As somebody born before and had a grandmother berating my mother to get an abortion when she heard she was having a 4th child, I'm totally in favor of a woman's right to choose.

Also, fuck you, grandma.
(You were kind of a shit as much as I can remember. )

Here is a perspective:
- In order to rebuild a building you have to demolish the existing one
- Sometimes things have to get really bad for the demolition to commence
- The GOP brought this on
- The backlash from independents may be the demolition

Well, I hope all of those conservative-leaning mothers and daughters comprehend that it was their decision to send representatives into their government that took away their rights.

Absolutely crazy!

Politico:
Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows
"We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled," Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft circulated inside the court.

Any problem you don't yet understand can be broken down, ultimately, into understandable parts.

That doesn't always solve the problem, though.

You may need to assemble some of those parts back together to find the solution.

Good afternoon, it's time for our semi-annual and long overdue Ukraine Update. This will be a thread and I will answer questions after the thread is complete.

For the benefit of new readers various fronts will be titled thus...

Holy Shit......did you see this 👀 😬 🌪️

Goodnight Cosonaughts!
Say civil.
Move the needle.

And, this is a peek into how to break down a super-big Problem into smaller parts so that innovation can start delivering Solutions.

This is how I'm starting to organize "The Problems" relative to "The Solutions". It's resonating with innovators.

I believe that the smartest people in the world (and those on CoSo) should devote a little time understanding "The Problems".

I believe we spend too much ineffective time thinking about, or debating "The Solutions".

Maybe discussing, unveiling, more details about The Problem is less contentious?

I've been focused on Wildfire Management lately. I spend a lot of my personal time talking to experts in this space. I'm continually reassured that too little effort is made defining the problems

PSA: There's a minor disagreement happening between CounterSocial and the group that created the AGPL-licensed, open-source software that is being used to run it. If you have questions about this disagreement, please don't hesitate to ask.

The least helpful thing you can do right now is attack Mastodon, its creators, or other instance admins. Right now, they are trying to goad us into doing just that. Why? For the screenshots.

So please, do us all a favor. Don't give them any content. Thanks.

I spent Thursday meeting a bunch of wildfire experts at a Wildfire Resources Fair.

I've been working on this topic for 8 months and every time I meet new people I learn more fundamental things.

And, after spending 25 years working on solutions I'm now more excited making sense out of the Problems.

Once I get this methodology in place I think it could be a fantastic resource for anyone trying to "solve" the big problems out there.

But first, let's figure out "Wildfires".

I've seen a lot of people worrying about the small advances Russia is making in eastern . They shouldn’t be. Ukraine is trading territory for time, and inflicting terrible losses on RU while doing so. They know a shit ton of heavy weapons are on the way. All they need to do is stall for time and keep their troops alive.

If you are interested in know how much CoSonaughts expect civil discussion, be aware that @Infowars has joined this community.
Think of this as an experiment in human decency. Either Alex becomes civil or he goes SPLAT :trollsplat: !

I'm feeling quite sanguine about the Russian culture at the moment. I'm going to a dark place and need to see the path back to the brighter place.
