Donald Trump has run a TV ad in Atlanta that attacked Fani Willis ahead of his possible 4th criminal indictment involving the Georgia election. Trump is desperate for attention and his corruption has been long documented by people from across the political spectrum. Trump's lust for vengeance is repugnant. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is expected to seek more than a dozen indictments when she presents her case before a grand jury next week regarding the efforts of Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 Presidential election results in the state. The Atlanta, Georgia courthouse and Fani Willis (plus her aides) have received increased security because of the racists using threats against Willis plus her aides. The FBI had to kill one man in Utah for threatening Biden and Alvin. Nauta and De Oliveira appeared in court on new document charges.
Recently, the Trump supporter DJ Akademiks cursed out Erykah Badu and SZA in offensive terms. For years, I never respected DJ Akademiks, because he exploited the violence in Chicago for profit, he disrespects women, he has great arrogance, and he continues to lie about Megan The Stallion (even Tory Lanez gave a statement saying that he admitted responsibility for the wrong things that took place. So, Lanez should face accountability for shooting Megan Thee Stallion). The reactionary person DJ Akademiks acts like this since he believes that since he has some money, that he can say what he wants. No, you can't say what you want in America. We have laws forbidding defamation and verbal threats against human beings, so free speech is never absolute (even the Supreme Court admits to that reality). We have a new generation of Internet frauds who love to advance hatred, bigotry, and gender war nonsense that distracts from real issues like voting rights, economics, health care, and our democracy in general.
There is the growth of the transhumanism movement. It has been researched by large corporations and various foundations. New technology from DARPA and other agencies has advanced so much in the past few decades. Transhumanism is the Utopian ideal that in the future, its proponents want humans and technology to merge to increase life expectancy and possibly live years and centuries beyond 125 (which is the highest age that humans live in this generation). Transhumanists dreams of placing brain waves on computer systems, replace organs, and other bold plans. This movement has been around for years, and scientists have done experiments on mice that reverses aging. For example, researchers at Harvard University are investigating whether human genes could reverse the effects of aging. Dr. Akshay Syal had reported on their lab on plans on trying to defy aging. In the next 2 to 3 decades, many scientists want to create pills that can reverse aging on human beings. In our time, people have reduced aging involving brain cells in new experiments. There are ethical questions about transhumanism like is it moral to have controversial means to use brainwaves on humans, are fully merged humans and computerized machines truly human, there are privacy issues, and what are the social implications of such actions. This is beyond a new frontier. This is another era of time that we have to reckon with along with the advances of A.I. technology.
The breaking news is that there are massive wildfires in Hawaii, especially in Maui. There are massive evacuations in the area too. This natural disaster is unprecedented in Hawaii's history. At least 56 people have passed away from the wildfires. There are damaging houses, and people jumping into the ocean to escape the fires too. According to Hawaii Governor Josh Green, much of the town of Lahaina is destroyed (with hundreds of families being displaced). There is no 911 service on Maui's west side, with resorts, visitors, and commercial districts losing communication due to downed cell towers, according to an emergency official. Hurricane Dora is moving in the region too. The Baldwin House or a historic building and the oldest house on Maui burned down in the wildfire. Many people were riding in bicycles telling people to leave because of the danger. President Joe Biden has declared Hawaii a national emergency designation which means that federal agencies and the National Guard will help the victims of the wildfire disaster.
Some space news is that Richard Branson's space tourism company of Virgin Galactic, has successfully launched its tourism mission on space. The space trip was a success. The space plane is the VSS Unity that took off at 8:30 am. MT from a New Mexico spaceport attached to a massive twin fuselage mothership. It carried 3 people who are entrepreneur and health and wellness coach Keisha Schahaff and her daughter Anastatia Mayers (the first space travelers from Antigua in the Caribbean. Mayers is 18th years old being the 2nd youngest person in space, and she is studying philosophy and physics at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland) and former Olympian Jon Goodwin (who was a canoeist in the 1972 Munch Summer Games). Goodwin is the 2nd person with Parkinson's disease to travel into space. The mothership is called VMS Eve. It traveled upward to more than 40,000 feet. It traveled more than 50 miles above the Earth's surface. The space fan traveled in supersonic speeds. This is the start of a new era of space tourism, and in the future humans may make colonies in the Moon and Mars in the years and decades to come. It's an exciting time to be alive.
