Living a blue life under blue skies. Though I love facts and learning about the worlds of science, nature and the arts, I meditate to see the big picture as well.

A corrupt banker was being prosecuted for bribery, so his daughter donated $2.5M to Trump's super PAC—and suddenly, Trump's DOJ overruled career prosecutors and let him off with a fucking misdemeanor.
It’s crazy how easy it is to bribe these people.

The easiest position in any company for artificial intelligence to replace is the CEO and the CFO. They certainly couldn't be any less heartless

For half the world, winter begins today. I love Rilke's notion of it as the season for "tending to your inner garden" www.themarginalian.org/2015/01/12/r...
Rilke on Winter as the Season for Tending to Your Inner Garden
“What does living come down to but bringing about those changes in ourselves … which can free us to enjoy a richness and closeness with everyone?”

All Republicans in Congress are faced with a choice. They either stand with Trump, Vance and Putin, or they stand with Ukraine, Europe, most Americans, and the civilized world. Of course, there is also a 3rd option which most of them usually choose - cowardly silence.

Literally one of the main reasons why FBI missed Jan6 is bc Bill Barr had the FBI chasing Antifa.
All the Proud Boys had been turned "informants" on Antifa.

You’ve got to assume that any real organised crime or terror groups in the US know the FBI isn’t tracking them as closely as they used to.
That could be very bad indeed – and if so, you can expect to see the clips of congressional testimony like today’s many, many times.

Kinda wild that the organization the FBI considers the biggest domestic threat is ... largely imaginary.

Now he’s attacking Democrats for saying same.
