I wrote about the reaction to the shooting of a CEO.

"It seems to me that when you create a world where human life has been made as cheap as possible, you will eventually find you live in a world where your human life is deemed by others to be cheap, too."

Peaceful Solutions
On respectable and profitable human-suffering engines, the murder of a CEO, propriety in a land where life has been cheapened, and some good news for those who seek peaceful solutions.

When i say republicans worked to secure their power at every single level, this is what i mean: A decades-long process of getting their people to understand that they need to stack & manipulate state & local courts & legislatures & then *Never Stop Doing That.*

We don't have that long. Learn it now
The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.

And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.

The first hint I had that something was amiss in late December, 2019, was a post from @helenbranswell.bsky.social about a pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan, China.

Here's Helen speaking about three recent, abnormal H5N1 cases. It's not panic time yet, but it's worth paying attention.

FYI, North Carolinians, worth noting this did NOT pass the legislature with a supermajority so there is a possibility Cooper's inevitable veto will be sustained. Worth your time to tell your legislator to hold firm.

Heads up:

North Carolina Republicans just voted to strip the state's incoming Democratic governor and attorney general of key powers — passing a sweeping bill before the GOP most likely loses its veto-proof supermajority in the Legislature next year.
