Back in the late 90s, I began researching this hard #SciFi #SpaceExploration tale.
Along the way, I anticipated developments like #AR (the "Visors") and a dangerously expansionist Russia ("Yefremov").
(Never saw a dime from the former!) 🤷♂️

He can still do a lot of damage on the way down...
But make no mistake, he IS on the way down.

THREAD: One reason I haven't complained about Democrats this year is the simple math that 218 House Votes & 67 Senate Votes are required for impeachment.
There is no way Democrats, ALONE can save us. Less still if we actively erode them.
What we actually need is Republicans to defect. 🧵

If you haven't read the book...well, what the hell's the MATTER with you??
Regardless, if so, do NOT watch this trailer (I mean, unless you don't give a shit about spoilery things).
If you have (or don't give that shit), you MUST watch this!!

You, @johnfetterman.com, serve no purpose in the world.
You are, in point of fact, the OPPOSITE of useful.
Your existence constitutes a net LOSS for the universe.
You're a COMPREHENSIVE Disappointment.
And MANY people will suffer and die because of your unworthy self.

The GOP has devolved into a flaccid, fascist gaggle of acolytes to the worst person EVER.
The Dems have devolved into a timid, timorous herd of invertebrates, chronically, INCURABLY incapable of holding even the brightest of lines.
It's time to flush the whole works!
BUH-bye, @schumer.senate.gov

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Yah, the fuckers have shown ALL their cards. They'll never have plausible deniability again.
One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.
The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

True story.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.
12 days of work in 107 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

He's taken on a truly daunting task.
But I like this guy.
If even a fraction of his ambitious policy agenda is successfully implemented, it's gonna make life better for a lot of folks.
And we surely could use some of that these days.
I wish him well!

Here's a decent Buckyball render. The frame should be a mite more open, more clearly anchored to the sphere, sporting RCS & other hardware. Also, the window should be a bit larger, yadda-yadda.
Still and all, it gives a pretty good sense of what I was visualizing when I wrote NIGHT MUSIC.
