@owillis Dr. Fauci has been a favorite goto source of info for me in theoretical and applied virology, epidemiology, etc. for many years. The man is brilliant.
Hearing him speak over the Chief Ignoramus re timeframe, was a sweet moment!

I live in a state loaded with systemic corruption and so full and Municipal services and I'm staring off the end of the cliff feeling a cold https://t.co/EduBBd0zQc now I find that you can't even have a pet unattended.
It just gets better and better and better.

Segway: I was actually watching local news and heard the CDC spokeswoman say that it's not it's a when we could expect significant disruptions to daily life, more people working from home, business closures, and so on. Then the broadcast cut to quotes" pet thefts are on the rise,

of this year, (having educated/groomed myself for the position for several years w/ several Senators expressing interest), I now have no food or transportation -- having pumped all of my resources into my adult child caregiving duties for my parent.

@CaribeDevine I may have just heard the answer on 12.1. it said live coverage on 12.2 of the Trump rally if I'm not mistaken am I correct? I could expect 12.12 carry the democratic debate uninterrupted?

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

@CaribeDevine please answer: iscoverage of the democratic debate in Las Vegas going to be uninterrupted or will it be interrupted by periodic coverage of the concommitant rally, here in Phoenix by trump.??
Need to know, I'm a consultant-reasercher.

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

@CaribeDevine Caribe, is today's debate in Las Vegas going to be covered without interruption or will it be periodicly interrupted by rotating coverage of the Trump rally?

I am a political researcher-consultant and need to see uninterrupted coverage of L. Vegas.
Thx!!

Yup. In America, the hard truth is that you've got all the constitutional rights you can afford to pay a good attorney to protect (and maybe some extra ones).
Poor, no title, no notoriety? You walk the same streets as "Americans" but live in a different world. You've got bupkis.

This is because he thinks rich dudes can’t commit crimes but poor people are worthless, and anyone who hasn’t figured this out yet isn’t really paying attention.

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

@into_AI And conversely. Way back at the beginning, in "ordinary" software development, I found data structures more "interesting" than algorithms.
Then in AI classes, I gravitated to knowledge representation as a core interest. In cogsci/consciousness, ontology & representation is key.

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

@StenderWorld @WWIPhD @azelin Right! Nicely stated.

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

@Wanderingone3 @WWIPhD @IntelOperator Same reason the Gingrich era "contract on America (sic)" types wanted/want to pull funding for, e.g., NPR and PBS: imperfect as they are (the "truth is in the middle" fallacy), they have the similar "speak truth to power" culture. The gop now is inherently a syncophantic group.

@RWPUSA I've had a spotty record of that "ignore the barking dogs and just keep working on what's veridical and enlightening... to the enlightenable." Sometimes I am good at it, but other times I still get mad as hell (then regret the opportunity cost of that.)

I suspect I'm not alone.

#OTA #CutTheCord tv : in Phx now, on 10-3 (and maybe 61.x), was Combat, The Rat Patrol (now), and supposedly, 12 o'clock High (appropriately enough) at midnight. Fanciful pieces, but of nostalgic value. You can almost smell the warm bakalite and hot tube sockets.
They're on H&I

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

@john_sipher So, where are we passionate lib wst dems going to go if/when it gets as bad as it might? I think of the ww2 French underground, or Austria, but AI and electronic tracking multiply immeasurably the difficulty forming a covert "second civ." Rhetorically: have "formers" gamed it?

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

@john_sipher I just reread it (or perhaps it was my first read.) Beautifully clear, elegant economy of language, can't quit halfway...and it's 4:40 am here.
Thanks for the repost. It's a keeper.

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

@SlavicLady88 @thomasholleran You're right about women. Life for the GLOBAL democratic experiment is going to be hell-squared. And for the epistemology at rock bottom of sanity, reason, and non-chaos. Truth is the archimedian point of consciousness itself, of representational awareness, rational volition....

[TomK's Slipstream @TomsFineVideo]

And tell us again, Trumpists, that it's all coincidence, of in the eye of the beholder. Be he the unwitting "dumb knife" or consciously complicit. he's their finest asset in my half century memory.
Thanks, @SenatorCollins , for throwing future global history to the wolves. Really
