Must have liberal democracy and progressive policies. Nature is my church. Science, art, humor, Tao, kindness, acceptance. Ret'd ad producer and motion camera. Here to learn, laugh, meet, interact, care. And to fight the MAGA oligarchy and AI.

The Cost of War

β€œPresident Trump has chosen – yes, chosen – to fund his war instead of lowering the cost of your health care, groceries, and gas.

Pro-democracy Iranians will likely hate the U.S. for a generation or more after this horrible fiasco.

Sometimes you want to lure your nemesis into the catacombs for a perfectly innocent reason. Everyone's so paranoid these days

Generative AI is created from blatant, daylight robbery. These tech companies compete to steal creative people's work and livelihoods.

trump is desperate to get out of the Iranian fiasco with something he can call a win. He'd give in to almost anything putin claims will give trump what he needs.
