This map is such a departure from what I've been seeing for weeks: https://deepstatemap.live/
So few strikes onto the Ukr side.

(for those that don't know, click on the flame icon on the lower left to show where the fires are that correspond to mortar and rocket hits. Notice that most are now in Russian territory.)

@process
Come to California. We now have Fire Tornadoes. They suck burning branches (big ones) up into the sky and they drop down on aircraft.

Hey @Render are you seeing a significant drop in Russian artillery since yesterday? Apparently a number of HIMARS have been put into service and a lot of ammo dumps are getting hit. Related? I know the Russians are pretty shitty at logistics, especially getting supplies to the front lines. Are we seeing a game-changer in action?

@HiRISE
Incredible gravitational lensing going on. Even over multiple areas within this frame.

What I think is interesting is the distortion of the light due to gravitational lensing from the fuzzy galaxy in the center. Many galaxies, further away, are stretched round it in a circular pattern.

That one is delicious!
Nice zins, too.

We're at 246 signatures!
And, I've got reporters from the 2 biggest newspapers emailing me and arranging times.

And, Nancy Pelosi's office just emailed asking for a time to talk!
(That would be really cool except I've learned that she and Xavier Becerra don't like each other)

I was at Laguna Honda Hospital this weekend.
Spoke to staff and family members visiting.
I was stunned to hear so many people didn't know the govt is shutting down the facility and everyone needs to be out by mid-Sept. It's sad to deliver such terrible news to people.

@Mara_McGuire
Thank you!!! We're at 230 now!

We are up to 230 signatures on our petition!

Help?

Background: The Fed Gov't dept that manages Medicare/Medicaid (CMS) is forcing the relocation of 700 vulnerable residents at the largest skilled nursing facility in the country while it pursues recertification because of some minor violations.

We're asking Sec. of HHS Xavier Becerra to decouple relocation from recertification so that these people are not forced out.

My mother in law is being forced out this Friday

Or at least, sanctimoniously, thinks they are making the world a better place.

Never share your points until you have shared your conclusion.

Back into your conclusion with your points.

Otherwise people think each of your points are your conclusion.

This is because people can't think in a linear manner.
Or, they think that you can't think in a linear manner and they want to win the argument by interrupting you.

They can't STFU until you are done making your point.

I've got to keep my mouth shut until I have a solid conclusion to share.

Everyone just settle down.
It was only a drill.

We got over 100 signatures on my petition to get Sec. Xavier Becerra to stop the forced relocation of 700 residents at the country's largest skilled nursing facility, Laguna Honda!

Took only 1 day!

Can I get a few more from COSO friends, too?

My mother in law is being relocated next week unless we get some traction with Sec. Becerra.

@HelloRonaut
Do you see that pigeon right above you looking down? 😜

I could use some help.

My mother in law is about to be relocated from the largest skilled nursing facility in the US. Please sign the petition to Sec. of HHS, Xavier Becerra: https://www.change.org/p/laguna-honda-hospital-a-humanitarian-crisis-underway

The Fed Gov't agency, CMS, is forcing relocating all residents while the City of San Francisco goes through a recertification process. This forces out 700 vulnerable people!

We need to do this quickly. They've already relocated a 101 year old woman! There just aren't enough beds in SF Bay!

Maybe it is about reinforcement?
When you get enough people thinking the same, crazy, way they reaffirm the crazy position and generate their own reality.
Yet, they need a catalyst. That's the primal desire to have a leader: Lead monkey, king/queen or deity.

@XSGeek @process @joem2go
I think it is a more human-level trait.
We've always had leaders.
Chimpanzees have a dominant Chimp.
