from a TED talk by Sir Ken Robinson. In it he said: (paraphrasing here) government can change things very much. Change has to come from the people who act differently, and want different outcomes. . . . Creatively, from those who are demanding something else. . . . "And we aren't there yet.

I will never understand how they think a lier, fraudster, crook and felon is going to help them achieve a better life. Moreover, how are things better now(?), now that everything the government declares and presents is clearly a loss of personal wealth and freedom. 2/2

This is a great quote and something we MUST all be aware of: "NYC Dem primary voters considered that maybe they are trapped in an information bubble by getting their news through a social media platform that isn't representative of reality" from @mtsw.bsky.social‬

It seems more and more that when I click a headline in Google's news feed, I have to scroll four or more pages before I get to the meat of the feed or lede (which are never specific). In the meantime, I have had to scroll through a half dozen ads or more. Is this the way of the world?

Perhaps we can all agree that since the usually mild-mannered Pete Buttigieg publicly lashed out at the Signal Incident with the F-word, it’s now a free-for-all to adjectivize all activities of the Trump Administration. Not to overlook FUBAR, of course.
