The Trust Factor

20 Oct 2024 12:37

I voted today, but it was a different approach than I've ever taken.

I'm a big probability guy; I'm all about looking at the odds when making choices in life and politics. Now that the table is set with the players for the 2024 election and the future of this nation, possibly for the next decade, we're faced with a big decision.

There's Freedom, and There's Freedom

30 Jul 2024 12:21

We're going to hear both parties use the word freedom in this presidential campaign. But what do they mean when they say that word?

Feeling Or Fear?

21 Jul 2024 15:17

Let’s be clear. Joe Biden suspended his campaign; he didn’t resign or quit. There is a convention to be had from August 19–22. Kamala is the presumptive nominee for president, and she'll name a running mate. Joe will be heavily involved in all that, just as he has been heavily involved in our nation's trajectory for over half of his life. We Democrats like a little drama in our politics, so this is a small bump in the road on the way to victory in November.

Fourth Estate

12 Jul 2024 14:05

The Fourth Estate or Fourth Power refers to the press and news media’s advocacy and implicit ability to frame political issues and originated in Britain. In the United States, the phrase "fourth estate" is contrasted with the "fourth branch of government,” a term that originated because no direct equivalents of the estates of the realm exist in the United States. The "fourth estate" is used to emphasize the independence of the press, while the "fourth branch" suggests that the press is not independent of the government.

AI Is Coming To Get Us, Oh My!

17 Jan 2024 14:40

There is a legitimate reason to be concerned about AI. Like any new technology, there are shitheads out there who will misuse and abuse this new tool that will revolutionize modern life. The list of how they might try to do that is a long one, but my focus is on the 2024 election.

The Future of American Democracy

10 Nov 2024 13:36

We blew it. The game was on the line. We had the ball with eight seconds on the clock, and we, as a society, choked. Instead of seeing the whole court, some of us had tunnel vision. Rather than consider society an entity, a unit, or a family, we voted to serve our selfish interests, whether it was taxes, jobs, the price of gasoline, or some ideological mumbo jumbo.

We the people...

Seattle (and ?) Public Transportation

11 Jul 2024 13:15

Our little peeing contest in Seattle over public transportation is still slightly unsettled. 😁 Geez, Louise! This shouldn't be that confusing.  Berliners love their transit system. Apparently, Parisians, Swedes, and most of Asia do, too. Gee, I wonder what we're doing wrong. It's fascinating how Berliners adore their transit system. And it's not just them; Parisians, Swedes, and most of Asia seem to have cracked the code. I'm genuinely curious: What's the secret?

All Rise for AI!

I suspect we have all whined and sniveled about our judicial system. Maybe you feel like you got the short end of the stick in court. Or, you've been called for jury duty and hated having to perform that civil service. And then, there are judges, some good, some bad, but all of them adjudicating arguments, presumably without letting their personal opinions to influence their decisions — right!

A New Site Host

6 Jan 2024 13:33

I like to think I have a good grasp on technology, perhaps better than the average old guy, but I can tell you that over the years, I've had a number of websites hosted on several of the major hosts like GoDaddy and Webnode, and while I made them work, it wasn't as intuitive as I would like. I've never been sure whether it was a problem with the invisible techies on the other end, or my deteriorating old brain that was the problem.

AI - Artificial Intelligence

2 Jan 2024 13:14

A.I., it's all over the place, like a dog's breakfast. Experts, people none of us knew existed, are sitting in front of cameras expounding on A.I.'s benefits and dangers. So, what the hell? Why shouldn't I jump in and blab some bullshit?
