vary depending on the master.

• Do not eat star fruit, pumpkin, or other gourd-like vegetables.
• Do not become romantically involved with someone who is already married.

Slot manages games confusingly, to me, but also to the team. It's a feeling of neither stick nor twist. He doesn't like the quarterback game he thinks it's low % football and seems to prefer the two passes forward, one sideways, backwards, forwards.
It's overly safe.
