David Swanson's lopsided screed today about ICJ Report on Israel-Gaza The ruling against Israel from the ICJ, though at least stopping short of calling for unilateral surrender by Israel, is both unjust and outrageous. The only thing worse is so-called progressive support for it.

My chat with Elon Musk AI on FTL Space Travel The immense power of AI is being wasted. Yes, it can, and has, been used to create astounding pictures, even videos. It has been used to generate stories, articles, and text answers to any questions that humans ask one another. But it's this last part that needs exploring, or exploding, perhaps. Here, a FTL spaceship is discussed with Elon Musk AI. Did we succeed?

It's time to retire the city and state retirement funds 95%-100% of city and state pension funds will never go to pensioners; they are simply rolled over every year. Why are centi-billion dollar pension funds that make 0%-5% net after fees and excluding contributions being kept at all?

Cannabis Dreams going up in Smoke The following are my personal observations over the course of a year or two as cannabis has been gradually legalized, from small usage to quasi-legal pot shops to the first legal weed shop last December. There are many, many articles, studies and continual followup on what's happening both in New York City and nationwide, but these are my observations.

Boiling thoughts on the Endless Objections to Legitimate Elections At what point do Election Deniers get their comeuppance in the media, in the courts, and especially in public opinion? Some of the tribe of lawyers are already getting sanctioned, and some commentators say MAGA = Make Attorneys Get Attorneys. Every single person who challenges the results of the 2020 election should read at LEAST the Wikipedia summary of the Bush V. Gore election: Bush v. Gore - Wikipedia

Speak Up For Assange celebrates its 3rd Anniversary by Speaking Up for Assange Julian Assange continues to languish in torture-like conditions in Britain's notorious Belmarsh prison, pending appeals and despite having long past his sentence for trying to escape deportation to Sweden for charges that have long since been dropped. The alternative of extraditing him to America to face espionage charges is probably worse.
