A new day. A new chance to succeed.

The morning reading talks about identity as an attachment.

"Whoever you are, live your life completely."

It talks about plumbers and saints. Being common or extraordinary.

On the surface, it make sense, but feels two-dimensional. Too dimensional.

Like who you are is what you do.

While I get it, most of us think in those terms. Ask "What do you do?" on meeting new people.

But I'm just trying to be the best me.

May you be your best you #today

Elon Musk is becoming a one-man rogue state – it’s time we reined him in


Elon #Musk is, more or less, a #RogueState. His intentions are self-serving and #nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity.

To put it into context, if dollars were metres, Musk’s money would be enough to take him to Mars and back, while a mere millionaire could only make a round trip from Paris to Amsterdam.

He has:e mustn’t make the mistake of playing nice with the world’s richest bully

That would require a functional government with a criminal justice system uncorrupted by billionaires.

Undesirable options are vigilantes or terrorists using violence to coerce political change - which is what the Republican fascists want as they continue to solidify their new government. The more violence the more public support for concentration camps, genocidal pogroms against the Republican Federal Government's enemy of the decade, etc.

WHAT IS MY LIFE ABOUT?
by Julie Price Pinkerton

This naked, lonely question
is still simmering in a crock pot
on the counter of a beach bungalow

where no one lives. But if you like,
I can show you some examples of what falls
out of my life when it’s whacked like a piñata:

My friend Emily reminisces about the cat
she used to have, and still misses.
“Clearly, Pippin and I were telepathic.”

In my collection of very bad Christmas decorations
there is a cloisonné manger scene with a baby Jesus
who has a snout like a piglet.

I have been criticized for always looking downward
when I walk. But in only five decades I have found enough
coins to sink a rowboat.

If I were a household object I would insist
on being a gooseneck lamp or the yarn mane
of a toy horse.

Most of my prayers are like drive-by shootings.
Please help me. Please save her. Thank you
for the parking spot.

—from Rattle #45, Fall 2014
Tribute to Poets of Faith
Julie Price Pinkerton: “I am a poet of faith. I’ve never written that sentence before. I was raised in a Baptist church on a gravel road on the outskirts of Brazil, Indiana. All of Brazil, Indiana, is kind of an outskirt. The church of my childhood was weird and toxic. Long story. At the center of it: Our pastor’s son (who became a pastor himself) was a pedophile. Nobody knew this until many years later, but something was off there, and I could tell. I hated going there. I stuck with my faith, though. Went to a really small Methodist college, the University of Evansville. A battering ram hit my faith in God when I was a freshman and our school’s entire basketball team was killed in a plane crash. Among the lost was the boy I had just started dating. But faith was still there, flailing. Post-college adult stuff. Marriage, divorce, the switching of churches, the switching of denominations (within Christianity), jobs, cities, marriage again, and hobbling along with my belief in God, which never leaves, but baffles me repeatedly like a train I can hear blaring somewhere in the woods but I cannot find the tracks. I’m 54 now. And Christ is still the only thing that makes sense to me. My atheist friends find this quaint. That’s OK.”

Watchdog Says Dr. Oz Push for 'Medicare Advantage for All' Is Disqualifying

"Oz's deep ties to the private healthcare industry make his nomination to lead our nation's current healthcare system totally egregious"

The watchdog group Public Citizen said Thursday that lawmakers should reject Trump's nomination of Medicare privatization advocate Mehmet Oz to lead a key health agency and instead move toward a publicly run single-payer system that would cover all Americans

Elon Musk will 100 Mio $ an "Reform UK" spenden. Für eine Partei unglaublich viel Geld. Elon Musk verdient diesen Betrag buchstäblich zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Frühstück. Unsere ach-so-wehrhaften Demokratien sind wehrlos gegen Putins Desinformation und den Einfluss der überreichen Oligarchen.

[l] Langsam werden mehr Details über den Magdeburger Weihnachtsmarktfahrer heraus.
Bei dem festgenommenen Tatverdächtigen soll es sich um einen 50-jährigen Mann namens Taleb A. handeln, der aus Saudi-Arabien stammt und 2006 nach Deutschland kam.

Da werden bei der AfD die Sektkorken knallen!

Oh warte, geht noch weiter.
Der Festgenommene ist als islamkritischer Aktivist bekannt, der sich selbst als Ex-Muslim bezeichnet.

Hmm, der Teil ist aber weniger schön für die AfD.
In sozialen Medien, auf islamfeindlichen Websiten und in Interviews erhob er zuletzt Vorwürfe gegen deutsche Behörden.

Oje, das klingt ja schon fast wie ein AfD-Sympathisant!?
Er hielt ihnen unter anderem vor, nicht genügend gegen Islamismus zu unternehmen und befürchtete eine Islamisierung Deutschlands.

Scheiße, das klingt ja wirklich wie ein AfD-Sympathisant!
Auf dem Onlinedienst X bekundete er seine Sympathie zur AfD und träumte von einem gemeinsamen Projekt mit der in weiten Teilen rechtsextremen Partei: einer Akademie für Ex-Muslime.

Dann sollte die Schlagzeile wohl lauten: AfD-Mann führt Terroranschlag gegen Weihnachtsmarkt durch.

Wieso du als Warnung vor Islamisierung ausgerechnet einen Weihnachtsmarkt zum Ziel deines Amoklaufs machen würdest, erschließt sich mir gerade nicht so wirklich, aber die AfD-Leute waren ja noch nie die Hellsten.
