> There is no Tomorrow [A question from a young mind] They repeatedly say, "Tomorrow, tomorrow." I ask them, "When does it come?" And they reply, "When it dawns, tomorrow comes." I search for the new day myself. When I awake and look around I find no tomorrow. Rather I find the today that has already come. My folks! There is no tomorrow.
I'm going to put this hear, because I don't have a notebook nearby.
Libertarianism is not about social liberty. There's a reason why so many "libertarians" eventually join the Republican Party.
They want the freedom to walk all over other people, without those people having the right to say "no". That's not liberty, that's entitlement. They want to be entitled to do whatever they like to whoever they choose.
This is why I would like to dump words like left, right, conservative, and liberal. We only have people who are for human and environmental rights, and those who are for privilege. Maybe some day we will have people who have different approaches to human and environmental rights who will give themselves names, but right now--this is what we have.

I'm chasing sub 3 hours #Marathon within 1-2 years time. To my estimations I have about a 60% chance of achieving this goal.
Why am I doing it? The simple answer is "challenge". I like to challenge myself, I enjoy working hard towards a goal no matter how far reaching it is. But the real reason is that, I found peace in running, in its solitary, it's my way of meditation.
If you are into #running, let's connect, I love to hear your stories and learn from others mistakes 😁 and achievements.
Feds withdraw funding notice just before hearing
"Huang said the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had withdrawn the notice of funding opportunity, or NOFO, for the Continuum of Care program less than 90 minutes before a court hearing on both suits before District Court judge Mary S. McElroy in Rhode Island Monday. Cambridge city solicitor Megan Bayer told councillors that the judge “was very displeased with this last-minute change from the federal government, and specifically commented on how she worked all weekend to prepare for this hearing, and knows that plaintiff’s attorneys worked many hours, and she does not appreciate these shenanigans from the federal government.”

I find myself wandering the once familiar streets of Nightfall, following the intermittent buzzing of a flickering neon bulb toward what used to be a bustling part of town. After much detouring, dead ends and stepping over debris, I finally reached our ol' kiosk. The dusty shelves laid bare save for a few issues from Rek, Felix and myself.
I wonder where all the people that used to write for this corner have gone, if there isn't a shinier corner with avider readers that called them away, or if maybe writing has done its good work onto them so they didn't feel the need to anymore. Well, I'll hope so, it is now the fifth year since I began writing these bi-monthly pamphlets. After this, there will be one more left to pen this year.
