Whilst this talk is from 6 years ago and the original was shared on TED in 2003, this is so relevant even now. This guy changed how I viewed the world, so many years ago and what he shares here is so pertinent even today. For those who have the "eyes & ears" to see and hear. Some hope.

This new ad from the Kamala Harris campaign is incredible.

So ... Sir #TrumpVirus is going to make women happy and hopeful like never before?!
His Kamikaze moves work out? He disappears ('eaten by cats') over the Bermuda Triangle? He melts like the Wicked Witch w/water?
Oh sure, he loves women, like his dear friend Hannibal Lecter does... loves to have them for dinner. Or trophies. SMH...
And oh does he love women journalists when they speak #truth ! So respectful! Such a fine gentleman, all the best words...
OK, Sir... You do you, and as the stench subsides, maybe women (and men, boys/girls, cats, dogs, & whales) will feel #hope and see that the Emperors' #cognitive clothes are in complete tatters. I'd say the same of his morals, but they do not exist.
Finally... Maddow's new documentary "From Russia with Lev..." Wow. More #reality - "with receipts".
Like Michael Cohen, Lev now is dedicated to making amends and sharing his first-hand knowledge of the #cult of #DonOld...
Just awaiting the #joy - #karma - #justice - #accountability - as the Trump-trauma finally subsides, and the aftershocks.
You can say what you like about humanity, but at least it has created a possibility of its own complete extinction. that honors it and gives it hope!

"Boston Strong!" And sane too, it seems, booing JD Vance at a Firefighters' Union (IAFF) Speech
Vance was brutally burned during a campaign stop, ironically at a firefighters’ union conference.
Like his hero, Sir #TrumpVirus, this fellow shape-shifting creature once again revealed his lack of soul, and abundance of #weird.
Lowlights included the usual stilted #GQP #disinformation, citing statistics leaving out Boston, and awkwardness speaking 'human'.
The article notes both the loud booing, his feeble efforts to seduce the crowd, and his inability to think/talk/live off-script.
For me a bit of context & "contrast/compare": I caught highlights of the same audience being addressed the day before by Tim Walz - a lot of love & respect there for him, and he hit all the right notes on labor and service, and even noted the firefighting tradition in Kamala Harris' family. I'd say Walz hit a near-perfect 10 (as he does) while the #VanceVirus stench the next day was foul & fetid.

Nancy Sinatra gave consent for use of her songs - including some billboards.
And many are lining up to end the #TrumpVirus and usher in some #joy. We do have #hope, creeping in the suffocated fresh air...
Some days agoSebastian's mother put the 6 months old boy in my hands... I tell you, to have such young and radiating human at your breast is one of the most wonderful things... gives you #hope and strength !!!
His father Dominik is a gifted mechanic... lovely, beautiful and great dude, a true Herzensmench, a man of heart yay! He used to repair my 24 year old Škoda

Dystopian #GQP nihilism vs #hope - #joy - #democracy
"Woke" (sentient) beings can clearly see the Emperor's "new", old worn out clothes. Even some #cult members.
OTOH, the only actual 'party' we have is shining a light on possibility, competence & public #service
So yeah, we can go with the dour, demonic, delusional #cult of #GQP / #TrumpVirus and accept a feeble-brained "dictator on Day 1" -- or we can smile at all the #truth being spoken, and imagine... inhale/exhale, breathe with HOPE for a sane(r) society soon.
Wowser! I caught several of the speeches - and the reference to "resume" vs. "rap sheet" made me perk up and smile.
But there were so many other bits if #TrumpVIrus #Truth on display, some of the highlights here.
But Sir #DonOld #StableGenius ... he only deals in lowlights, and low-lives.
(Point about his family 'business' of theft and housing discrimination well taken). Even this week, he's now stolen Beyonce's song!
And his #cult of #GQP equal-crazies and reality-deniers, continue to just lap it up, and regurgitate the delusions & #disinformation.
Nice summary here. Truly was hoping he'd watch a bit as he was busy "Truthing" stream-of-whatever-it-is (not consciousness!) in his normal #WordSalad spew, framing the opposite of what was said, & messaging without any 'processing' (thinking) along the way.
#Smile We have some #hope again, #sanity may return, along with understanding of, and appreciation for #democracy.
Finally, #media notices and reports #fact, amid smiles & #joy at the prospect of ending #TrumpVirus -- and ushering in a new era of mindful & just #democracy, with a return to #decency and #respect for #law, and all people...
Trump's carny act isn't working anymore
His Folgers Coffee™ Conference showed a candidate in decline.
What a difference 3 weeks makes!
Both for regular viewers who count on our late-night debriefing-with-laughs, & for him after 3 weeks, it's a very different landscape.
And for anyone deep into summer beaches or mountain trails or whatever... having dropped out for the past month or so. Hello!
Tonight: Olympics, a change of horses for Dems, JD couch vs. coach, & Trump behaving "like a rabid animal locked in a psych ward."

Oh look, Keith Olbermann - I've not seen much of in a while.
Here he is, late at night (in his PJ's?)
WIth a bit of #truth about what (at least some) polls are showing.

Different...
I followed links to links and came up with 3 hour live/zoom of
There's supposedly a fun song in there somewhere, but I confess, I skimmed this. Here's a prime slice (about 2 hours in) if it cues.
It starts just as Eric Swalwell goes SNL for a skit where he plays ~ 'a low budget. Colin Jost' Lots here to skim, enjoy, rewind, unpack...
The more I read about technological development, new research and increasing respect for diverse and indigenous culture the more I feel like I'm living in humanity's chase scene or fight scene and this is the most exciting time to shine. It's our evolutionary opportunity to realise our emergence into the Mature Anthropocene and show the rest of the galaxy what we can do.
