   oh ho ho

   yep.

   looks like the trump campaign figured out reason nr. 1 in my list and are absolutely freaking the fuck out.

   So they’ll be pivoting to denialism and Plan B/Coup II probably full-time now. But the bigger the gap, the fewer people will go in with them, so we need every vote in every state, because Coup II all about the psychological.

   Time to bring it home, team. Let’s get it done.

   This is a gentle reminder that if you live in the U.S. to be aware that peoples nerves will be on high alert the closer we get to the election.

   It can really stress people out.

   So while you're out in the world today, remember that the little acts of kindness that you share with others can go a long way towards smoothing out their day and your own.

   Give a deserved compliment.
   Hold a door open for someone.
   Use your manners. (manners are how we show we care.)

   Every little bit of kindness helps.

   Our children suffer all we proclaim just fellow citizen Warner Crocker.

   But there is a better way, and many have presented alternative paths to change the course of humanity.

   We need only choose one, and pursue it unto the beginning of a new and compassionate world, for all of us.

   "A Grand Challenge

   My friends, the simple truth is that we are wasting our precious time, resources, intellect, and passion. As a species we are just as aimless today as when our primitive ancestors first ventured out upon this earth.

   Today I am proposing that for the first time in human history, we change that.
   Radically.

   More than any time in history, humanity needs a grand challenge. Not only to avert its extinction, but also to indelibly etch the common bond of mutual reliance and cooperation on current and future generations.

   Fortunately, all of the forces that now seem to conspire against us can quickly be turned to our advantage.

   For the first time in human history we actually possess technologies so advanced that any physical problem can potentially be solved.

   And yet, I wonder, do we possess the will and wisdom to utilize them for our salvation instead of our destruction?

   I propose that we find out.

   So today I offer you a radical and stark choice between two future realities.

   An aimless future of continued war and conflict, with all its accompanying suffering and death; or a limitless future dedicated to defeating suffering and death itself, with all its accompanying technological advancement and social evolution.

   Yes indeed, I have a new plan, for all of you. A plan of hope. A plan of adventure. A plan of such extraordinary magnitude as to take the breath, and challenge the senses, of all who would consider it. A plan to bind our common people in hope, and finally free our conscience for noble purpose.

   I propose that in the next three decades we at last end the scourge of human disease upon this Earth, and begin the inevitable adventure of humanity's migration beyond it.

   We shall at last unlock the fundamental secrets of our biology so we may conquer any illness or defect at will, and we shall free ourselves from the bonds of our native home so we may evade global calamities, and begin the expansion of our species beyond this world.

   No longer shall our survival be dependent upon the random and dispassionate forces of nature. No longer shall we quiver in anguish as we helplessly watch those we love suffer and die in agony from an endless list of human disease and dysfunction. No longer shall our globe be divided in constant turmoil and conflict while the hammer of fate hangs precariously balanced over all we know and love.

   We shall at last take control of our future, our fate, and ourselves.

   No other endeavor ever attempted by humankind will require more genius, dedication, compassion, and sacrifice.

   And no other endeavor ever attempted by humankind will be more vital to the continued existence of our species.

   I understand that for many this may initially seem like pure science fiction. This is to be expected since the scales of the threats we face reside within the scope of what we have always considered to be science fiction. However, in reality, all of these goals are well within our technological reach. They are the quickest, and I believe only, way for our species to battle both the physical and societal threats that will continue to confront us."

   from Barack Obama

   There are only 50 days left until Election Day. And there's too much at stake to sit this one out.

   So get involved in any way you can. Knock on doors or make phone calls for the Harris-Walz campaign. Talk to your friends, family, and neighbors ...(more)

   The escalating minimum.

   How I’ve always described the Western support received by Ukraine.

   Ukraine is the European dream and so attacking it is attacking the soul of Europe. Europe simply cannot let Ukraine fall and will do the absolute bare minimum to keep it up. Russia cannot accept losing either, so it will keep upping the ante to overwhelm the current state, hoping for the West to back out or be corrupted out.

   So it’s a strength test. Ukrainian troops outmatch Russia’s, no problem there despite numbers. Economically, Italy 🇮🇹, an EU mid-table, is stronger than Russia on its own. Russia cannot win and this is why I have always been, and remain, confident that #Ukraine will win.

   Sadly however, there is a big emotional gap between not letting Ukraine lose and the logically obvious Ukraine must win. So in government policy, the minimum continues.

   However, Russia just escalated with a potential game changing supply of cruise missiles from Iran. So right now, the West is working out if they need to raise their minimum. They may not do so if they feel they don’t need to. I’m hoping they do.

   Even though we are telegraphing any use of long range strikes, Russia is so bad at war, it might still provide a surprise attack. Even if not, it would be good to take the inhibitor off.

   So that is where we are and what is going on.

   I was up early to set out broken furniture for Recology. Which meant I was awake to smell smoke. I looked out my window and some dude had set a fire against my garage door. I yelled at him to put the fire out but he couldn't, so I had to get a hose and put it out.

   So that's the start of my Tuesday.
