I ran for US Senate to add my voice to yours, in opposition to Trump and the direction the Republican party was headed. I'm undone today. The fight was worth it. Thank you. Each and every one of you. There's still justice in America.

I finally gave in and asked for help solving the Rubik's cube 2 weeks ago. Bought a 6x6 cube yesterday, solved it within half an hour. Today I solved the 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6 in 26min 10sec. Do you think Trump could solve the 2x2?

@Theresaroets911 Superiority is silly, and, I think, an animalistic instinct. I am not better than, nor less than any one else. Hell, I'm not even equal to any entity on this planet. I'm uniquely me, just as everyone else is uniquely them, and that's beautiful.

Can I just say how much more peaceful these past 4 years have been compared to the 4 before? 4 years ago I was a data scientist making almost 6 figures, running for US Senate. Since then I've been homeless. I'd take these 4 years of peace over the madness 2016-2020 was any day.

We're all family, the entirety of humanity, and more. Us and the animals come from a common source, and even further. All of life was born from the same Mother Gaea, but not only that. All of existence started at the same Moment. Try to treat it as such.

The world is headed for global change for the better. It might not look like it from here, but some day soon children will grow up in a post-war society, and all the effort we put into getting there will have been worth it.

Suffering is caused by attraction and aversion, trying to create permanence out of that which is inherently impermanent. To end your suffering, learn to take things as they come, one day at a time, one moment at a time, one breath at a time. That's all we're promised anyhow.

The left-hand path and the right-hand path lead to the same destination. The journey is the destination. Take an apophatic or cataphatic approach to theology, say "neti, neti" or "iti, iti" and the results are the same.

OK OK, so I am still technically running for President, because why not, and it gave me something to talk about these past 4 years while having the time of my life being homeless. That said, don't let Trump be president again. I'll retire and become Newport Mayor for all I care.
