Let your plans be dark and impenetrable
Building Your Generation
The first step -- especially for young people with energy and drive and talent, but not money -- the first step in controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.

Twisted Outrages Of Invisible Friends in Texas
Texas has caused Feelings |
So much has happened to the Rape State of Texas. It's gone from Lone Star to One star over the last couple of months. The myth of the Alamo has been laid out, and how that sausage of myth got made into the Jim Crow South of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Which, with a dash of irony, points out some systemic troubles with Critical Race Theory. Instead of cultural education, and understanding of historic issues, they are now building their own out-rage(d)ous fortune. But that's not all the Ape State has been up to these last couple of months. No, when Texas goes, it goes big.

Break the Blocks and Kick Your Muse
Religion and Science and the Space in Between
With Religion you find a belief and then spend your days exploring and improving your faith in that belief. In Science, you find a belief and then spend your days trying to prove it wrong.

Biden Losing His Mind and ... WAIT! There's More!
Framed in DEEP.
Really, he's right. We're never going to get this past the political panics and walls in time. You can tweet its Dems or Reps, but that's not helping. Tweet what one side or the other is DOING about it. https://t.co/uPfu9LtgWI

Hospital Bed Capacity -- Oklahoma
Bed Capacity and usage in Oklahoma. Used this to partially verify a claim that gunshot victims were having to wait for attention because of the number of OD case from horse dewormer - a story which broke this morning -- perhaps you saw it. As far as capacity, well.. OK doesn't have many "hospitals" with ICUs.
Infrastructure (Ports and Rail)
And on top of All of THAT... infrastructure. Oh, yeah, we need that... This is the current view around the Port of Los Angeles. Most of the problem is that these ships ... these cargo ships are now twice the size they were 20 years ago. We haven't upgraded for 70 years, so these ships don't fit like they should. And once we unload them, we don't have the trains to take the cargo out of the docks -- or trucks. Some of these cargo ships have been floating out there for more than 3 months.
Science and Belief
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man’s life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.

Take the Hyperloop For Pizza in Chicago
With this, we could meet in Chicago for pizza dinner, or go to a steakhouse in Kansas City -- all of us -- and still be home that night in time to get some sleep on a Thursday night.
The Mandate on Vaccines
I think that people want to live. To remain healthy. If you are infected and you don't have symptoms, that doesn't mean you aren't damaged. Lungs, Brain, Heart. Vaccines help with that.
I think Right-wing extremists, and to some extent even more mainstream R/media rely on financial support from companies selling nutritional supplements and miracle cures — and that financial support is arguably a significant factor pushing the right to become more extreme.
Vaccines work. Don't get that twisted. They don't "Cure". They work. Besides that, it should be law. It's not hindering anyone's legal rights. Jacobson v Massachusetts says so. So do a lot of others. This isn't new. You are already mandated to vaccines. They don't even need to write the law really, except as a Call to Action.
Be Better. Stop Promoting Harm.
From Jacobson v Mass
The liberty secured by the Constitution of the United States does not import an absolute right in each person to be at all times, and in all circumstances, wholly freed from restraint, nor is it an element in such liberty that one person, or a minority of persons residing in any community and enjoying the benefits of its local government, should have power to dominate the majority when supported in their action by the authority of the State.
It is within the police power of a State to enact a compulsory vaccination law, and it is for the legislature, and not for the courts, to determine
Forces of Henry Adams
Modern politics is, at bottom, a struggle not of men but of forces. The men become every year more and more creatures of force, massed about central power-houses. The conflict is no longer between the men, but between the motors that drive the men, and the men tend to succumb to their own motive forces.
~ Henry Adams ~
... What I would ask Mr. Adams is -- 'And once that has happened…then what?' Is there no alternative? Or is this by design? Is this Democracy as advertised? I agree that Mr. Adams' description fits the bottom of politics, but is this firm curved shape what we want to spank? What makes it 'modern'?
And Long Remains the Blame
"The country is as polarized as it was two months ago, and the trajectory of the contest is essentially unchanged, with Biden holding a comfortable lead in national polling and having multiple paths to 270 electoral votes."While daily developments give the cable television networks something to chatter about, today's big story will be replaced by a new one tomorrow, and another one the day after that. But the fundamentals of the race remain unchanged."

Erotica of the Mind and Soul
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings -- of tarnishings.”
