Map maker, martial artist, cook, reader of things, and occasionally a mad scientist. I also work in forestry and help with wildfires. If a doomsday weapon goes off, I might not be to blame.

Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis!

The new COVID variant seems to be evading immunity from vaccines and past infections. COVID cases are up 250% in NYC. Remember the more you get covid your risk for long covid increases significantly.

Due to the fireworks, New York City's air quality is the worst in the world tonight.

When AQI is low, it's a good idea to wear a mask to protect your health.

But this could soon be a crime, as one of the mask ban bills prohibits masks at "lawful assemblies."

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

Look at this link at the bottom of the New York Times' "Don't vote" opinion piece. They didn't run this as a one-off. They're trying to turn non-voting into a thing. Repugnant.

One thing I have seen over the last 20 years: People who live out in the forest or out past the edge of civilization tend to get...strange. Like the woman in San Diego County who beheaded 200 Barbies and hung the bodies on one tree. The heads were hung on another tree.

Imagine for one second if the NYT marshaled its massive influence towards voter registration, towards supporting voting rights groups, towards encouraging people to vote and fighting people who try to stop people from voting. Imagine if the NYT actually championed participatory democracy.

The NYT also allowed him to exclude his partisan inclinations. From the 2018 piece: "In a bland way I hope to see Republicans control various state and national offices. This arises from a single issue: the legality of abortion."

More anti-democratic thoughts from 2018 the NYT allowed this writer to exclude from his current piece. Delivered with an air of detached irony, as if he miiight be joking or exaggerating. But is he?

As far as I'm concerned anyone telling people not to vote, in this election or any other, is doing for malign purposes, and the only correct response is "Well now I am going to vote EVEN HARDER."

CDC: COVID is a health threat that can surge all year round.

NY Democrats: The pandemic is over, let's ban masks!

The mask ban is anti-science, anti-public health, anti-safety.

There is also every reason to think that this court will expand Trump v. U.S in his second term to extend immunity to those doing his bidding. I.e., “Our holding in Trump v. U.S. demands that government officials be able to enact the will of the executive without fear of criminal proceedings.”
