Yeah. I’m the neurodivergent person who usually turns on the light when they come into work. All my coworkers seem to enjoy dwelling in darkness (and cONsErVe eNErGy) but I apologize in case I’m waking anyone up and flip that switch anyway. We get a lot of visitors and the place shouldn’t look like a frigging bat cave. Plus, I need the energy that the light gives me, like you said.
My lockscreen is a photo I snapped at Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts a few years ago. On the one hand it represents a very personal memory. On the other I just find it aesthetically pleasing, so maybe someone else might as well? Thanks for posting your favorites, by the way! Walden
edit: this version isn’t cropped right, sorry, but if you take the middle part it should fit nicely on a phone.

Yes, we need to grow more independent of the U.S. (while maintaining good relations with it). Investing in a flourishing European arms industry will not just secure our independence and strengthen our common defense. It will also be an investment that pays off economically via jobs created here, corporate taxes paid here, etc. I wish we could invest into building a more peaceful and just world instead. But that is not what our current situation calls for. Right now we need to safeguard the peace and justice we have already. We’ve come a long way and mustn’t allow an aggressive and ruthless neighbor to threaten what we’ve achieved up to this point.

I learned a few years ago that the Duke is, in fact, not frozen waiting to be resuscitated. Of course I only learned this after arguing with my prof in film class about it. Classic urban legend. Now I’m worried about any other hoaxes I might have absorbed in the pre-Internet years. At least I know that the Glomar Explorer was not looking for manganese nodules.
If I remember my constitutional law classes correctly, conscription was canned after a series of Supreme Court cases where conscientious objectors successfully argued that under the 1st amendment they could not be made to serve. Since “religion” is very loosely defined in the US, pretty much anyone can claim that conscription violates their free exercise of a peace-loving religion.
During the Vietnam era, several people used the 1st Amendment to avoid getting drafted. To quote Wikipedia, “United States v. Seeger, 1965, ruled that a person can claim conscientious objector status based on religious study and conviction that has a similar position in that person’s life to the belief in God, without a concrete belief in God.[4] United States v. Welsh, five years later, ruled that a conscientious objector need have no religious belief at all.” Widespread opposition to the draft during the Vietnam era led to official termination of the draft system in 1973. Since 1980, adult males are again required to register for military service in case their country enters a state of war. But there is no real punishment for failing to sign up, and the country hasn’t officially been at war since 1945.
Edit: sorry I can’t get the quote to work and it’s late at night here. This’ll have to do.
People keep talking about “Federalizing the National Guard” and now you’ve got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image)....
Abraham Lincoln thought they could not. In his inaugural address, he opined that the union was formed for perpetuity and that if the accession of a state to the union required the consent of all other states, so would its secession. He was, among other things, a lawyer so he usually knew what he was talking about.
