It's #WorldOctopusDay! 🐙 🌊

There's only been a few studies tracking octopus movement. Seems it's pretty hard to stick a tag on a soft and flexible body!

That didn't stop us from imagining where these intelligent and beguiling creatures would go and what ocean conditions they would measure.

"Me's not the typical.
Flow so technical,
get so lyrical.
Extra-biblical,
I'm a living God.
One with the spiritual,
and the physical.
That's so critical,
It's empirical.
Touch me if you bad."🎶

Get rid of the electoral colleges. A cultural anachronism. It’s a nonsense that a candidate can gain 4 million more popular votes and still lose and that these colleges are not compelled to even respect the votes cast by their own electorates.

Meanwhile, our very own ICE is actively doing and/or causing tortuous things to happen to Americans, both abroad and in gulags right here at home.

When does ICE face the same charges as Maduro?

It cannot be doubted that Partch's 43-tone scale may at first appear otherwise, but upon reflection is dissonant.
