I was thinking abut the Supreme Court decision regarding presidential immunity. Until quite recently, everyone understood that after leaving office, a former president was just another citizen, and no immunity followed the former president. I believe that understanding is obvious in the Constitution, but some people can't read as well as everyone used to. Since reading comprehension has deteriorated so much, it might be a good idea to rewrite the Constitution is seven simpler terms. I fend ...
I recently ran into the theory that time is an illusion, yet again. I have been seeing and hearing that idea for years, but the people who express that notion have not yet managed to get that concept to be reflected in observable reality. Or, they can claim that time is an illusion all they want, but until I look outside and watch events that occurred a few thousand years ago as they take place, I will have my doubts.

Recently, I have been in rehabilitation as a result of being hit by a car, and after some time, they moved me to the nursing care part of the facility. That move has been horrible. Being in a medical facility is unpleasant, but I find the way that people are treated in the nursing home to be repugnant.
