Sure it’s the title of a great Muse song, but it also fits this post. I just read a new~ish theory about the model of our Universe, and I love it! Not to say it’s right, or doesn’t have its own black holes, but I think it’s much more feasible than that Big Bang conundrum, [...]
The topic of immigration policy has been in the news a lot lately, and I found myself caring much less about the topic than I used to. In the past I kind of viewed illegal immigration as theft – where somebody who doesn’t have the right to be here was stealing my opportunities. I know, [...]
