Apparently There is A New Star Wars Map - Saturday Night OT

So there is more to celebrate today than just the gathering at the 2nd annual Obama Foundation Democracy Forum





and the 15th anniversary of the election of the first Black President of the United States




The Foundation's Democracy Forum covers 6 hours of everything from wellness in our ubiquitous digital space to how to find credible, reliable news amongst the global floods of misinformation and the absorption of local outlets in these global behemoths, to AI and building an inclusive economic society


It's a spirit-lifter (Baratunde Thurston co-hosts with President Obama as the forum-long MC and Valerie Jarrett moderates several panels) and here is the link to the whole thing so you can listen to segments as time allows



There are some other frank talks in comments about the state of the nation and the world (Karen Hunter talks with Drs Mary Trump and Koritha Mitchell, and it felt healing and validating just to hear the truth spoken w/clarity as we work out where we go from here in order to exert best efforts to hang onto democracy in the midst of this global maelstrom of ... other stuff)




they could be in your house right now ^^
