My Weekend post is a mini-book for you, about the AI-Panic of 2025, pointing out things that go unmentioned by ANY of the geniuses who are right now creating these new entities. Genius fools who have no idea at all about the Big Picture. https://t.co/hti6xpP9uD

JPL techies keep finding ingenious ways to keep alive the two Voyager probes, after 48 years. An impressive example of multi-generational human competence and a reminder that the scions of chippers-of-flint-arrowheads remain admirable and much-needed. https://t.co/fspyHIbZIc

One of Colbert's best monologues EVER. https://t.co/S6xfmkgUcE

Time for master-servant instructions. "Marco Rubio, told reporters: "We’ll have a meeting between President Trump and President Putin. So the US and Russian leaders engage in frank, direct conversation”. As usual, without any US witnesses. Yes massa. https://t.co/vtzKmWrB8q

Weekend posting is about The Fermi Paradox and why we don't see signs of alien civilizations. And yeah, I mean no plausible signs. Though I start with an announcement and I end with a challenge. https://t.co/tJNjF2cEQf

No explanation for today's "two" other than we're in a simulation and someone is messing with me. And hence, continuing to play feels like cheating. But then, we are ALL in a ridiculous scenario where a syphalitic 140 year old Donald Trump dropped quarters into a holodeck. https://t.co/R4gT9sp7Wv

So much of this was predicted in Gregory Benford's Galactic Center Series! https://t.co/BYFJjt76Ly

For 80 years the Marshallian tradition promoted real scholar-warrior leaders. The most mature, constitutionally-loyal outcome-oriented humans I've met. THE vital clade blocking Project 2025/KGB monsters is not the DemParty. It's the US Military Officer Corps. https://t.co/4BmRXT5L8n

Questions: 1-Offer stats on how Leavenworth & Lewiston etc are doing? Is there even a problem? 2-Where's your damn wall? Making it out of tariffs instead of spikes? 3-Honestly, it's a California thing, right? 4-Um, the Wall? https://t.co/RLSxr5aRUF

Not just the economy, but every aspect of human creativity in arts and sciences... and the best election laws in the nation. And at absolutely every level - except cost of living and crowding - utterly opposite to every meme that twits have yammered about California all my life. https://t.co/k2bgSsa4hW

Putting a lying smiley-face on Trump's 25% cut in the NASA budget. FAR MORE than 25%, when you take into account that Artemis and manned Mars are also ways to sabotage US space endeavors that might actually do good things. Plus many other science sabotages ... https://t.co/LgVhCTosnY

My new post explores modern ignorance about vital things our parents and grandparents of the WWII generation - even poor workers - understood about 6000 years of human history. And scenarios of Marx. Whose revival seems the top goal of today's Lords. https://t.co/dpBk1m3ZfL

My WIRED article breaks free of the three standard 'AI-formats' that can only lead to disaster, suggesting instead a 4th. That AI entities can only be held accountable if they have individuality... even 'soul'... https://t.co/uHGdwGLZSE

Putin just renamed the Volgograd Airport as "Stalingrad" and plans to do it with the whole city. Meanwhile "we fell in love" Kim Jong Un sends help to BOTH Putin and Trump. Oh, you commies.

Today only, the entire Uplift Storm Trilogy (e-book) is just $2.99 on B&N, Kobo and other sites. The greatest adventure spanning many galaxies and levels of reality. Plus dolphins(!) and alien kids who read (and out-do) Huckleberry Finn! https://t.co/1XRJyVyNKJ

My new posting serves insights re AI from various sources, including many that you are unlikely to get elsewhere! Meanwhile, the ongoing KGB takeover of the USA daily obsolesces anything I start blogging about it, so I'll just be doing that on soc media. https://t.co/nwKknJ98ka
