#Writers, Coleridge's "spontaneous creation" theory was specifically about how imagination and unconscious processes work together during initial composition. His concept emphasized the mysterious, almost unconscious emergence of artistic ideas.

Following the real "Clues" not the political rhetoric of a nuts & volts current administration.
Akin to Mellon's thinking, 1930s, today's Treasury Sec is an example of how economic theory divorced from human suffering can lead to catastrophic policy decisions. Proved disastrous during the Great Depression. it contributed to a prolonged economic collapse w/ unemployment (Purging DC.)
JR is divorced from human suffering - he'll lead us into catastrophic policy decisions.
Haha!
Trump's goals for the Fed are 'very dangerous,' warns Fmr. Fed Chair & Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen. The financial system is “like the plumbing in your house,” says Yellen. “You don’t think about it most of the time. It’s important that it works,” but you're very “aware of it when it’s broken” #Velshi

Getting Inside the Tarriff Costs on Consumers - www.cnbc.com/2025/08/29/t...
The 10th Circle - For Stage. Aye, in the tradition of Rod Serling, his moral analogous style, we find that the universe itself has been watching our elected officials. And it has been taking notes. Dante is called to create a deeper circle for those elected with enablers who abandoned public trust.
The 10th Circle My play imagines justice operates on a cosmic scale - not as revenge, but as divine mathematics. It borrows Dante’s architectural blueprint, Milton’s scope, Kafka’s machinery to construct something new, a moral fantasy for our time, where the betrayal of public trust is examined.
The Power of the Purse dialogue with James Madison and Thomas Paine - like Taxation without Representation - Article 1 - 9. It's not complicated for normal folks to understand, a Tarriff is an import tax on my coffee - yet he'll find cause to delay via SCOTUS. I'm optimistic we'll win on merit's.

Sets scenes, gentle tick-tick of chess clock ; Constitutional Convention: 165,600 minutes of debate. Ratification process: 400,320 additional minutes of State considerations. Total: 565,920 minutes = 1.1 years of deliberate, sustained effort.) An Evening Chess Game Mount Vernon, September 1787.
The Clock Factor: Manufactured crises try to force "blitz chess" - demanding immediate moves under artificial time pressure" We must act NOW!" = trying to put democracy on a 3-minute speed chess clock But resilience (R = π) operates on "correspondence chess" time - measured, deliberate, sustainable.
Trump's manufactured crises are often temporal manipulations - they create false urgency that disrupts the natural "sustainable pace" of democratic processes. Trump's Bean bags are essentially trying to force the tortoise to panic and start running like the hare. Sequel; "Good Morning Democracy!"

Yes, the Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. Johnson (1989) that burning the American flag is protected speech under the First Amendment. In a 5-4 decision, the Court held that flag burning constitutes expressive conduct or "symbolic speech" that is protected by the Constitution.
Let's go for a Day trip Drive. Hop into a car and set off toward the nearest star, Proxima Centauri. If you drove non-stop at 60 miles per hour, it would take about 365 billion years to reach it. Proxima Centauri is about 4.24 light-years away, or roughly 25 trillion miles.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
R = π (T × W) "Nulla est firmitas sine veritatibus et sanitate" "There is no strength without truths and wellness." Jim_Writes R = π (T × W) Where: R = Resilience T = Truth factor W = Wellness factor π = The eternal constant of cyclical strength.
