You know, when I lived in the other place, the one that some people decry as socialism or whatever, I could confirm my pay as you go taxes for the year in a few clicks on a free website. Anyway, many hours with TurboTax later, I’ve filed my 2025 return. Please clap.
I have never encountered more bizarre bureaucracy and egregious form filling than in these United States.
I cannot tell you what to do, watching the US president and his horrific regime trying to plunge the world into flame and darkness. I can’t tell you because I have no idea either.
All I can tell you is this:
You have to know, with total and completely clarity, that nobody is coming to save us.
And knowing that, you will feel lost — but strangely clear.
And suddenly the work will be on you.
And you will do it, because that is •just what you do•, because you •know• that nobody else is coming.
And you will still have no idea what to do, even as you are already doing it.

The Path of Artemis II
Video Credit: NASA, GSFC, Artemis II, SVS
Explanation: Why doesn't Artemis II land on the Moon? The main reason is that Artemis II is primarily a test mission designed to make a future Artemis missions -- which will land humans on the Moon -- better prepared. Similarly, NASA's Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 went right near the Moon as tests before Apollo 11 -- which landed. As the trajectory in the featured animated video shows, Artemis II will loop around both the Earth and the Moon before returning to the Earth about 10 days after launch. The Artemis II mission will take humans outside the Earth's magnetosphere for the first time since the Apollo missions 50 years ago. In the video, particles from the solar wind are shown as streaks, while the Earth's reacting magnetosphere is shown in flickering green. The Earth's magnetosphere is important in deflecting powerful particles arriving from the Sun as well as creating picturesque auroras visible from the Earth's surface.
Doctor John Gartner,
the co-founder of “Duty To Warn”
noted Trump went to war on “impulse.”
He continued, Trump “didn’t bring along any allies, he didn’t prevent any evidence, he didn’t prepare the American people. He didn’t do anything.”
And the reason—per Dr. Gartner—is more alarming than you think.
It’s not just because Trump views himself as a king who doesn’t need to get his “subjects” (you and I) on board.
Rather, as Dr. Gartner opined, “He’s not thinking it through because he’s not capable of actually processing what’s even happening.”
He added, Trump “just had an angry impulse” –perhaps to distract from the Epstein files—so he started this horrific war.
From a psychological point of view, Gartner described Trump as “a raging id with no frontal lobes.”
(In other words, Trump is ruled only by his whims at that moment with no regard for the consequences.)
Then came perhaps Dr. Gartner’s most frightening warning about Trump.
He noted that that Trump is increasingly becoming
a “sadistic animal” who is
“becoming more and more cruel and animal-like as his frontal lobes deteriorate.”
Frontal lobe deterioration is often seen n people with dementia and is manifested by loss of impulse control, impaired judgment, easy to be distracted, loss of empathy and more that we all see with Trump.

When legislators give companies an excuse to write untouchable code, it’s a disaster for everyone. This time, 3D printers are in the crosshairs across a growing number of states. Even if you’ve never used one, you’ve benefited from the open commons these devices have created—which is now under threat. We need to roundly reject these onerous restraints on creation.
