Let’s very briefly recap before continuing on our journey. We are trapped on a planet, orbiting a star that itself is orbiting a disc-like stellar system we call the galaxy, our Milky Way, filled with stars and gas and dust, and – at its heart – a huge black hole.

Supposedly #Americans are mad about Trump but the only thing I'm seeing is a few dozen people at a Tesla dealership or a few hundred or maybe a couple thousand protesting cuts. Until the streets are flooded with 10s of thousands (like Budapest), my opinion is you're too damn lazy to save democracy.

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.
