How do people cope with how evil everyone is? Like everyday for the last 4 years has been another level of psychological damage to my faith in mankind. Things get worse and worse, people openly, flagrantly lie and are rewarded. Narrative as reality, a postmodern hell

This breaks my heart and brought tears. Half the country, so many good and decent Americans, being wrongly called the “greatest enemy,” by a man we elected into the most powerful office in the world. Please, please do your jobs and impeach him before he destroys us all.

Trump posts that after the “death of Iran,” Americans’ “greatest enemy” is now the “Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party.” This kind of rhetoric is beyond irresponsible and dangerous. It is anti-American.

When Charlie Kirk died, Trump and his sycophants demanded punishment for anybody who spoke ill of him. JD Vance told people to report folks to their employers. Federal agencies threatened discipline for employees who criticized Kirk by speaking, truthfully about his bigotry . Trump even escalated the climate of intimidation by threatening  that networks that criticized him too harshly could lose their licenses.  Fast forward to Robert Mueller’s death, Trump said “Good I’m glad he’s dead.” That tells you everything you need to know. They don’t want decency. They want obedience. They don’t oppose cruelty. They reserve cruelty for their enemies and demand sympathy for their friends. That is not principle. That’s hypocrisy. It’s despicable, shameless, vile, hypocritical, morally bankrupt, callous, authoritarian, inhumane, and utterly devoid of any ethical consistency. Talbert Swan

In the mid-19th century, as poverty and homelessness overwhelmed America’s bustling cities, a bold yet controversial experiment began. Between 1854 and 1929, over 200,000 children were uprooted from overcrowded urban centers and sent on trains across the United States to find new families and opportunities.  This ambitious social movement, known as the Orphan Train Movement, was meant to offer hope and a second chance for many, yet it revealed the complexities of relocation, adoption, and societal expectations. By the mid-1800s, the streets of cities like New York and Boston teemed with orphaned and homeless children. These children, often referred to as “street Arabs,” survived through begging, selling small goods, or engaging in petty crimes.  With growing immigrant populations, the number of destitute children soared, leaving local authorities unable to cope. It was Charles Loring Brace, a visionary minister from Connecticut, who first saw a solution to this growing crisis. In 1853, he founded the Children’s Aid Society with a mission to rescue these children from the harsh realities of urban life.  Rather than placing them in overcrowded, grim orphanages Brace proposed an innovative idea: send the children westward to rural families who could offer them homes and employment.  “The best of all asylums for the outcast child is the farmer’s home,” Brace famously said. His idea laid the foundation for the largest child relocation program in American history. For many children, the journey on the orphan trains was both thrilling and frightening. Most had no idea where they were going or what awaited them at the end of the line.  Some were given new clothes, a cardboard suitcase, and a name tag before being placed in the care of chaperones who accompanied them on their westward journey. Elliot Bobo was just eight years old when he boarded an orphan train. His mother had died when he was two, and his father struggled with alcoholism. As Elliot remembered, “Far as I know, my father hit the bottle pretty heavy, and they took us away from him.” The Children’s Aid Society gave him a small suitcase, which he still keeps to this day. “I had all my possessions in there, which wasn’t much. No shoes, just a change of clothes,” he recalled. Handbills advertised “cargoes of needy children,” and as trains pulled into towns, the children were paraded before potential adoptive parents at local town halls or churches.  Prospective parents would inspect the children, much like they would livestock, deciding which ones were best suited for their homes and farms.  Some families welcomed the children with open arms, but others saw them as free labor. Elliot remembers the unsettling experience clearly. A farmer approached him, feeling his muscles, and said, “Oh, you’d make a good hand on the farm.”  But Elliot responded, “You smell bad. You haven’t had a bath, probably, in a year.” When the farmer tried to take him, Elliot bit and kicked him.  Labeled as uncontrollable, he sat alone in tears, but he eventually found a home where he was loved and cared for. The Orphan Train Movement was often hailed as a progressive solution to child homelessness, but it brought both successes and challenges.  On one hand, thousands of children found loving homes and opportunities they would have never had in the overcrowded, dangerous streets of the cities.  Success stories, like those of Andrew Burke and John Brady—two former orphan train riders who became governors of North Dakota and Alaska—often highlight the program’s achievements. However, not all children were so fortunate. Some were treated more like servants than family members, with abuse and neglect not uncommon.  As one orphan train rider, Hazelle Latimer, recounted, she was once examined “like a horse,” and taken in by a farmer who saw her more as a workhorse than a daughter. By the early 1900s, changing views on child welfare and labor brought the orphan train era to a close.

Whether it's John McCain or Robert Mueller, the greater someone's service to America the more vile a response their deaths engender from Donald Trump. Their lives of service and sacrifice only serve as a reminder to everyone of Bone Spur Donnie's selfishness and cowardice.

