I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo is surrounded by ladies dancing

Clearing out some items so they don't roll over to the New Year as I probably won't have time to post before then. Happy New Year everybody. Hopefully next New Year will find us in a better place than this one. But since they're talking about how Democrats need to announce their 2020 campaign by May if they want to be able to content, I doubt it. We can always hope, though.

"You'd think Instagram would know by now that even the smallest changes can send users into a paranoid frenzy. That still didn't stop the company from unintentionally pushing out a major update that screwed up users' feeds…" They've gone plaid.

"It has been warming for decades now. But 2018 brought several major new and markedly more precise reports from scientists about what climate change is doing to the weather and how dire they expect the consequences to be." We're boned.

"NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is set to explore more distant worlds than ever before when it flies past 2014 MU69 in the early hours of New Year's Day."

"All the Incredible Stuff Happening in Space in 2019."

We have the best healthcare system in the world! "Setting up a GoFundMe page has also become a go-to way for people in need of help to pay their doctors and other health providers. Medical fundraisers now account for 1 in 3 of the website's campaigns, and they bring in more money than any other GoFundMe category, says GoFundMe CEO Rob Solomon."

If they only came the legal way. "But more than any wall, new barriers to legal immigration are likely to have more bearing on people trying to enter the United States. The United States is rejecting more legal immigrants than ever before."

"When he ran for governor of Georgia this year, Michael Williams made headlines by promising to put undocumented immigrants on his 'deportation bus' and send them back to Mexico… Williams… turned himself in Wednesday on one count each of insurance fraud, filling a false crime report and making a false statement. He was indicted last week." Karma calling. (Grokked from Jim Wright)
