ICE agents come to the house of an immigrant activist, he tells them he will come out of the house to them if they have a judicial warrant, as people are told to do now.

They bring a dozen more agents, a Bearcat armored vehicle, battering ram and stun grenades, and break in.

Media Free Diaspora: Make Peace Not Big Yikes


Have Courageโ€“Be Kind

I wrote this 2016 February 05. It still holds!

My position:
* It is better to create allies than to make enemies.
* It is better to educate than to argue.
* If someone is genuinely intractable, do not waste energy on them...just walk away.
* If someone is causing genuine harm, do your best to get out of their way and/or stop them.

I find these are mature skills worth developing. There will be times when I can be tired, stressed, or something is simply a hot button and these points are forgotten. Eventually I recognise that it is time to stop. I apologise if need be. I do my best to learn from the experience and move on. For the last one, it's okay to be scared. Seek help or at least support.

A new rumor claims Valve is working on a console as powerful as the PS5 and Xbox Series X. But maybe donโ€™t get your hopes up just yet.

Nice, thanks for sharing!

After a few searches I came across this: library.gamehistory.org/reposiโ€ฆ โ€” I'd love to see this box of maps.

It reminded me of all the elaborate notes and drawings me and my siblings would make of the worlds of the games we played, taking us from the screen to paper. I guess that rarely happens these days.

โ€˜Sunlight in the Blue Roomโ€™ is an 1891 painting by Anna Ancher, an innovative Danish painter who was a central figure with the Skagen Painters. With its many shades of blue and the sunlight pouring through the window, the painting is one of her most famous works.

Those shadows cast by the foliage in the window are very evocative for me. The painting reminds me of summer afternoons at my grandparentsโ€™ farm. Some of my yesterdays.

Excessive olfactory memory in the insomniac fruit fly mutant:

"we report our surprising findings that insomniac (inc) Drosophila short sleep mutants, which lack a crucial adaptor protein for the autism-associated Cullin-3 ubiquitin ligase, exhibited excessive olfactory memory."

And then the paper goes on to inquire into the molecular basis of this, and reports:

"find that a mild attenuation of Protein Kinase A (PKA) signaling specifically rescued the sleep and longevity phenotypes of inc mutants. Surprisingly, this mild PKA signaling reduction further boosted the excessive memory in inc mutants, coupled with further exaggerated mushroom body overgrowth phenotypes."
