As a coping mechanism I am going to reread some of The Stoics. Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus to start.

For enlightenment I am rereading The Prophet by Kalil Gibran

I fear this is going to be a long winter. One that will test our souls.

I get the feeling that from next year in the US there'll be a lot less surfing but a great deal more serfing.......unless you're extremely wealthy of course.

If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off, so stepped on

Dear Joe:

It's a good day to implement "Presidential Official Act immunity."

Call me: I'm drafting the Executive Order text, which prevents an "elected" candidate from "Holding" the office, per Amendment 14, Section 3.

NB: after reading Roberts' decision twice, they prevented Colorado from 'election disqualification' but remained silent on 'holding'.

Good morning groovy souls.

Feeling better today, overall. I've been hitting the grass a bit to hard, not to mention the snacks, but there is at least a feeling of equilibrium this morning.

"As much as I wish things were different, this is where I am right now"

It's time to take a deep breath, acknowledge the stress, and take the next steps, no matter how big or small they are.

Prognostications of the next 4 years fly, but I think its important to remember that we are always the X factor.

Iโ€™m feeling like Robert Heinlein was more prescient than I thought, and thatโ€™s unsettling.

Now that we have determined a portion of our society wants to live in a dictatorship it would appear this is the safest social media site.

I had thought the following quote was only about the loss of someone you love. I now know it can be about the loss of a country you love too.

"And ever has it been that Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation,"~ Khalil Gibran

THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
"Balance your thoughts with action. โ€” If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done." - Bruce Lee

โ€œBooks wonโ€™t stay banned. They wonโ€™t burn. Ideas wonโ€™t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.โ€

any journalist who announces McCarthy endorsing an impeachment inquiry on President Biden, without mentioning by the own admission there is no evidence, is furthering fascist propaganda

Reading this, I just realized that Elmo is living his entire life in a state of unacknowledged terror.

Everything he does is because he believes he's in danger of getting killed by events beyond his control.

Why electric cars? Because humans are crappy, dangerous drivers and might MURDER him.

Why Mars? Because an asteroid might hit Earth and MURDER him.

Why AI? To keep someone ELSE'S AI from MURDERING him.
