Opposition candidate reacts to Trump, Biden debate

8/28/2020

0 Comments

 
Howie Hawkins reacts to Donald Trump and Joe Biden after the RNC and DNC, respectively. Hawkins is the Green Party nominee for president, and I endorsed him on Facebook in the spring.

To get in touch with the campaign, visit howiehawkins.us. The Green Party needs 5 percent of the national vote for official party recognition.

Or check out Jo Jorgensen, presidential nominee for the Libertarian Party. Five percent holds true for that party, too.

F*ck a two-party system.

Working Conditions, II

8/25/2020

So Gallup's research indicates that employee engagement responds to workplace culture over a societal crisis (i.e. the pandemic)? What boost to well-being, then, can a desirable workplace be for the newly unemployed?​

Ecosia over Google

Congrats, Ecosia! I love your movement. 

The milestone announcement illustrates your work behind the tree-planting counter on the homepage. I've used DuckDuckGo because of its privacy commitment. Until now, however, I was unaware that it's part of Ecosia's as well. I also welcome news of the icon feature for designated organizations in search engine results.​

Toni Morrison

8/13/2020

I love the gaggle of ducks, the chorus of sparrow nestlings, the call of gulls before dawn -- and I ABSOLUTELY love the song of the black-capped chickadee. I was a one-time member of the Audubon Society to get into bird watching but, like Morrison, it wasn't a formal hobby. Guzmán preserves the memory of Morrison's intimacy of birds in life (and in literature) while sharing some of her own.​

Is new U.S. Space Force another reason to ratify Outer Space Treaty?

8/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Now it makes sense why NASA emphasized the peaceful intent of the Artemis program (via the Artemis Accords). Williston illustrates how humans and other Earthlings are at... strategic disadvantage for a belligerent attack from beyond low earth orbit.

"Somehow this possibility... seems not to matter much to space expansionists, even though it's standard fare in the well of sci-fi from which many of them have drunk...."

I can only imagine the capacity and capability of the nascent U.S. Space Force amid the international race for space exploration by new parties [(i.e. China and India)]; or its role in Williston's recommendation for an updated Outer Space Treaty. ​
