Goodness. Closing beautifully with Vito Marcantonio: “If it be radicalism to believe that our natural resources should be used for the benefit of all, and not for the purpose of enriching just a few, then I plead guilty to the charge.”
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Gavin Newsome stated that Republicans actions are a “five alarm fire for our Democracy” & we need to “fight fire with fire.” He has criticized Democrats for their perceived inaction.
Do you agree that all Democrats need to act with a sense of urgency & do whatever it takes to stop Trump & his gang?

The very definition of “special treatment” from the Trump admin for the most notorious convicted child sex trafficker in America. Why? Because she’s protecting Trump.

This level of interference in a state election is now possible because SCOTUS says that money is equivalent to free speech. And we’ve allowed vast sums of money to be accumulated by individuals. Ban billionaires.
NEW: Elon Musk is trying to buy Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, spending millions to install bought-and-paid-for MAGA extremist Brad Schimel.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

What DS has done was to slightly dent the old maxim that software designers will always waste whatever the hardware designers invent. But historically this maxim held as the demand for speed, storage and transmission has continued to explode. So expect the bumpy ride to continue.

I suspect that it will become clearer that the limit on this tech will be availability of usable data for training—not the hardware. I expect some kind of organized attack on copyright law so that AI (sic) designers have legal cover to plunder the world’s libraries.

In a world polarized by “Us and Them”. I Just read David French’s piece in NYT. Here’s the lead:
“When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins.”
Benjamin Cremer, a Wesleyan pastor and writer who is based in Idaho, posted that thought last year.
