NEVER hire anyone for any position in any situation who refuses to answers questions during an interview or hearing that is necessary to have the most pertinent questions raised and answered honestly. This man should not be hired or appointed based on his refusals.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

We’re the coolest country, we’re the hottest country. Whatever, ad infinitum.

Yes: "Refuse to prioritize male camaraderie over female safety.
This is not a political position. It is a human one. Men, we are capable of better. The question is whether we will choose it—or whether we will continue to watch the consequences of our collective failure accumulate."

If you're constantly upset about the Constitution being ignored, the public being gaslighted, corruption parading as justice, then you might appreciate this 30 min episode of Cinema Therapy re: "the Joker" as a chilling agent of confusion, chaos, & cruelty. Helpful.

“Our country wants to live again."

🚨 Euphoria in Budapest!

Tens of thousands of people are flooding the streets to celebrate the opposition’s stunning victory. The scenes in the metro are absolutely incredible.

What a night! 🇭🇺✨

Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

and what a pleasure it was to follow this story of internationality, intelligence, diversity, science, eloquence, democracy, and joy in action by people working together for days, weeks, months and in complete contrast to the sloppy rampage of stupidity. We can, after all, live in Relation.

Going to get some great images from NASA in the coming days. Here’s a couple of post-splashdown snaps of actual heroes.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Days after threatening to wipe out an entire civilization the President is now using this unconstitutional war to hock stocks on social media. Someone in his Administration is profiting off this abuse of power.

Will be watching the splashdown with great interest, eager to join all who will be welcoming the return of deep perspectives back to Earth—so appreciative of life on Earth—in contrast to the shallow mindlessness of so much destructiveness. May our humanity, also, splashdown safely & soon.

Absurd. They laugh-off everything problematic as “only temporary” while ceaselessly kicking the can down the road, and around and around its dead end.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.

War is now normalized as merely a business tactic. Destruction as capital. Why would anyone be upset about the loss of life, reason, morality, or whole civilizations as long as Big Money can be made? What a fool will believe….

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Absolutely amazing.

May the Living World overcome the war-ravaged, human-tormented campaign of mindless ignorence. Ignorence may not be an official term, but I’m coining it to signify “the ignorance that ignores the life of life.” The stakes just are too high.

Btw: don’t overlook the honeybee below. Reverdure!

“This is not an explaining time, this is a stopping time."

I’ve been longing for someone to state this emphatically in public. Prof. Jason Johnson (Morgan State Univ.) expressed it well last night. Start at 7:02 mark & end at 9:01 mark on the full video.

Agreed. Extremely important issue, need, and desire:

“Clearly, there’s a demand for making human-made works easier for consumers to identify, so creatives, regulators, and authentication agencies need to pick which approach to rally behind.”

Dark, foreboding skies above a man in a red hat with a whip as he drives a horse-drawn circus wagon with red curtains and an elephant inside toward the US Capitol. A dark bird of prey sits in a dark tree in the upper left hand corner. Ominous, prophetic image from Oct 2024 cover of The Atlantic magazine.

This cover image for The Atlantic from October 2024 was prophetic and remains apt.
