Old hippie. Lived on "The Hill" in Boulder, CO Summer of 1967. Drugs, sex and R&R to the max made me a terminal Lib. I've done a lot of things in my life. Education: Math and Computer Science. Doesn't make me an expert. No DM's unless a friend.

We don't have the likes of Mr. Murrow right now. Cause everyone would rather be rich. And not rock the boat.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 14h

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

It's going to take some secession now. Europe found that. And so must we.

Gutless red-state governors are bending over backwards to do Trump’s bidding – and they’re taking down democracy with them.

California is fighting back! VOTE Yes on Prop 50! #YesOnProp50

"Money is the root of all evil." It's just as simple as that. Lots of false prophets out there who have money

Think I've had enough. Going to drive over Hovenweep National Monument for a few days. I don't expect any reception. Probably won't come back here until go over to Cortez to get reception for my weekly on-line therapy session. Srta hate to leave this place.

And this, folks is how we frame those other people. Most of the rubes won't get it, but enough will. Plus it will drive "those other people" crazy. Especially, the ones at the top. Cause they'll know that enough of us are on to them. Then, like the French did...

Not at all. One must realize that my technology experience sort of ends... When we soldered wires to 1's and 0's terminal posts in order to make 8-bit programs.

G Albrecht @mscdgrad.bsky.social · 1d

Responded to the thread. The energy of this set puts tears in my eyes.

@chipoet.bsky.social Thanks for the follow. That it is a confession. We should have recognized that Mackivalian shit when it started happening with Carl Rove. But we didn't. And here we are.

@coug78us.bsky.social When I lived in Phoenix, I lived next to a guy who was Nixon's last attorney general for a short time. His name was Kleindinest. He went to prison too. For something totally different.

@hermitary.myatproto.social Thanks for the follow. I tried to get COVID back in 2919, but it didn't take.

G Albrecht @mscdgrad.bsky.social · 1d

Gotta say this. Out here in the wilderness, and listening to the rain hit the the roof on mom's van, with an illegal, (in Utah) toke or two, is about as good as life gets.

G Albrecht @mscdgrad.bsky.social · 1d

@artemisnow.bsky.social It was always an experiment. However, social consciousness did not keep up with the technical progress we made after the revolution. We are still those same people who had slaves and slaughtered indigenous people.

I feel your pain. Had lunch with those guys all the time. I am perplexed. Think it might have something to do with the perception of manhood. I get that. But why cut off one's nose to spite one's face.

G Albrecht @mscdgrad.bsky.social · 1d

So, out here in Monument Valley, and Internet is really hit or miss. And I'm not going to get fucking Starlink. So For those who have followed me recently, please be patient. Meanwhile here's an earlier picture out of the back of Mom's old '95 Chevy van.

@cgiken.bsky.social Thanks for the follow. I worked with a lot of electrical contractors most of my working life as a sub for fire alarm systems. And on my own for generator CO2 suppression. What happened to my blue collar brethren that they voted for Trump?
