I worked on my skis for decades, then tech work and writing. I use energetic mediums for art, new tools, and the pure joy of learning. Humor, love, juggling and constant burning curiosity keeps me going. Retired from being a part time idiot savant.

Well, it is a book which can help, or hurt, anybody in anyway. Because you can cherry pick *anything* you want out of it. Good or bad. You will get out of it what you are told to get out of it, or as validation for what you already believe. Period.

Our perception of time is poor. Here: Until 1974 women couldn't open bank account without a male co-signer. 1974! -- A big time warp wake up call: let's call a "lifetime" 70 years. Ok: The Civil War ended just over two lifetimes ago. Look at the #'s. Wild.

Our perception of time is not macro. We don't naturally have big perspective. Here: Until 1974 women couldn't open bank account without a male co-signer. 1974! And here is a big time warp wake up call: lets call a "lifetime" 70 years. The Civil War ended two lifetimes ago. Look at the #'s. Wild.

I think protesters wearing death masks and robes, should hang out and sing YMCA in front his house. Dancing and having fun, but making scary "ooooooooo" sounds and waving fingers, mocking and belittling his fears. Schadenfreude can be cathartic, therapeutic for us all.

Korean style state media will increasingly dominate from now on. Except they would not want this person announcing, clearly a DEI hire.

They are absolutely dreaming of using one or two "small" tactical nukes.

The Maggots really, really want to get an excuse/chance to use a "small" tactical nuke or two. Or if they can't make it happen, some really really massive airstrikes might sate them for a bit.

* Al-Qaeda beat America 25 years ago * By planting the seeds of America's collapse. Osama noted in a 2004 video - the goal: "get America to harden itself against the world, and itself". Same blueprint used against the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 80s. We went from "America" to "Homeland" overnight

Maggots might be tired of the "cliche" Nazi comparisons. But cliches generally start for a reason. And we keep turning our heads, but it is so clear.

It could be that VT might be able to help people beyond our borders. We may need a new "Underground Railroad". Anybody not white, straight, Christian, male or submissive female may need to escape parts of the South. Yes, this may seem a paranoid vision now. But, it seemed nuts back then too.

Any two of the large companies on this list failing would really hurt and cause hassle to a lot of people and business around the world. But most would ride it out. However, two of smallest companies on the list could devastate every other company on the list. And I love that one of them is Dutch.

Yep. A fun short one to hit them with: Jesus would count as "woke" today, and in history he was murdered by the right wing of the empires government. Which they would again. And, talking to them, "you f'ing know it. The right wing would want a new Jesus dead".

If my kid has to go to a school with unvaxxed kids? She should get to go with fireworks. I think adults supporting this are essentially in a death cult. The math on this simply does not, and cannot, be dismissed. We need to stop giving them time as is if "well, it is a matter of opinion" Its not.

Encouraging folks to not vaccinate? They are assisting in murder. And, because of herd immunity issues, they hurt all of us. I don't want them in my schools unless my kid can bring things like firecrackers to school. Simple triage: don't beLIEve in science? Back of the line when medicine is needed.

It is imaginable that a new "Underground Railroad" type of system will start happening again. Perhaps for anybody with dark skin, liberal, not Christian or some combination will need out. And - once again all roads may lead to the North East and Canada.
