Sports are great because you get to watch actually talented people do amazing things inside a meritocracy and get rewarded for success and punished for failure — which is the literal opposite of most everything else in American society, especially politics and media.

In the early 1980s, Sagan and a small team of atmospheric scientists used computer models to warn that even a “limited” nuclear war could loft enough smoke and dust to plunge the planet into years of freezing darkness, famine, and collapse “nuclear winter.” NASA’s Ames Research Center, where key collaborators worked, was nervous. The director feared Reagan administration backlash and political retaliation against the agency’s funding. Sagan stepped in, leveraging his public profile from Cosmos to override the objections and green-light the work. The team published their findings in Science, and Sagan followed with a vivid cover story in Parade magazine that reached millions. Despite fierce opposition from Edward Teller and others who called it alarmist, Sagan testified before Congress. The idea shifted global thinking on nuclear arms; years later, Mikhail Gorbachev credited it with helping end the Cold War.

Jesse Ventura: “I’m still not over January 6th. That was treason. All of the people should have been arrested and put in prison all the way to Trump because he and Giuliani and all of them orchestrated the whole thing. He tried to violate the Constitution”

We have seen Weird Times in this country before, but this year is beginning to look super weird. This time, there really is nobody flying the plane. . . . We are living in dangerously weird times now. Smart people just shrug and admit they’re dazed and confused. The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the operative ethic.

We can no longer tolerate a rigged tax code that enables billionaires to pay a lower effective tax rate than the average worker & corporations like Tesla & Palantir to pay ZERO in federal income taxes while making billions in profits. Yes. The wealthy must pay their fair share.

Jeff Bezos, worth $233 billion, wants to raise $100 billion to replace factory workers with robots. That’s a declaration of war against the working class. He must explain to the American people what happens when millions lose their jobs. How will they survive?

Living here in the oft-ignored middle of the country, I'm thinking the airport/air travel meltdown is a reminder that maybe the richest country in human history shoulda invested in high-speed rail like 40 years ago when most advanced industrialized economies began doing that.

"It allows us to play super-loud without killing ourselves or frying those in the front, to get loud, clean sound at the back of a huge hall and supreme musical control…for me, it's like piloting a flying saucer. Or riding your own sound wave." - Phil Lesh 52 years ago today, the Grateful Dead conducted their “sound check” with the Wall of Sound at Cow Palace in Daly City. The system that would revolutionize the way music was heard came at quite the cost, powered by 480 speakers stacked about 30 feet high and operated by eight soundmen, costing roughly $200,000. The results however, stand the test of time. Listen to tracks from the show on ‘Dick’s Picks Volume 24’ here: gd.lnk.to/DPV24CP Photo by Mary Ann Mayer
