The doctor from the future
waves his magic box
The patient jumps off the stretcher
I'm cured, I'm cured!
slow blinks from a thousand others
sinking slowly below the surface
doctor's busy saving humanity
in the future
wishes them all
the best of luck

We are leaving for Seattle in less than 2 weeks, and one of the things going through my mind, is how many copies of my books and of Dreams and Nightmares to take. If I take too many, I have to carry them for a week. I would also have less room in my bag for purchases. If I don't take enough....

It's surrealistic to see a government agency doing everything it can to undermine its own mandate to exist. The same thing is happening all over the Trump regime from the HHS to the DOE where Trump appointees appear to just be there to oversee the demise of the agency they are in charge of.
It’s hard to overstate the scale of irresponsibility involved in cutting limits on greenhouse gas emissions. This is criminal—and we’ll all pay for their rejection of reality.

Just the first of many islands to be inundated because of climate change. All the while, many industrialized nations are doing their best to exacerbate the problem.

What's going to happen to climate refugees as the far-right seeks to close doors to immigrants? We have a desperate need to be one people on one planet working together. Isolationism will be deadly.

The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia. It's the the first-ever planned migration of an entire country.
