7.8 Open Thread
Elsa dumped a lot of rain on my area but no reports of flooding, so far anyway. 🍀Still, a fully formed hurricane this early in the storm season is just more evidence of climate change. The Nest is Open. 😊👍

I corrected the date as pb4 also posted an OT for yesterday. We dodged a bullet with Elsa, but we still have 4 months to get through. Hope our luck holds. 🍀
Drats ! I didn’t see your post, pb4. T and R, !!☮️😊👍
no worries!
I’m glad you are allright!

although i appreciate the article, this frame is part of the problem, imho.
it’s not “good intentions.”. It’s donor money and a good old boy way of doing things that kills people regularly.
If the media told the truth and investigated so many things, Bernie would’ve been president in 2016 and we’d be on our way to solving this fracking mess.
Is it possible if the Rs take the house in 22 and enough GQP fascists get in we may never see a certified election if anyone but an GQP R is the president elect?

It is going to be a very expensive race.
Three yahoos of megalomaniacal creepdom. 🙁
Glad I have avoided them like the plague since I had some business with them a long time ago.
Glad the Mrs work place pulled the 401k from them.
Did they not get COVID money? I bet Katie Porter wi is on Govt Oversight will be asking some questions.
indeed.
I don’t think high rollers care.

On Tuesday this session had Thomas Nail talking about his new book “A New Theory of The Earth”
His major source of insight is the Roman poet Lucretius. Here he is talking about this. A French philosopher claims that he was the founder of nonlinear hydrodamics, which is still one of the unsolved problems of physics. Nail is a philosopher of movement .. something important but little studied.
Nail got into this area by working as a radical with migrants which are movements of people, and then the topic of borders, all the while searching for a theoretical basis of movement which he describes here.
Lucretius: Our Contemporary
Socialist but not DSA endorsed.

I hope they are rallying behind her now.
And DSA needs to hear more voices.
