The universe is neutral, people are not. Issues rarely simple, progress rarely difficult. Thinking is deliberate.

I want to go on record making a prediction: If Trump can clearly demonstrate his second term was stolen in 2020 and he is physically able to run in 2028, a constitutional exception will be made so Israel gets a second term.

“We’re quick to label anyone “horrible”. The truth is that people are complex. Some of us hold horrible views about one or two particular groups or situations. There are people who are absolutely delightful in a great many ways… and yet they can say utterly shocking things out of thin air that leave you reeling and appalled.” https://www.quora.com/Was-Roald-Dahl-a-horrible-person/answer/Jean-Marie-Valheur?ch=10&oid=1477743874087924&share=4bd2b994&srid=niL0&target_type=answer

“Pay attention!” What an interesting phrase. How many times have you heard it? Have you ever thought about it? It just now occurred to me that “attention” is currency, a value you exchange (pay) for another value. How have you been “spending” your attention? Let’s see: Who is Richard Feynman? Who is Cody Bellinger? Hmm 🤔 “Currency” What an interesting word. … 😉

“Looking for Content from a Previous Administration?” Whaaaaaa? A deep dive now requires visiting a multitude of aquariums! “We create an archive of the State.gov website at the end of each presidential administration. This has been a standard practice since the end of the Clinton Administration in 2001. If the content you’re looking for is from a prior administration, you can search our archive sites. Thank you for visiting state.gov.”

IRS Form 9297 (June 2024) titled, “Summary of Taxpayer Contact,” is basically an asset and document request form used in preparation for a meeting with an agent. Note the section “virtual currency” asks for statements, actual public keys (so far so good) and who has access to private keys. Though there appears to be a degree of control left with taxpayer, but in the event of a data breach, wouldn’t this expose the named individuals potentially to some form of coercion? image
