They send a bunch of people to NASA. Had 3 guys just from my high school days wind up there after going to ISU.

The NASA Grant Consortium at ISU seems to be going great guns anyway.

Texas A&M censors Plato because the Symposium touches on race and gender issues.

Texas A&M philosophy professor ordered to remove Plato reading or be reassigned

Professor Peterson said the discussion about love and biological sexes from Plato’s Symposium is what the administration red-flagged.

They should like Plato. The Republic is a model fascist state.

In the latest Epstein dump, a certain transphobe children's author appears more than a few times.

This is a tremendous read not only for the subject matter, but for how wonderfully it's written. I absolutely adore her writing style.

"The same folks who can’t afford insulin are cheering billionaires who’d step over their bodies on the way to a tax cut."

So well put.

She lives about 60 miles from where I grew up - she beautifully captures the contradictions of society there.

It's Darwin, working through political ideologies. Give it a few generations. Reduce the stock.

That is an excellent piece. I understand why she lives there. She has found the only authentic place remaining. The rest of us live in artificial surroundings within an artificial economy with artificial people while we think artificial thoughts. We're the opposite of people. She has found the last place to be human. Her authentic surroundings are poverty. The authenticity of the people around her is their hatred. Her authentic life is survival.

I am far too soft to accept that deal, but I understand it. She's alive, almost all the rest of us are comfortable and asleep.

Every once in awhile, some isolated rural hollow births a person with actual talent in a sea of dullards and chuds. You've found a great example. That may be the best piece of real-life dirty realism I've read since I took a short stories class as an elective at MTU.

Don't get too excited, though, the last person from the holler who wrote compellingly about their life there sold out in comically record time.
