We talk a lot about people not knowing how to use 4-way stops in the Midwest
but a real conversation needs to be had about people not knowing how to merge onto a busy highway

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the digital age, a just social order guarantees everyone equal access to opportunities, protects the youngest and weakest members of society, combats hate and misinformation and subjects the use of data and technology to public oversight, so that the guiding principle is not solely profit but the dignity of every person and the common good of all people.

Coop and run complete. Hens will only need to lay ~5,300 eggs to break even on this bad boy.

A lot of Wichita companies are suppliers to Blue Origin, and I'm glad that our state is helping with and benefiting from this project.

Looks like I should have pivoted to building "no data center" signs.

@postmindfuck @vintagemapstore Not until the 1800s when revolutions and Bismark's Kulturkampf drove them out.

We should be less worried about the machines gaining consciousness and more worried about humanity losing its own.

My only regret in life is not having kids earlier.

When I was 27 I was going out 4 nights a week, working 12+ hr days 6 days a week, waking up at 5am daily for CrossFit.

Kids would've been a breeze.

Don't wait for more resources to have kids. Energy is scarcer than money.

Just realized how absurd "My Truck is Stuck!" is for kids living in a smartphone-era world.

For the Martyred Children Today

The shots were fire and thunder,
A creed of spite and shame;
The children fell in silence
And whispered Jesus’ Name.

O mothers weep in anguish,
O fathers break in two;
The pews are stained with sorrow,
The walls with bitter dew.

Yet Heaven saw the moment,
And opened wide its gate;
For innocence is stronger
Than all the world’s dark hate.

O children crowned in glory,
Your voices still resound;
You sing where saints are gathered,
Where endless joys abound.

The Cross has crushed the terror,
The Lamb has claimed His own;
And tears become a triumph
Before the Father’s throne.

So let all Earth remember,
Though hatred boasts today:
The Church is built of martyrs,
And death has lost its sway.

USDA forecasts a massive US corn crop this year, with yield at a record high of 188.8 bushels per acre. Corn prices going down.

An amazing trend: in a generation (since 2000), US corn yield have increased ~45%. In two generations (since 1975), corn yields have almost doubled.

Wait, some people DON'T have a cheese drawer?!?

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Are you even a Midwesterner if you don’t have a dedicated cheese drawer in your fridge?
