Yeah, but unless you can stop all the rest of the human race from getting one, you are only gaining a momentary advantage.

Hello social medias...

You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.

You can help and make a difference:

Given how obsessed I was with Star Trek tie-in novels for a time, this is relevant to my interests. Huh.

I lived in a very small town in West Tennessee for several, back in the 80s, which is where I first heard the phrase “yellow dog Democrat,” which is defined as a person who would vote for a yellow dog if it was on the Democrat ticket. That’s me, here, now, and for the foreseeable future.

Nicotine provides a powerful and almost instant relief from anxiety. That’s what makes it so addictive.

I was torn, after my dad died, 'cause I really wanted my mom's 1960 teak dining room suite, but I didn't have a dining room. "Augh!" as Charlie Brown would say.

It is infuriating. I assumed that surely by now (if not a year ago) doctors would be prescribing Metformin for anyone with SARS-CoV-2 who could take it. It's an affordable drug that is safe for many people to take-- why wouldn't that be a thing? (Alas . . . )

I haven't been posting much about SARS-CoV-2 because I'm exhausted and haven't been keeping up with things the way I used to. I remain appalled by how poorly this has been handled. There are so many things that could be done to help protect people & the folks in charge just won't do them.

Oakland-based Sasha Matson, in a Stereophile Magazine speaker review, informed me of the publication of the Grateful Dead’s performance at the Fillmore West, February 28th, 1969, which led, eventually, back to this old favorite! “Early morning madness music!” as Grace Slick proclaimed!

PERFORMATIVE DESPAIR IS NOT A POLITICAL STRATEGY. Do not conjure your own imagined demise. In particular, don't do it collectively, on a communication system meant to amplify emotional contagion. (simpler/more esoteric: don't do death magic at collective scale on your own minds, for fuck's sake)

Nothing has actually changed. You have a choice between congresspeople and senators and AGs and school board reps It’s a long damn ticket to examine for your vote, just like you had last week. Nothing about Joe and that felon has changed. Eyes on the structural prize.

Gonna keep saying this & will die on this hill: Bad news without any guidance on what to do about it [at least some ideas] demobilizes and often encourages inaction. We on the Left(s) have to avoid cynicism which is deeply corrosive and also counterrevolutionary.
