The thing is, a message that’s simple, resonates, and allows people to blame others will always win out over a message calling people to pull their own weight and do the complicated but correct things.

Here’s one: where do you put things like The Long Earth where it’s not time you step through per-se, but all the possible futures starting from the beginning of the universe?
I really want to see someone make that series into a movie.
I try to blend in and avoid posting my main privacy activities in public.
Despite what they say, while obfuscation may not be secure, it sure helps with privacy.
If he runs again anyway, what are you going to do? Sue the POTUS in federal court?
Some of them are talking publicly about Gaetz, so they might. Or, Trump might nominate so many other Russian assets that Gabbard looks goid in comparison and sneaks through. Or, recess might be called, allowing Trump to appoint his entire slate of doom with no opposition.

I’d say the comparison between Edison and Musk is pretty spot-on. Both were men who were better at taking credit and monetizing an idea than at improving things for the common people.

Besides Edison’s famous rivalry with Tesla, he also made a LOT of money as a patent troll. He’d buy patents for cheap from starving inventors and then sue anyone who made anything remotely similar. He’s even the one responsible for the precursor to the MPAA - the Motion Picture Patent Company.
Like Musk, Edison wasn’t stupid, and had some business sense. He knew how to take advantage of others, and had no reservations for doing so if it got him further ahead. He wasn’t above ruining someone’s reputation if he couldn’t beat them at technology or business.
Leaving, unfortunately, just gives you less power. The US plays in a global sandbox.
Going low gets you power. It doesn’t tend to get you long term good results.
The universe tends towards entropy.
Whenever I hear about Canada and the White House in the same sentence, it reminds me of that little event in 1812….
How about we delay it for… hmm… four years and three months?
Thank you, CBC. I’ve had it with PostMedia.
Wait… why would the leader of the face eating leopard party appoint a LEOPARD to the post of Facial Analysis?
