I think one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard is: “The last hydrogen bomb detonated was four thousand times more powerful than the bomb detonated over Hiroshima” 4 THOUSAND times more powerful than a bomb which incinerated ~70,000 people in an instant. What in the fuck…😳

When I need a break from my Econ reading for classes, I’ve been reading ‘Writings on the General Theory of Signs’ by Charles W. Morris and really digging it! It’s very systematic and straightforward, no muss no fuss. I’ve come to appreciate this sort of writing…part of my analytic turn I suppose 😅

I found a loophole to listen to YouTube on my phone w/headphones with the screen off w/o paying. Play the video, then hit the home button so the video drops to the small version. Then, press the power button. After the screen shuts off and vid stops playing, hit the play button on headphones. Bam 😏

This show kinda sucks. Supposed to be a court drama but the court scenes are just not even close to researched so they feel fake. The premise of every episode (so far) is either ripped from headlines or stolen from other shows/movies. The acting is decent at least. 🤷‍♂️
