There was a crazy idea a year or so ago that they would impeach Biden and somehow skip Harris and have the speaker of the House become president. Maybe that is their master plan.

I agree, I’ve been in many protests over the years and you could sense when something was not right. Like if the crowd built a platform to hang people on.

I’ve been doing this for the more complex books with a lot of world building.

The people who want to bring back slavery assume they won’t be the slaves. If they aren’t billionaires then they are making a big assumption.

I guess my statement was too broad, I don’t want to go to any tourist attraction that has that many. I have been in many airports and malls, but not for the joy of experiencing nature or history, my two favorite things.

I’m not happy with the Dems either, but I do believe they will fight against the elimination of free school lunches. I will vote for them even if this is all they did.

Although I’d love to see the buildings of the Acropolis I would never go anywhere that has 20,000 visitors a day. Nope.

I don’t understand how the police decided this guy hadn’t planned to attack a church for racist reasons. Sounds like they didn’t find evidence at his house about his intention to attack a black church, but that doesn’t preclude racism as a reason.

I agree, there are different learning styles.

I’m watching Foundation. Watched one episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and I might continue watching that until our subscription to Paramount Plus runs out.

Are they going to blame Ukrainian drones?

I’m re-reading the First Law series, actually listening to Steven Pacey read it to me. I recently finished Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse. I want to read A Memory Called Empire next.

This is heartbreaking.

Why do I want to put my hand in there? It just draws me in.

This point will be lost in the reaction to this new approach. These people have been paying back their debt for a long time. Errors have been made. Relief is on the way.

Its beautiful, a place for silence and contemplation.

I agree. I don’t think the enshittification of Reddit is complete yet. Just like how Elon finds more ways to make Twitter worse.

The infrastructure is not in place in the US to support really open access to research publications. The US should fund a national library system for this purpose. In the long term this would cost a lot less than supporting commercial publishers.

I am so confused by the fact that Prigozhin is not only still alive, but seems to be doing business as usual at the African Summit last week in St. Petersburg, what gives?

I am so relieved that the special prosecutor is defending the rule of law with these indictments. If the Republicans (and not just Trump) got away with trying to overturn the election we could lose our democracy. We still can, but at least they are going to trial against this would-be tyrant and some of the people who helped him.