I never thought I was raised by low income parents during a time when almost everyone treated each other with respect. We didn't eat a lot of fast food because it was considered a treat, not a food group. We drank Kool-Aid made from water that came from our kitchen sink with real sugar. We ate bologna sandwiches, or even tuna (which was in a can not a pouch), PB&J & , hot dogs, but mostly homemade meals consisting of mainly dough, meat, potatoes, vegetable, bread & butter, and homemade dessert. We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped neighbors with chores to be able to earn our own money. We went outside a lot to play games, ride bikes, red rover, dodge ball, run with siblings, and friends & played hide and seek. We drank tap water from the water hose outside... bottled water was unheard of. If we had a coke -it was in a glass bottle ... and we took the empties back to the store for a 5 cent deposit. We watched TV shows like Bonanza, Leave It To Beaver, Gilligan's Island, Happy Days, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, Little House On The Prairie, and I Love Lucy. After school, we came home, and did homework, and chores before going outside or having friends over. We would ride our bikes for hours. We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with, and what time we'd be back. You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them, and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing. What they said was LAW, and you did not question it, and you had better know it!!! When the sun was starting to set you had better be home. In school we said the Pledge of Allegiance, we stood for the National Anthem, and listened to our teachers, also had prayer each morning. We watched what we said around our elders because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up we would get our behinds whipped, it wasn't called abuse, it was called discipline! We held doors, carried groceries, and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked. You didn't hear curse words on the radio in songs or TV, and if you cursed and got caught you had a bar of soap stuck in your mouth, and had to stand in the corner. “Please, Thank you, yes please no thank you yes ma'am no ma'am yes sir, and no sir were part of our daily vocabulary! Re-post if you're thankful for your childhood, and will never forget where you came from & the time you came from! ❤

Sometimes I wonder if our Congress is smart enough to realize that they have the power to impeach and remove this horrid man, but then I realize they don’t think he’s awful at all. They don’t mind the bullying, the insults, the lack of character, the racism. They hide behind it.
Amy McGrath@AmyMcGrathKY

Where is Congress? It’s absolutely insane that one reckless man can escalate this affecting all of us and other nations in the region without Congress doing anything at all.

Never underestimate the difference a single person can make. Sometimes it’s a genius with a good heart and fun spirit like @elonmusk, but sometimes it’s just someone motivated by love.

For decades, Versova Beach in Mumbai, India, was not a beach in any traditional sense. It was a dumping ground. Piled shin-high in millions of kilograms of plastic waste, glass, and sewage, the coastline was legally considered a landfill. But in October 2015, one man, a young lawyer named Afroz Shah, decided he could no longer stand to see his childhood beach buried under garbage. What began as a simple, solitary act of picking up trash eventually sparked the world’s largest beach cleanup initiative. Week after week, for over 126 weeks, Afroz Shah was joined by an ever-growing army of volunteers. From local fisherfolk and Bollywood celebrities to school children and senior citizens, the community reclaimed their coast. They removed over 13 million kilograms of waste from the shoreline. In 2018, the ultimate payoff arrived. For the first time in over twenty years, the endangered Olive Ridley sea turtles returned to Versova Beach to nest. It was a historic moment, confirming that their eco-system had successfully regenerated. Today, Afroz Shah is a recipient of the United Nations' highest environmental accolade, the "Champion of the Earth." The Versova Beach project continues to inspire similar cleanup movements globally, proving that through consistent, passionate action, we can "refuse, reduce, reuse, and recycle"—and most importantly, restore our planet.

Maybe someday I’ll have a chip in my brain so I can understand all of this completely, because I don’t have that capability now, but I am smart enough to know this will eliminate poverty and human suffering in my lifetime—IFF we don’t blow ourselves up with World War III first.

Everyone is covering Terafab as a chip factory. It is not a chip factory. Last night in Austin, Elon unveiled a facility that makes masks, fabricates chips, and tests them inside a single building with a nine-month recursive improvement cadence. No such loop exists anywhere else on Earth. Then he told you 80% of the output goes to space. Then he showed you a 100-kilowatt AI satellite with solar panels and radiators, scaling to megawatt range. Then he said Optimus plus photovoltaics will be the first von Neumann probe, a machine capable of replicating itself from raw materials found in space. Nobody connected the sequence. Terafab produces 1 terawatt per year of compute. The entire United States consumes 0.5 terawatts of electricity. Musk is building a single factory whose output in AI silicon exceeds twice the power consumption of the country it sits in. And he is sending 80% of it off-planet because Earth literally cannot power what he is building. Follow the mechanism. Terafab seeds the chips. Starship launches Optimus robots and solar arrays at 100 million tons per year. The robots mine lunar and asteroid regolith for silicon, iron, and nickel. They 3D-print more robots. They fabricate more solar panels. They assemble more AI satellites. Each satellite runs hotter-burning D3 chips designed specifically for vacuum, where free radiative cooling eliminates the thermal constraints that strangle every terrestrial data center on the planet. The nodes replicate. The replication is exponential. This is a Dyson Swarm bootstrap hidden inside a semiconductor announcement. The math is public. The Sun outputs 3.828 times 10 to the 26th watts. A 2022 paper in Physica Scripta calculated that 5.5 billion satellites at 290 kilograms each, robotically manufactured from Mars resources, capture enough solar energy to meet all of Earth’s power needs within 50 years. A 2025 paper in Solar Energy Materials calculated a partial swarm capturing 4% of solar output yields 15.6 yottawatts, roughly a billion times current human civilization’s total energy budget. Musk just announced the factory that builds the chips that go inside the satellites that replicate themselves forever. 92% of advanced logic chips are fabricated in Taiwan. One factory in Austin does not fix that. But one self-replicating system seeded by that factory, launched by the only company with reusable heavy-lift rockets, assembled by the only humanoid robot in mass production, and powered by the only star within reach, does not fix a supply chain. It obsoletes the concept of supply chains entirely. The market priced this as a $20 billion capex story about semiconductor independence. The actual announcement was the engineering blueprint for Kardashev Type II. Humanity sits at 0.73 on the Kardashev scale. 18 terawatts. The distance between here and harnessing a star is not a technology gap. It is a recursion gap. And recursion is exactly what a single building in Austin that makes its own masks, builds its own chips, tests its own chips, and launches the output into orbit on its own rockets was designed to close. Every civilization that makes it past this point never looks back.
