In Miami, two inmates on murder charges who never met face-to-face had a baby through an AIR DUCT. Daisy (29) and Joan (23) fell in love via the vent between floors. He wrapped his semen in plastic, tied it to a rope made of torn bedsheets, and lowered it down. She pulled it up and self-inseminated with a store-bought applicator. In 2024, she gave birth to a baby girl with DNA confirming it’s their child. The jail is currently investigation this shocking security lapse.


@Empty_America This reminds me of the observation that you can find child prodigies in chess, math etc. precisely because those pursuits don't require emotional maturity or an understanding human relationships.


There needs to be a word for people who are the opposite of autistic. Personable, sociable, likable, and empathetic... But unable to operate a toaster or use the =SUM() formula in excel. My daughter is a bit like this. Big head. Big brain. I don't know what it's used for. Except I do. It catalogs all her friends, what they like, what I like, what I might need in a particular moment, and hearts, lots of hearts. But God help us if we need to go somewhere in an elevator. "How many fingers am I holding up?" 2, 3, 4, 7 — whatever, it's funny to her and irrelevant. Counting isn't a representation of a quantity, it's a song, which you can start or stop at any point. Love her, she's great, but definitely the opposite of autistic.

There has been a lot of talk in recent years about emigration from Israel, as well as Jewish immigration *to* Israel. But the discourse often bears only tenuous links to reality. I wrote an opinionated article to discuss the trends, and drew attention to a few issues that are rarely talked about. Link and discussion below. /1

There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.
