2025 Solar Storm Super Shock

John Jacob

Election day November 5th 2024 dawned quixotically calm over most of the nation, when 'some very fine people on both sides' anticipated victory, unlike murkier days ahead. Echoes of Republican vote tally certification issues were fainter after laws enacted post-2020 went into effect. Still, 'cheat to win' was polled to be far too popular nationwide. https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/partner_surveys/election_2024_would_you_cheat_to_win_28_say_yes 23 states lean Republican=189.

Neurodivergents

John Jacob

Insecure, reticent, socially inept, yet occasionally waxing wise, I've often wondered if maybe I'm just wired weirdly. In 4th grade I won a spelling bee. In 7th a boy classmate & I had a Radio-Telephone entry that won our school's Science Fair. In 8th my Sierra Club essay won a chauffered limo trip to a banquet, as well as a girl classmate & I co-created our school newspaper. Bored, unmotivated & depressed, my study habits with few exceptions were mainly abyssmal. Except for winning pool trophies, managing a friend's campaig...

LUCAsian After Math

John Jacob

Once upon a time, long after Dinosauria roamed Pangaea, in Cenozoic-Pleistocene-Gelasian times, before an era of fictional dragons, rocs, orcs, dwarves, wizards, elves & hobbits, genus Australopithecus spawned Homo in Gaîa. A mere blip on the world stage, tree-living biped foragers went virtually unnoticed, as their brains gradually grew in size & complexity, while other species exceeded them in speed, strength, sight, smell, hearing, tunnelling & flight. By powers of observation, adaptation & ingenuity, they got ...
