Retired software thingy. An explorer without an obsession, so I’m an inch deep, but a mile wide. And a voice to match. No Republican is fit to hold public office.

Ah, hon, it's "equality politics", as in everyone would like to be treated equally, not redlined or over charged for being black, underpaid and overcharged for being female, unmarried for being gay, or being asked to show papers for being brown. Get with reality, dear.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Had a lovely discussion with #Lynae out on a run, about the possibility of a hard drive or SSD found 6K yrs from now being as readable as the 6k yrs old papyrus scrolls and cuneiform tablets left to us to decipher.

Living Dem Presidents have spoken out against the fascism being installed in #Drumpf’s name.
Why not Bush Jr?
Because Cheney, who ran that Admin, won’t let him.
Why not?
Because #Drumpf is doing everything Cheney WANTES to do.

[email protected] writes about how the other endless war out there, in Ukraine, is not a situation amenable to Trump’s approach of clumsy, heavy-handed pressure.

Why Can’t a Trump Deal End the War in Ukraine?

Compared to Gaza, Ukraine is much tougher. And that's saying a lot.

In Montgomery AL there’s a bus station converted to The FreedomRiders Museum. The local establishment learned the lesson of cameras. In their case, before the station and a bus were attacked by the local racists, the still and movie cameras of all reporters meeting the bus were smashed. So no photos

Let me remark on Goldman’s BOOK The Princess Bride. I was asked to stop reading it or leave the IHOP where I was reading it. Too F’ing funny.
However, the hilarity seemed to fade after chapter 6 or so.

Most of #Drumpf’s plan is a minor revision of the January Biden plan that created a 6wk ceasefire and released over 30 hostages in Feb and March.
But no big marketing/media push from the Trump/Bibi operations like today’s actually smaller event.

The cease-fire agreement signed by Hamas and Israel is based on the first stage of a detailed plan put forward by President Trump. But the future is murky: Many of the plan’s ambitious ideas for postwar Gaza have yet to be negotiated. nyti.ms/477mI0L
