A Rubáiyát of Political Deficience (poem)
Wist scald a wrecker’s horde of fights and nays
Where Destiny miffs Zen for peaches play
Politics and losses thick, per wars dap slay
And one by one bodies back in history lay; their fall no matter of yes's and nos,
Yek right or left to wins the sinner goes;
And he or she that flung bung down on the range
His revenue streams flow- She knows-He knows!
The moving finger writes, and lacking good wits
Moves on: nor all thy tax cuts or fissile fuels
Shall recover solvency, nor cancel public debt half a bit
Nor all thy Lears slow heat increase of ocean or the inverted bowling sky
War blunders galling hoops plants live and die
Lift not thy hands to destiny for wealth
It is free to roll on while superfluous nature dies.
Senate Votes for More Sanctions to Upgrade War with Russia in Ukraine
The U.S. Senate predictably passed another sanctions bill showing the will to follow the Democrat lead in reckless, needless and unjust war on Russia to keep the borderlands of Ukraine for the west. The Senate shows the lack of understanding and knowledge of history common in lives of the unread.
Driving a global economic split furthering politics while continuing development of drone, robotic and biological war research is simply stupid. The war would probably stop in three months if sanctions on Russia ended.

The Senate seems not to require logic of itself in regard to international conflict and instead to pursue profits and inertia directions of the past that worked for more than a half century. The modern senate is replete with godless atheists and those expressing religious faith only disingenuously. If they would instead have minds not given over entirely to short term profits for-themselves they would better be able to find ways of peace that work rather than regarding thinking outside of their only boxes dismissively.
The Senate seems to have lost touch with reality regarding an urgence to normalize relations with Russia and pursue good rather than bad business. President Reagan's idea about the Cold War initially was "We win, they lose." That attitude cannot serve the interests of anyone in regard to sharing the land east of the Dnepro with Russia. President Reagan eventually said; ""We see a new post-war strategy involving public candor, diplomatic engagement, and the rejection of the inevitability of war or totalitarian rule... The barriers of the post-war era may be coming down." (Guildhall Speech in London, June 1988, reflecting on the turning point of the Cold War).
The Senate should not believe that Russia continues to be totalitarian rather than having a record of pursuing and establishing democracy. Neither should it believe the Ukraine was an independent nation before the end of the Cold War- it was not.

Scientists Trained an AI to Design 17,000 Viruses
Because biologists are among the most common scientists and AIs like large language models can be trained to design viruses the potential for making bioweapon designer viruses is a clear and present danger. Society ho hums that sort of thing these days. Funding the Ukraine war and protecting oil have higher priorities to most politicians. Global heating and the decline in health of the ecosphere are commonly ignored.
17,000 viruses were designed by a single AI program. It was made to invade e coli rather than humans. Still the tech now exists. And as was mentioned in The Field of Dreams ( or nightmares); “If you build it they will come”.
