iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It would be political suicide for the legislators to expand this tax to everyone. However, I am to the point where, like Maga voters voting against their own self interest because Black people would be hurt more, I am willing to risk being taxed if it means the billionaires get kicked in the nuts.

@realtexaspaul.com you have much wider reach than I do. Can you fold this information into a future discussion to help out with ballot measures in California?

Every other ad I see on Google is against prop 40 even when I keep trying to block them. The ads claim the tax can be expanded to regular people in the future. BUT THE LEGISLATURE CAN ALREADY DO THIS. THE BALLOT MEASURE DOESN’T ADD TO THEIR EXISTING POWER.

The mere fact that anyone is rich enough to spend that much money to avoid being taxed is maybe the best case that these motherfuckers need to be taxed

Wishing him a lot of rapid unscheduled vehicular disassembly. If it doesn’t hurt him physically at least it’s a big enough expense to hurt his pocket when a spaceship blows.

Why California's Real Big One Isn't an Earthquake

@realtexaspaul.com you’ll want to play this @ 1.25x (long). Is AI but accurate. It shows the ceiling of what can happen in CA, flood wise. There is no data to confirm this was El-Niño-related, but the training of likely-atm.-river storms is suggestive. How was TX that year? youtu.be/CKJU8m2sAdk

@realtexaspaul.com getting old sucks, but the alternative is getting dead, which sucks more. Your right knee problems sounds like a ligament rupture possibly the posterior cruciate ligament. Get an MRI. If this is the problem, it is surgically repairable. Meanwhile, try a brace.

@realtexaspaul.com we are back to the levels of oil, leaving the Persian Gulf before the *Korean* War. By that metric we’re doing really great! In California, many community colleges offer guitar classes. It might be a cheaper alternative for you in the short term if Texas does the same.

Certain men appear to think shutting women away in psych wards will prevent other women from speaking out. WRONG. Justice for the Cornell victim. Justice for the Epstein victims.

Thanks for doing this, though. It is super annoying that in order to be heard we need men to tell our stories because the men who need to hear our stories can’t hear women’s voices. They only take something seriously if a man says it.

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

89% of SBE NSF grants were never awarded!! My field (Cognitive Neuroscience) is included in this gutting, as are so many others. Plenty of horror stories in the same space are also coming from NIH. It’s not just delaying research; it’s labs shutting down and a next gen that won’t be trained.

My fury is swelling right now too, but it has a somewhat different flavor than that of 2018. It is the badge of a degraded democracy that the power of certain men will not be held to account.

Here we go again. Traitors can be trusted. Keep in mind that Congress approved those funds for Ukraine. The President doesn't have the authority to send the money to other countries. But don't expect the Democrats in leadership positions to do anything about it. They lack leadership and the will.

And it's strange that with every move that further weakens the American order that that president and his fellow conspirators are signing deals with members of the alliance to overtake America that enrich them at the expense of allies and strategic concerns I don't know. Hard to understand, I guess

For the record, the American order should go away. It was lousy and brutal. But having it bought out by dictators and oligarchs in order to further their interests that made it lousy and brutal in the first place is fucking disgusting and I'm exhausted by people pretending it's not happening.

Have to imagine it's a coincidence that all these things are happening that further the destruction of American interests and they all involve a coalition dedicated to surpassing and replacing the American order and the president is overtly corrupt and obliviously a supplicant to their leaders.

At least in Mexico, they speak the language. I hope the Mexican government can do something to protect them until it is safe for them to return to the US.
