Sotomayor has categorically said what needed saying: Trump said he was going to violate the Constitution, he did so in precisely the way he said he would, and the majority of the current Supreme Court has explicitly allowed it. 13/13

Anyway. When you see people hyperventilating that "B-b-but paying farm workers more would make food unaffordable!" please correct them up for me.

They might mean well? They might be trying to make a point about how much we owe the humble farm worker?

But that kind of talk is exactly how you get people believing "Gosh shucks golly. I guess we just need slavery to live."

Cut it out already.

WHN May 13

Now he wears an N95 in classrooms, labs, and meetings. Not because of fear, but because of evidence. He has studied the science behind brain changes, immune disruption, and Long COVID, and he has adapted to protect his health and the people around him.

In a culture eager to move on, he's staying grounded in the facts. If you’re still masking too, share this post.

Stuck in the Middle with Masking: Playing the Long Game in a Short-Sighted Age - WHN

by Sean Mullen, PhD “Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right…” That line plays in my head more often than it should—especially when I’m the only one walking into a conference ballroom, faculty meeting, or classroom wearing an N95. The song is Stuck in the Middle with You, and it wasn’t written … Continued

I might have focused on statistics like "families ripped apart", "children kept away from their parents", "innocent people deported to other nations without due process" over economic losses, but these numbers (provided officially by ICE, so take them in that light) are striking. https://www.openice.org/

all US trains that allowed anyone to control the brakes?

Cool cool cool.

I mean, it’s a great time to dial back on being an asshole, so if you are subbing PERFORMATIVELY, like to write NYT columns about, then sure. If you mean is it time to stop having values and boundaries, then no. /1

80% of Tennessee wants this, including most veterans… but keep electing a Republican supermajority who block it. (PSA: Their Core Civic donors would lose money if we stopped locking people up for nonviolent offenses… which also keeps them from voting…) www.knoxnews.com/story/news/l...

Looking for advice on Bricklink Studio and brick bending.

I'm looking to create instructions for a ring of 3x1 with barrels. In this image, I've bent the first sub-module at 10° for the outside 2 bricks. When I try to add another module (using the connect tool) I get the ghosted bricks shown.

Should I ignore that? Is there a trick to making it accept it? I've done some searching on 'bent brick' and 'ring' for a Bricklink tutorial, haven't found anything.

@adamshostack I’m not sure but from the depths of my memory it may be the “collision” setting you need to tweak. Sorry to be a bit vague but I hope that helps!

@cazmockett How could you possibly not waste 15 minutes to dig into the software to give me precise advice? 🤣

I'll check it out.

@cazmockett That was exactly it. Toggle the collision warning and it all goes away. ("Stability" still tells me I'm crazy, but I knew that )
