"Speculating"...pretty fancy word for "no clue, just guessing".

@davetuffs.bsky.social CMC 1980 grad here. Saw your update sent to Scott Tate. I always wondered who was blasting Boston from one of the Claremont Towers! I have loved the band ever since, so thank you. I, too, loved Rood's class. Changed my major to IR. Lived in Africa, Asia, Europe. Keep in touch!

If the U.S. could rename a Gulf, what is to stop the "South American" countries to rename their continent? I certainly would after Trump's attack on Venezuela and threats to Columbia. There is no reason for the continent to be called "South" or "America"... #geography

Now that would be revolutionary...and worth it! Maybe someday we could get there. As pathetic as it is, the parties do create some accountability for the campaign lies told by their party representatives. There is an expectance of adhering to certain values. I should have added Rank Choice voting.

There has been a lot of criticism of the Democratic Party. People are asking them to "do something". These are things they can try to do and at least provide more ammunition at those town halls when the Republicans vote No.

We need: --a new method of funding candidates for election. --an independent fact-checking body to review political media campaigns. --Swift penalties for lying to the American public and/or defaming political opponents. --an enforceable rule defining what is allowed as a "gift" to public officials.

We need to create a different method for funding candidates for elections. We need to create--and enforce-- stringent guidelines for any elected official to accept "gifts".

Back when NASA and JPL built spacecraft. With all the layoffs at the Jet Propulsion Lab (and SpaceX repeatedly blowing up their spacecrafts), it will probably take decades to rebuild our expertise.

Yes, I am having some balance issues. I asked about Phys Therapy for the abdominal muscle separation and got nothing. I'm starting to get tempted by the "chair yoga" ads (getting foot surgery soon!).

screenshot of 2 tumblr posts reading: "generally speaking when it comes to mental and physical health, if you're asked "do you struggle with this" and your answer is "no, Because I Have A System," then your answer is actually yes" and "Also, for ADHD symptoms specifically, if they ask something like, "Do you have trouble waiting your turn in conversations?" and your answer is, "No I'm a grown up I don't interrupt people," but you are constantly finishing sentences for people in your head and have formulated three replies before they finish talking.... the answer is yes, yes you do.

And if you can stay in your seat but are constantly bouncing a leg, clicking a pen, tapping out a rhythm on your thigh, or otherwise fidgeting, the answer is, yes, you do have trouble staying in your seat.

Neurotypicals do not require iron clad self control and three coping techniques to sit still during a meeting. "

screenshot of my tumblr post in reply reading: "I have so many GREAT methods of sitting still when I'm supposed to sit still that have I worked out over years of trial and error, and I am excited to use them to get a good grade in Being Neurotypical! A thing which it is possible to achieve and rational to want!"
