Trump already 'dropped the ball' during his previous administration and he was not re-elected. Now he has learned his lesson.

That they would drop the ball again and return 'as a solid ally for Europe' is indeed wishful thinking.

Just 2 months in, they already started attacking the counts and voting.

Academic wishlist:
What if funding/fellowship/grant agencies would simply allow submission of a LaTeX template (as in Overleaf's Submit to button). I understand why it's currently a mix and match of web forms and docx/pdf, but a single interface that easily allows for inclusion of references, mathematics, figures, schematics, etc, would allow me to focus on the application, and not the logistics. #LaTeX #Academia #WishFulThinking #ScientificWriting

Just thinking how nice it would be to have a political Party that genuinely represents the people, especially dedicated to housing all, providing great educational opportunity for all, healthcare including mental health, eye heath and dentistry for all and true care of our environment. Also dedicated to a peaceful world.

I need to get some dental work done. My dentist warned me several years ago that it would get to this point (genetic ‘lucky dip’ = soft teeth) so I’ve been squirrelling money away to cover the cost.
I’m thankful I’ve been able to do this, as it means I don’t have to worry about losing a tooth, but seeing my rainy day account being decimated will hurt more than the dentist visits.
Wouldn’t it be better to have dental included in healthcare?

'My fellow Americans, in my first term the right demonized every move I made and ignored all accomplishments. In my second term, I will ignore the right and pass popular legislature by hook or by crook.. or in this case, by Congress or executive order. Healthcare will become a priority again, immigration will be scrutinized, student debt will be eradicated, climate change will be a priority and we will focus more on domestic issues, ending funding to Israel.'
