It's the Age Avalanche! (apologies to Ken Dychtwald).
Big changes are thundering down the time track. We will be the political gorilla. How do we use our muscle to the best effect? We have to be very careful and very smart.
We are the readers of Science Fiction, and now our world is sci-fi realized.

I Love It When We Demand the EPA
Does the "Protection" Part!
40% of ALL CORN grown in the USA is for ethanol!!
And since this corn "is not food," MUCH more pesticide and herbicide is allowed, which of course washes off into creeks, rivers and on into the Gulf of Mexico PUMPING UP THE DEAD ZONE.
Oxygen starvation is really tough to take, even if you are not already endangered.
It's a sad thing when we have to sue the Feds to make them do their job, but I am very impressed when organizations like the CBD have the means and the will to do it.
Olde Scooter has been riding this trike for a while:
Just search "ethanol" in this blog and find posts dating back to 2006.
At Least One of Trump's Catastrophic Attacks on Science Reversed OK, I admit it, I was becoming disconsolate (beyond consolation, a sucko state of mind) about the damage our current Prez and his gang are doing to science in America. Thousands of research projects abandoned and totally destroyed, thousands of our greatest scientific minds being discarded like used tissues, hundreds of universities being whiplashed into confusion, hundreds of thousands of the world's brightest students being barred from studying (and becoming entrepreneurs) in America.... on and on. Then one piece of news amped me up to a new level of teeth grinding (no, not the one about spending another $billion to shut down three more wind farms... gag! ). The "money saving" trumpery plan to wipe out our extraordinary ocean observatories, and letting them rust away in storage (that was the plan... barf! ). Then... Then... THEN... EVERYTHING IS SUDDENLY REVERSED!! Every ...
I Mean Super Huge! All of us oldies have that nagging hunch we are heading for Alzheimer'sville. It's one of the slowest ways to die -- and it tortures your family, drains your savings and is in general giant pain in the ass brain. SUDDENLY there is another ray of hope! And it's from a very credible source, nature , the prestigious Brit science journal. New hope for Alzheimer’s: lithium supplement reverses memory loss in mice OK, mice. But this is just one piece of the evidence -- the latest and a very important piece of research -- but there are numerous documented observational studies showing that lithium takers (bi-polar folks for instance) have much less AD. And get this: Lithium "slows brain aging in general." There's not much detail on this yet, but I'd say that's a good thing. Orotate!! Not just any lithium works, apparently only LITHIUM OROTATE, a reasonably priced supplement, does the job. This article is a little vague on the dosage...
(UPDATE AT END) A Cool Concept for a Complex Case Do you have a "project" going with AI(s)? I do, and it's working great. (I and AI Claude are editing my current sci-fi novel.) It's working so well I'm excited. I don't get excited all that often these days. Then BANG! it occurred to me that Claude and I were working as a real team , each supporting the other, pulling in the same direction -- all that team stuff. Seems like a really good way to use AI, become partners. SO I WROTE A NEW PROMPT: "My strong belief: I think a good human/AI "partnership" has max synergy potential. Comment please"... and fed it to ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, MetaAI and finally to Claude. ChatGPT : I think that's a defensible—and interesting—position. The potential synergy comes from complementarity rather than simple substitution : Human: goals, values, judgment about what matters, lived experience, intuition, and responsibility. AI: enormous workin...
