he invented it!

give him the award!
when somebody says to you "i've been at the forefront of fighting this problem, that we've made absolutely no progress on for forty years, and are probably past the point where we can fix it", maybe he's not the best guy to vote for.

eh?
in fact, you should give joe biden an award for inventing climate change!
joe biden invented climate change.

obviously.
again: did i miss anything?

not this spring, so far. or, not really.
so, i've been thinking about the detroit issue and i may have my logic backwards.

what i've been thinking is that if i just wait until the issue is removed from the cpic database, then i won't really have to worry about anything at the border, so long as there's no issue with nexus. but, i'm still going to have to be honest if they ask. and, frankly, the amount of time i've already waited is already unreasonable.

so, i'm going to have to talk this through when i cross, regardless - it's not going to evaporate.

so, what i'm going to do is bring them the letter the cops sent me indicating a destruction is in process. if they don't accept that, and force me to buy a waiver, i'll need to sue the rcmp over it.

the time lengths involved in this process are unacceptable; we need reform, here, and the so-called contemporary left has completely lost the plot in actually calling for stiffer sentences for...like, my issue isn't even a non-violent non-offense, it's just a cop with his head up his ass. you bring this to some dipshit running a safe space, and they'd give me a life sentence for a microaggression. here in the real world, this should have been deleted instantly. as it is, it could be a year, and i'm not going to wait.

i mean, let's say i wait a year and i get denied anyways. then, i need to sue the cops a second time. if i get denied now, the issue could be resolved faster than that. and, if i don't, i didn't waste a year. i'm not better off being cautious here, after all - i'm better off pushing my luck and putting the legalities of it in process if i have to.

i simply don't know if i they can see the file or not; i have conflicting information about non-conviction information.

if i end up adding this to the lawsuit, i'll want to know before i file. so, i'll maybe even want to push it a few times....

there is actually no good reason for them to deny me entry, and i don't expect a problem. but, you can't expect too much logic from the border guards. 

so, it's nice out. finally. i'm going to try to enjoy it.
"you know what they say about me? they call me the coyote, because i'm so smart. and, i think they're right, too."
i mean, it's easy to make this kind of naive argument about how they've been going after them for years and blah blah blah...

...but, it's kind of willful ignorance, isn't it? i mean, yes: these are the same architects of the invasion into iraq. but, they're also the same people involved in iran-contra, and that have been carrying through with these shady deals for years that nobody completely understands.

the bottom line is that it doesn't actually make any sense for the united states to invade iran at this point, and if they resort to doing so it will be due to a deficit of reason rather than something that can be easily pieced together and presented as an argument. it will be a wag the dog type operation to save the oval office, and probably doomed to fail before it starts.
but, i'm actually hoping that don the coyote likes his new sly nickname and uses it himself.

"they call me the coyote. and you know why? because they say i'm quick on my feet. and, i think they're right, too."
is this iran fiasco serious?

the russians are there. this isn't granada, it's not even iraq. it's a potentially wwIII starting situation.

so, why is the coverage so middle of the road? why aren't people freaking out? and, you can make an argument for desensitization, but i don't actually think that most people are taking them seriously - not viscerally, not deep down, not in their gut. we seem to collectively know this is theatre.

i don't think that the americans are that crazy. and, let's be clear, here: an american attack on iraq would put them into the same category of rogue state as the worst basket-cases on the planet. they could find themselves losing long term allies, stuck on a thousand foot pier out to nowhere with this israeli noose tied around their neck. the world will rally around the defense of iran.

but, trump needs a bad gay that he can play toy soldier with - and one that's willing to play along.

but, what if i'm wrong? or what if somebody fucks up?

then, you're looking at a multitheatre event open up overnight.
so, am i getting better?

it's not clear.

i'd say it's more like i'm riding a wavefunction in and out of reality - i'm getting better and worse and then better again. whether i'm reacting explicitly to the smoke or the enclosed air is sort of moot at this point, as i'm getting clear cause and effect around the pressure in my head with the bathroom fan. there seems to be something building up on that side, and i do in fact think that it's smoke.

so, i cleaned the bedroom fan out; you know how they get. it was long overdue. it should stop me from tiping over, anyways.

i don't know if i'm going to stay up or not, but it seems unlikely just right now. the literature is keen to point out that these migraines are not like strokes, but tell that to my body, which seems to think it just had one. it's just constant tiredness...

my mind isn't tired. i want to do something, anything. but, my body is so overwhelmed that i don't think there's any other option.

so, i guess we'll try again in a few hours....
