I feel a wee bit disappointed but nothing to really worry about. Since the regular tax season ended, I've meant to write more regularly. The last couple weeks have gotten a little difficult, though. I have a lot of hypotheses around my project and the politics of today but feel disappointed about not having conclusions or at least useful sounding abductions. I've spent a lot of time jumping around the Internet just looking for leads on hypotheses, obsessively, mind you. The inconclusives ended up pretty much not enough research done or published, articles talking about generalized conclusions from "research" that isn't cited, or just the ruminations of some random person.
Ah well, so I guess that means more searching for answers. Nothing to worry about, though. Frustrating as the lashing out research gets, it provides me some focus. I just wish I had enough money to be independently wealthy, so I wouldn't have to worry about time too much. I could just study, write, study, write, and maybe venture out somewhere for a hike or adventure. Things will come together at some point. Having things come together earlier rather than later would just be more comfortable. That's life I guess.
All that said, have some Twittervism:

It's one thing to de-regulate but now the Department of Labor wants to discourage people from socially responsible investing, impact investing, etc.? [45]'s WH is seriously anti-social. https://t.co/j31c0DBlHx

There are few issues more important to the security of the US than the potential spread of nuclear weapons or the potential for even more destructive war in the Middle East. Today’s decision to put the JCPOA at risk is a serious mistake. My full statement: https://t.co/4oTdXESbxe

Wait. Am I correct in reading that Friedrich Hayek, "patron saint" of libertarians, was heavily influenced (like many others) by the satire of Bernard Mandeville? Sadly, closest source I can find online is a webpage point-by-point arguing libertarianism=Satanism. 8/

Torture is NOT tough. Torture is wrong. It endangers American servicemembers and betrays our nation’s values. Torture destroys what makes America truly great: a devotion to the rule of law and respect for human dignity and freedom #TortureIsDisqualifying https://t.co/8sYMhKqUHP

I'm not surprised that GOP, despite alleged attempts at eschewing "identity politics", actually ascribe to it more than others. https://t.co/URmMtrUO00

Idea I'll open for criticism: lobbiest tax. Public officials & candidates can't accept lobbiest gifts or money. Instead, lobbiests can offer to put money into an election fund. When it comes to time to elections, money gets distributed to candidates who don't use own money. Go!
