So, Iran is pretty pissed off, and ok, they’re not capable of making an atomic bomb. But the certainly have the material and technical ability to make some dirty bombs, and that veils not be good.

Stop by when you’re south

From hand axe to AI, flake to chip, dust to dust, sand through an hour glass, a snake devouring its tail.
So, anyway, the amazing thing that happened, I closed my eyes to clear my head, and when I opened them, there was an entire universe in front of me. Blew my mind. Also, I mighta been stoned..,

And ironic, in that only silicon makes a rock knappable; 14 electrons, 14 neutrons, melts at 1414C, 7th most abundant in the universe, silicon to silicon, dust to dust, conchoidal fractures along molecular boundaries, make an edge 1 molecule wide, on which our entire civilization was bootstrapped.

Something truly amazing happened today. I was knapping a biface, as one does, and has done for 3 million years, just to keep the streak going, and because this millennia is no time to toss out the things that kept us alive all that time, and mostly because I find it meditative.

Story begins with Abraham about to kill his son, to appease his fear of God the unknown. All the way to the New Testaments ‘Love thy neighbor as thy self’. The epilogue, the greatest story ever told - ‘Greater love hath no man, but that he would lay down his life for his friends”. Timeless

I am an atheist, read the Bible more than once, but I have a different take than its critics.
It’s a magnificent piece of timeless literature, even had a verbatim hit on the 60’s rock charts, Turn, Turn, Turn. More though, it’s the story of consciousness from human sacrifice to turn the other cheek.

No, I am not suggesting any thing, just correcting the grim and bloody historical record. My only suggestion to my fellow Americans would be to stop voting for convicted felons, adjudicated rapists, and ignorant, selfish con men. Because when you do, this is the result.

I keep hearing “Regime change has never been achieved through the air. Never!”
This is a stupid war, but has everyone forgotten Japan? Hiroshima, Nagasaki, boom, boom, and it was over. Unconditional.

Today, my wife, Carolyn Wonderland, and I celebrate our 15th anniversary. The ‘crystal’ anniversary, they say.
So…meth, I guess? A big ball of meth?

I quote him on that often. And he coined the descriptive term ‘dildoic’. I only wish he had outlived His nemesis, Henry Kissinger.

The most beautiful I have ever seen New York City was after the blizzards of 2006, 2010, and 1996. I remember people skiing down Park Avenue. Wish I was there for this one.

Where would we be without the manic depressives among us? Still in the caves, most likely.

ChatGTP has becomes more useless every update. It’s just vague bullshit

By now it should be plain to all that there is a global conspiracy of oligarchs intent on destroying the rule of law.
If they succeed, if we fail, our children and grandchildren will live as serfs.

5 years ago, I posted this on Twitter:
“We need to find a place to kill Russians.”

Today:

It’s a joke, son.

4 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD
Leviticus 19:34

It has never been this extreme. Networks and newspapers have gotten cheaper, so billionaires have added them to their portfolios and now they’re using them to advance their real profit centers: government contracts.

The news has always been subordinate to business interests. Remember all those ads for Boeing aircraft 20 years ago? What viewer would be moved to buy one?There are endless examples of what were just bribes to the networks. Newspapers no different: “Go easy on our advertisers.” But..

Kids today are too addicted to their phones. They need to be sitting in front of the tv all day like their parents did,

This gonna hit Spanish speaking Puerto Ricans, US citizens all, the hardest, and should be unconstitutional. Freedom of speech has to include languages.

Nah

Holy fuck. - people goin nuts over normal winter weather, acting like it’s the zombie apocalypse

This fucking Greenland shitshow should never have reached the international level. It reveals the disfunction of our government that it wasn’t nipped in the bud domestically.

Goddam, I love being alive! Best thing ever, made all the divine by there being a time limit.

Fundamentally, what we have here is the triumph of people who are stupid enough to think they are really smart.
And they are angry, because all their lives people have dismissed their supposed brilliance, and now their hare-brained ideas are the law of the land, but they are just as stupid.

Remembering the Civil Rights struggle of the 60’s, the non-violent strategy of Reverend King was effective, but didn’t actually achieve results until the Black Panthers, Malcolm X, and others became the alternative. “You want the honey, or you want the sting?” You need both.

Tim Walz is a fool. ‘Safe and legal’ protests are not going to work. These people won’t stop until they are stopped.

Yeah, one the reasons they tried to secede is because they wanted to have their own army to expand their slave empire south and west.
