Damn. Someone snitched.
Police said they arrested a 26-year-old on firearms charges in connection to the New York killing.
When a former high school valedictorian with a Master's commits an assassination, you know things are awful.

Steve From “Blue’s Clues” Just Checked In On “The Kids He Raised” And Gave Them A Safe Space To Offload After Donald Trump’s Election Victory.
Interestingly, Steve doesn’t even speak in the 59-second video, but appears to give viewers a comforting presence as he enters the outdoors shot and “offers them” a hot drink.
And many of the comments thanked Steve for offering them this safe space, with one person writing: “As a trans man, I felt this to my core. I took the breath with you then started bawling. Thank you.”
“The man who is a staple of my childhood didn’t say a single word and it brought me to tears. Steve, thank you. I don’t know where we go from here,” somebody else wrote.
Another popular comment reads: “He didn’t say A WORD and said everything at the same time. This man should be guarded at all costs.”
“Neither of my dads checked in on me today. But you did Steve. Thank you,” one more acknowledged.
“So much responsibility on Steve’s hands to make sure we are okay. We need to make sure he’s doing okay too. I mean I’m not doing great, but he’s still looking after the kids he raised,” somebody else added.
While another concluded: “I bet you didn’t think you’d still be raising us all these years later, Steve, but thank you for still being here.”
For those who are not on TikTok or have never had Steve show up on their FYP, there is some very important context missing here...
Steve's whole page is just him asking the viewer how they are doing and then remaining silent while "listening" very intently. The comments are then filled with people updating him on how they are.
This is why the post-election post hit so hard for folks.
He didn't ask how we are doing.
He didn't need to.
He just gives us a mug of our favorite hot beverage and a thoughtful nod, then stands with you for a minute, listening, just to let you know that none of us are alone.
Wait! There's one more thing I forgot to mention. In case you didn't know and needed another reason to love him.
His Tiktok channel? All his videos are 59 seconds long.
Which means he cannot monetize them. Which means he makes zero dollars from this wonderful thing he does and he just does this to make us all feel like he's still looking out for us.
Steeeeeeve.
A wonderful, long-time friend of mine passed away too young last year and this was his favorite quote, from Twin Peaks. Don't forget to give yourself a little present today.

My favorite thing about “Scream” is how much of a collaboration it is. The harmonies in the pre-chorus are clearly in the style of Janet’s best stuff with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, but the chorus is how Michael lays his backgrounds, with that close-to-the-mic sound. They really got each other’s sound.
Also interesting: “Scream” was the first time Michael had ever worked with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Considering they all were operating within the sound of New Jack Swing in the early 90s, I think MJ probably avoided them because of how closely they were tied to Janet’s career. Not in a shady way, obviously, because they loved each other’s music and MJ especially liked dancing to Rhythm Nation, but if your baby sister is building her own career with specific producers, you don’t really wanna “borrow” them until she’s a superstar too. Once Janet had her 3rd blockbuster album in a row, Michael probably felt comfortable enough to be like “okay, I can check out these producers I’ve admired now since there’s no shadow of me on Janet’s career anymore.”

Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman” as a Toddler’s Bedtime Story
Very accidentally, the main and indeed only bedtime story my toddlers want to hear at night is one about Gaiman’s Sandman.
Please believe me, I didn’t plan this deliberately. I don’t think I could have.
There’s a kind of delirium state parents enter when they reach exhaustion and will say anything to make their kids lie down quietly. You say anything, hoping it’ll have a calming effect. I’d be unsurprised to hear footage of myself reciting Chinese restaurant combo meals.
At some point, I must have started rambling about the Sandman. It’s on my mind enough; I teach it to middle schoolers.
My kids had me in the endless loop of, “Daddy, I want a kiss. And a hug. And a high five. And a fist bump. Put my blanket on!” So I mentioned the Endless.
I rambled out something about Morpheus and kept going. It was made in an impaired state of consciousness and never intended to be repeated.
Until the next night.
Eager eyes. Blankets clutched.
“Daddy. Tell me the Sandman.”
A bedtime story is a ritual, and children will inform you when you are doing it wrong. Through a state of narrative natural selection, our family has settled on an orthodox telling of Gaiman’s Sandman for Toddlers.
To whit:
“If you close your eyes and lie still-”
This is the Very Important Part for the parent side of the equation.
“…then the Sandman, Morpheus, the Prince of Stories, the Lord Shaper, the King of Dreams will come…”
One must take care not to get the order wrong.
“…He’ll come with his bone helmet, and black robe, and glowing red necklace, and bag of magic sand…”
Yesterday, my two-and-a-half-year-old son politely informed me that I had forgotten the necklace, but no recriminations would be made if I immediately made a correction.
“… and he’ll put his magic sand on your eyelids…”
The children have reasoned out for themselves that “magic” sand doesn’t hurt your eyes the way normal sand does. They’re familiar with the anarchy of the daycare playground.
“…and he’ll send you to the Dreaming and give you amazing dreams.”
There is wiggle room in the descriptive word. Awesome dreams. Incredible dreams. Fantastic dreams.
Never “good dreams.”
I don’t believe Morpheus would approve of that promise.
If one cares, one can mention meeting Matthew the raven, Merv Pumpkinhead the scarecrow, or Lucien the librarian of all the Books That Never Were.
This is generally just garnish.
The ritual is complete. The children are appeased.
Sometimes, I will have to do it twice.
Even if they’ve both in the same room, six feet apart.
Separate performances will be demanded.
My greatest hope in this is that one day they’ll be rebellious gothy teenagers, deep in the epoch wherein Dad Is Not Cool.
They’ll approach me with the family copy of Preludes and Nocturnes in hand and eyes overflowing with questions.
And I’ll only smile.
how is trump alive?? like hes rlly gone thru his whole life like That …. and no one has ever just fuckin decked him?? gave him the ole one two? knocked his lights out??? incredible

Cats also purr when the are: stressed, scared, or just upset and need cuddles. Cats also learn what meow is the most depressing meow possible to get us to do what they want. Science is also out on whether or not they injected us with a parasite to further control our behavior. Legitametely I am convinced that they are lovely tiny versions of apex predators that we serve as totems in case they were to ever evolve beyond a need for us to keep and feed them.

There really is nothing to fear in fantasy unless you are afraid of the freedom of uncertainty. This is why it’s hard for me to imagine that anyone who likes science can dislike fantasy. Both are based so profoundly on the admission of uncertainty, the welcoming acceptance of unanswered questions. Of course the scientist seeks to ask how things are the way they are, not to imagine how they might be otherwise. But are the two operations opposed, or related? We can’t question reality directly, only by questioning our conventions, our belief, our orthodoxy, our construction of reality. All Galileo said, all Darwin said, was “It doesn’t have to be the way we thought it was.”

Prisons should not be able to profit. Instead the money made by inmates should go to the communities their crime affected.
The tendency of Americans to overestimate what they have accomplished on their own and deny how much they owe to others has been codified in the myth that the colonists came on an “errand into the wilderness” and built a land of plenty out of nothing. In reality, however, the abundant concentrations of game, plants, and berries that so astonished Eastern colonists were not “natural”; they had been produced by the cooperative husbandry and collective land-use patterns of Native Americans. In the Northwest, the valuable Douglas fir forests and plentiful herds of deer and elk found by early settlers existed only because Native American burning practices had created sustained-yield succession forests that maximized use of these resources without exhausting them
