You can never know a single person fully, not even yourself. Even if you think you know yourself in your safe glass castle, you don’t know yourself in the dirt.

A man stands facing away from the viewer, looking westward into the sunset. The viewer is looking up at the man from the ground. The man is standing in the desert. A few small cacti are visible on the ground. The man is standing on a small mound of dirt. An aurora is visible in the sky. The sky is also filled with stars, while closer to the horizon near the setting sun, a few whispy clouds are seen.

3073. Tariffs

title text: [later] I don't get why our pizza slices have such terrible reviews; the geotextile-infused sauce gives the toppings incredible slope stability!

Tariffs xkcd
8 panel comic. 1. Pony tail is looking at a phone and walks up to No hair, who is sitting at a computer. Pony tail says "You know how I blocked all news sites at the start of 2021 to avoid spoilers for Avater 2, and then forgot to start checking them again?" No hair replies "Yeah, we've been meaning to talk to you about that…" 2. Pony tail says "Well, I just checked the news for the first time, and why is the economy tanking?" No hair replies "Uh, the president is mad at other countries and imposed lots of tariffs." 3. Zoom in to Pony tail "What, who's the president now?" From off panel no hair replies "Donald Trump." Pony tail says "…still???" From off panel No hair replies "No, again." 4. Pony tail asks "Ok, fine, what's a tariff? Why is he doing this?" No hair says "You know that pizzeria your company orders from? They don't buy anything from *you*, right?" Pony tail says "Why would they? We do geotechnical landscape surveys."

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

She has a set of double wings, similar to a dragonfly, but smaller. It is nighttime. The moon is full, and reflects in the water. Glowing flowers dot the banks of the stream.
