The US has become a dark place... they now are even restricting prisoners from getting access to books... so much for trying to improve and rehabilitate our incarcerated citizens. The powers that be would rather deprive them of educational material and destroy them completely. https://proteanmag.com/2021/11/29/the-american-prison-systems-war-on-reading/

Here's my holiday reminder to signup for Coinbase if you need a little extra cash. You can earn over $150 by just watching an hour of crypto videos. Of course you can then convert that directly to BCH! Not sure exactly which countries are eligible. Please report back if you have any problems! https://coinbase.com/join/ellith_m

Sometimes it is obvious that science thinks they know everything... https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/the-universe-is-expanding-faster-than-it-should-be For instance, this title is "The universe is expanding faster than it should be". I am sure the Universe is doing exactly what it should be doing. Perhaps the title should be "Humans are too dumb to actually understand the expansion of the Universe, and have incorrectly modeled the behavior".
