"I get up early most days so that you don’t have to! 🧡🌞✌️💦🤗 A most magical sunrise over the Caicos Banks, Turks & Caicos Islands 🤩🩵🫶"
I lay below a swirling crown of gold,
As morning sunlight breaks the autumn chill.
The forest wakes in colors bright and bold,
While quiet shadows fade across the hill.

Sad mama dog Cora shut down in the shelter after her puppies were taken from her—until rescuers found them and brought them back. The moment she saw them again… Pure healing.

Horses can sense your fear, calm, or energy from a very young age. They remember the people who treat them with kindness — their scent, their voice — and show trust and affection with soft eyes, a relaxed lower lip, and by happily coming closer on their own.

Not paying taxes allows the poor corporate execs the ability to buy groceries and gasoline $$$ with US taxpayers paying their bills as the federal deficit grows. I guess that works. 🧐
Are we past the Tipping Point?
Is barbaric behavior the Standard?
Look at Russia in Ukraine 🇺🇦 💔
Endless Wars in Sudan, Tigray, Palestine, Southeast Asia, Yemen, Persian Gulf, 😞
Democracy at risk in India,
Europe, the US, Gun violence so common 😢 and corruption is blatant.
Bluesky, my refuge 🙏
An Axios reporter has just released a report that OpenAI and Anthropic execs consider a catastrophic AI event is likely in the next 6 to 12 months.
It will likely occur as a massive cyberattack shutdown of electricity, water, fuel, or other vital resources.
They’re now planning their response.
Trump’s rejection of FACT is also a rejection of HISTORY,
which will show his Profound depths of Stupidity, Vanity, Hate, Recklessness, Greed, and lack of Self-Awareness,
just like his Supporters and Partners in Crime.
The Shame on them all will last FOREVER. That’s HISTORY.
In the rainforest of Cameroon, a chimpanzee asked French photographer JC Pieri for his hands to help it drink water and, in gratitude, washed them afterward
Even the most beautiful days must surrender to the dark. Just like this sunset, relationships have a natural horizon where the light gently fades, leaving behind a sky stained with memories of what once was. 💙

What principle says the abused must submit,
Or the wronged receive no relief,
Or that truth is irrelevant,
Or that silence is duty,
Or success without decency is good?
Is there such a principle?
Will anyone admit to it?
Elon Musk and his DOGE assassins fired federal staff and shut down departments for “waste, fraud, and abuse.”
How about ICE??
Yeah, right. Hold your breath.
Whales are magnificent in so many ways.
Their modern form has been in the ocean for 15 million years.
Scientists marvel at ways whale language is like human language.
Perhaps human language is like whale language. They were here first and seem to be much smarter!
A study done by Kings College London on how AI would respond to international disagreements had shocking results.
The AI response when escalation of demands between countries went unanswered was to threaten use of nuclear weapons.
So how much involvement should military systems give to AI? 🫣
If you build AI models that,
… Have vastly more knowledge than humans,
… Process information at blazing speeds,
… And are in systems that don’t contain them,
Then why are people arguing about whether or not there’s a threat?
Sorry, find another distraction. 🤡
The “Elites”…ie: The Epstein Class …Are becoming increasingly attracted to ideas…That justify the idea…That only “some people”…Are going to make it…
Hence the rise in Fascism.
BASH: He's a US citizen
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: He wasn't arrested
BASH: He was arrested. He was later released, but he was arrested. Do Americans need to carry around proof of citizenship now?
MULLIN: If you're a citizen, you have no reason to fear
Wilhoit's Law:
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
It's fascinating to see how geography shapes politics, history & culture in an ongoing way.
The control of trade, of narrow waterways and access to shipping routes can define whole cultures, shape economies.
Seems relevant at the moment.
The Raw Truth.
With this government, Everyone and Everything is on their own.
Their view, May the Best Man (white, Christian) Win.
All else is secondary and not worthy.
To change this, Get Out the Vote!! Not just you - Everyone.
Or else … and much more …
AI is a threat to humanity. Suddenly, that’s big news.
I’ve been warning people of this for years.
Two years ago, my novel about AI taking control of humanity was published.
It’s called, 9 Minutes, it’s well regarded and has a good ending. On Amazon and other sites. Take a look. 
Marcelo Johan Ogata has an underwater encounter with a feather star (Crinoid sp.). These ancient invertebrates first appeared in the fossil record about 300 million years before the dinosaurs. #AGoodPlace
I remember it so well. Stunned. Deeply saddened. Unable to take my eyes from the TV screen.
Heroes in the buildings that guided others out. Others comforting those who couldn’t get out.
Firefighters climbed thousands of steps to help and lost their lives. Heroes dug through debris. Never forget
