Incredibly hard track about Nixon

"The prices rise, the Market falls
Trucks go slow, Congress stalls
The VP left with the dough he took
The P tells the world he's not a crook
The tapes go hm-m-m
The AG would do anything
To help the Pres become the King"

Some fun marginal religions (n < 4) in the SSC survey:

@malwaretech

"Amount of civilian government services greater than zero?" is the criterion they have in mind over there.

Interesting interdisciplinary research group looking for 2023 fellows, e.g. predocs. Rarely extreme of intellectual breadth.

@niplav yes, of course. There's a reason there's more spas. But only 10 times more!

Spa days are interesting: socially-sanctioned inaction. Like a comfy meditation retreat for people who would never go on a meditation retreat.

(I guess going to the beach is the democratised version.)
