- Lust For Life
- Biological connection to all life
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life- Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased (they have died), or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate.
- Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria.
- Life on Earth first appeared as early as 4.28 billion years ago, soon after ocean formation 4.41 billion years ago,
- Humans separated from Fungus around 2.1 billion years ago
- Humans separated from amphibia around 395 million years ago
- Humans separated from reptiles around 340 million years ago
- Humans only existed as a separate genus around 2.5 million years ago
- Because we are all literally connected and have a shared experience of fighting for life, I feel connected when I am surrounded by life
- I enjoy the life that is not human more than the life that is human, if I don’t know it. I.e. tribalism
- Understanding the ecosystems that sustain and support life is part of the magic of life, knowing life will persist regardless of the current genus or species
- Earth has been assaulted by asteroid impacts that nearly wiped out life repeatedly, and we just came back.
- To pretend we know the ultimate evolution of life, or if we will even be a conscious part of it is pure ignorance.
- Whatever form life takes, I welcome it, as we will still be connected to it, and through that, we will be immortal.

- Trump says the Antifa rioter who shot dead a ‘MAGA martyr’ in Portland last month was served ‘retribution’ by US Marshals when they ‘killed him’ – and adds ‘that’s the way it has to be’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8726871/Trump-Antifa-protester-killed-MAGA-martyr-Portland-dealt-retribution-Federal-Marshals.html- President Trump has justified the killing of an antifa protestor in Portland who shot dead a far-right Patriot Prayer supporter, describing it as ‘retribution’.
- Speaking on Fox News on Saturday night to Judge Jeanine Pirro, the president explained how he sent in U.S. Marshals to specifically target antifa supporter 48-year-old Michael Reinoehl.
- Speaking on Fox News on Saturday night to Judge Jeanine Pirro, the president explained how he sent in U.S. Marshals to specifically target antifa supporter 48-year-old Michael Reinoehl.
- Danielson was a member of Patriot Prayer, a group which has organized rallies in support of Donald Trump and far-right protests in predominantly liberal areas, which have been met with large numbers of counter-protesters.
- Last week, police officers investigating Danielson’s death ended up fatally shooting Reinoehl after finding him in Lacey, Washington, south of Seattle.
- Portland police had secured a second-degree murder warrant for Reinoehl in connection with Daniel’s death according to Fox News.
- Reinoehl was shot multiple times and killed by US Marshals outside an apartment block in Washington state.
- ‘This guy was a violent criminal and the U.S. Marshals killed him. That’s the way it has to be. There has to be retribution when you have crime like this. There can’t be guys standing up that wanna fight. You can’t throw bricks at people with shields.’
- At least four officers, including two Pierce County Sheriff’s deputies, a Lakewood police officer and a state Department of Corrections officer, fired multiple rounds at the suspect during the incident.
- Reinoehl appeared to confess to Danielson’s death in a video interview with Vice News just hours before his own death.
- In the video, Reinoehl said he had acted in self-defense and said his actions were ‘totally justified’.
- ‘I had no choice. I mean, I, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn’t going to do that,’ he said.
- ‘Let’s say there are threats. They say that they are going to threaten riots if they lose on election night, assuming we get a winner on election night. What are you going to do?’ the host asked him.
- ‘We’ll put them down very quickly if they do that. We have the right to do that. We have the power to do that if we want,’ Trump responded.
- ‘Look, it’s called insurrection. We just send in, and we do it very easy. I mean, it’s very easy. I’d rather not do that because there’s no reason for it, but if we had to, we’d do that and put it down within minutes. Within minutes,’ Trump explained.
- Trump has repeatedly gone after ‘rioters’ and ‘looters’ who he said are rival Joe Biden supporters.
- Trump using the term ‘insurrection’ may refer to the Insurrection Act which allows the commander in chief to deploy U.S. troops to enforce federal or state laws under certain circumstances
