  • “Cargo sailboats: A sea change for shipping? | DW Documentary”   https://youtu.be/ifEJnQLaMvk   It is good to see this progressing - especially with an awareness of the eventual need to use containers in order to be competitive   

 

On neurodivergenceoand associatedomatters:    

 

On society, governance, humanorights, etc (noting the childish thinking of M_G_):     

 

My recent article(s) onoSubstack:   

 

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlightopossible flaws / issues youoshouldoconsider: 

  • there mayobe flawedologicaloarguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ freeoonline course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
  • I could be wrong - so keep your thinkingocaps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generallyoneed to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgenderingois an act of activeotransphobia/transmisiaothat puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptoroto prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).

Post No. 3,565 - In the USA: and now the governing ... including managing vetoes ...

PS - news articles on the US election results:   “A ‘generational defeat’: The biggest midterm upsets and Donald Trump’s reaction”   https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/midterm-upsets-trump-reaction/hucp8vric   “Democratic victories across a number of states stood out as major upsets in historic midterm elections”   AND ALSO   “Donald Trump’s Republicans suffer landslide defeat – what this means for the world”   https://theconversation.com/donald-trumps-republicans-suffer-landslide-defeat-what-this-means-for-the-world-295769   AND ALSO   “Trump congratulates Democrats on midterms win, says Iran war played role”   https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20261104-trump-congratulates-democrats-on-midterms-win-says-iran-war-played-role   “US President Donald Trump said rival Democrats had done "a good job" Tuesday after they gained control of Congress in the midterm elections. While Trump acknowledged that the Iran war may have played a part in the defeat of his Republican Party, he did not take personal responsibility for the result that will upend the last two years of his presidency”   AND ALSO   “Trump Exposes America's Deadly Cycle: Will Democrats Break It or Repeat History's Worst Mistakes?”   Thom Hartmann   https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-exposes-americas-deadly-cycle-748   “Every few generations, concentrated wealth threatens to tear America apart. Now, 45 years after Reagan’s revolution, Democrats face their biggest test since FDR ...”   AND ALSO   “They're Freaking Out Now! Cause Trump Doesn't Protect Losers, and They Did the Fascism Out Loud!”   Knitting Cult Lady   https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wEzzPPR2dC8   AND ALSO   “Can Trump block it? Here's how a presidential veto works”   https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/donald-trump-veto-power-how-it-works/w77n58clr   “While the Democrats have secured a majority in Congress, Donald Trump remains defiant they won't get everything they want”    “The media has failed in this moment. It’s about time they apologized to us”   The Civic Sage   https://youtu.be/weqZebZ4ZRU   AND ALSO   “The whole world feels safer today”   Knitting Cult Lady   https://youtube.com/shorts/qMqT0vmYZsM   AND ALSO   “Will Democrats winning Congress fix the US economy and its politics?”   Richard J Murphy   https://youtu.be/2eYR0MLoXKU   AND ALSO   “Winning an Election Isn’t Enough”   LegalEagle   https://youtu.be/6LbmvFgQ-8g   AND ALSO   “Trump calls midterms ‘crooked’, demands Alaska votes go to Republican candidate”   https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20261106-trump-calls-midterms-crooked-demands-alaska-votes-go-to-republican-candidate   “Despite having previously accepted the US midterm election results, President Donald Trump told reporters on Thursday the elections were "crooked", and he demanded the remaining votes for Alaska go to its incumbent Republican senator”   At least being back to typical bombastic blather suggests he may not be planning surprises such as a major attack on Iran   

At the risk of being a little premature, the trends are looking good for the US Democrats in this year’s midterm elections - and some evil people are out, and there are some excellent inclusive results, but the Democrats have to now perform a LOT better than their insipid efforts of recent years. 

So ... as part of the ongoing work of this blog, now is the time to send all BPM progressive politicians in the USA BPM courage, BPM determination, BPM persistence, and BPM perspective to see the essential importance of not wobbling back in to weak, polite, tropes.
