@NanoRaptor I was inspired by Apple's "Knowledge Navigator" video of 1987...a view of the world of computing 20 + years into the future.....The video & audio quality aren't brilliant...but...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umJsITGzXd0&t=43s

@lauren I’ve often winced at just how easy it would be to take out the electric grid. Burying the lines would make it harder but so too would thousands of microgrids serving smaller areas of urban regions.Solar goes from DC to AC (via inverter) then back to low-voltage DC at our appliances (tv, computers, washer-driers etc)..hmmmm…with microgrids we could go from DC generation straight to low voltage DC appliances with less energy wastage than our current system.

@DrALJONES The First Ammendment behind which these psychos hide cloaks their divisive, violent rhetoric aiming to establish a brutal theocracy in the US whose crazed actions would make for a chilling Stephen King horror novel.Turns out the “Free Speech” isn’t free when it seeks to do harm to a free democracy.

@DrALJONES Thank you. Troubling times for sure. But democracy isn’t a spectator sport!

@Bargdaffy @DrALJONES It is indeed. Frustrating , troubling, destructive…you name it. When an economic system treats every living & inanimate thing as an exploitable commodity from which profits are to be extract as quickly and for as long as possible the entire biosphere ends up being destroyed. This is what we are witnessing & experiencing every day. And its ONLY the 1% who, for the moment, are benefitting and flaunting their success grotesquely for all to see.

@copter_chief Trump, who I suspect has been groomed for decades by the KGB and since the early 2000s, by Putin, should have been indicted by the DOJ by the summer of 2021 for his criminal acts including retaining and hiding top secret military plans.What better way to completely enfeeble and neutralize Russia’s most potent adversary than install a malignant narcissist like Trump as POTUS. Putin knows that all he has to do is stand back & let Trump be himself.

@stargazersmith @copter_chief EXACTLY!!Not indicting Trump after his attack on the Capitol and his retaining top secret national security documents is yielding the same results as the Nuremberg Trials going after hundreds of SS and Wermacht soldiers while leaving Hitler’s inner circle free to live like Royalty, poisoning post war Germany’s airwaves and print mediaIf the Allies had done what Garland did, Germany would never have recovered.
