Deep breath. Resurrecting the aging oil pastels to process the shot going on in a healthy way & reclaim the #artist in me. These gems are from budding young local artists & are on display at the #library.

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads:
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

BREAKING: SpaceX's Starship EXPLODES, causing FAA to halt flights at 4 major airports

The previous Starship also exploded, in January

THIS is why FAA probed SpaceX for safety

And THIS is why Musk has been trying to kill FAA - and why he should NOT get any more govt contracts

β€œTo achieve the rigor of specificity, more Americans …should β€˜taboo’ DEI…Doing so would force us to better understand our own claims and make them more legible. It would help us better understand what others think, and to achieve sensible policies rather than careening between totalizing extremes.”

2/3 β€œWhen you find yourself in philosophical difficulties, the first line of defense is not to define your problematic terms, but to see whether you can think without using those terms at all.” He says β€œsummon β€˜the actual details’ until you can replace the symbols with the substance.”

1/3 Excellent, nuanced article about the lack of common understanding of β€œDEI.”
β€œIn…Taboo, a player tries to get a partner to guess a word, such as margarita, without saying” the obvious ones. The AI researcher and writer Eliezer Yudkowsky urges β€œtabooing” words to help clarify their meaning.

DEI Has Lost All Meaning We can’t debate its merits when we don’t agree on what it is.

The main characters maintain a lighthouse and desperately want children but they’ve faced 3 infant losses. Then one day a baby and a dead man wash up on the beach. And a few years later they learn about the birth mother…

Calling your elected officials DOES matter. Help correct the skew to the right (conservatives call FAR more than progressives). Video from AOC. www.facebook.com/share/r/18Uh...

Introducing the ELON MUSK Act
YouTube video by repmarkpocan Introducing the ELON MUSK Act

Elon Musk is grifting the American taxpayers. I'm fighting back with the ELON MUSK Act to ban "Special Government Employees" like Musk from holding government contracts.
