Well, this is not really stupid,  just sad:

“Lansing — Citing “safety and security concerns,” the Michigan House and Senate will close their offices in downtown Lansing on Monday as presidential electors meet in the state Capitol.

“On Sunday night, House and Senate officials sent notifications about the closures to members and staff. At 2 p.m. Monday, the state’s 16 presidential electors will convene in the Senate chamber to cast their votes for Democratic President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris…

Coronavirus Q&A: Can I get the vaccine if I’ve already had COVID-19? – Anchorage Daily News

I’ve had COVID-19 before. Will I still be able to get vaccinated? Yes. Health officials such as the state’s chief medical officer, Dr. Anne Zink, say that the vaccine may provide a more “robust” immune response than getting the illness itself. And they’re not asking anyone to get an antibody test before receiving the vaccine. Immunity to COVID-19 can wane, Zink said. So, even if someone did test positive for COVID-19, a vaccine is still important. They’re just asking that people who are actively sick wait to get the vaccine.

Colonialismo del siglo XXI: ¿implementado por corporaciones y ONG? ¿De quién está en juego la supervivencia aquí, Survival? ¿La supervivencia de los bosques tropicales y los pueblos indígenas o Cartier y otros en la industria del oro y la joyería de diamantes de lujo? — Barbara Crane Navarro

Colonialism of the 21st century: implemented by corporations and NGOs? Whose survival is at stake here, Survival? Survival of tropical forests and indigenous peoples or Cartier and others in the luxury gold and diamond jewelry industry?

The systematic European conquest and colonization of the Americas began in 1492 and is still ongoing. The main motivation was, and still is, exploitation.

Peace Through Bribery? ‹ In Saner Thought ‹ Reader — WordPress.com

Enter Trump and his brand of silly diplomacy…..the Saudis get nuke technology if they recognize and formalize relations with Israel….then the UAE gets advanced weaponry to do the same….now Morocco has decided to deal with Israel but only after the Trump admin sends them advanced drones.

Not only do the Moroccans get advanced weaponry but the US will recognize their claim to the Western Sahara….

Holding On to People May Heal Them

Foundation Operation X for Languages, Cultures and Perspectives

Written by Dyami Millarson

It is in my character to hold on to people, believing we will know each other for life like we are the members of the same ancient tribe. I have often noticed that people appreciate my human relationship style and that people trust me based on my instinctive assumption of lifelong loyalty. People have told me that they feel comfortable, understood and safe with me, and I think that my acceptance of lifelong human relationships is a contributing factor, because people desire reliability.

I learned from East Asian culture that giving up relationships may generally be bad, and that holding on to people is generally speaking the most desirable. Not leaving people has several advantages such as that you may learn the truth about a person’s real motivations, you build up more mutual understanding and you may help heal a person or at least improve their…
