Can Trump really stage a coup? Experts weigh in on whether it's possible (Salon, 11 November 2020). Personally I think he's going for the coup, but he could also be whipping up enthusiasm for upcoming Senate races, or just piling up the green via donations.

Physical stress caused by interruptions in workplace (news-medical.net, 28 October 2020). I wonder if this is related to my difficulty in writing at home -- a space with multiple uses, not just for work. (I get a lot done in cafes.)

Let’s Stop Talking about “Battling Cancer” (Scientific American, January 2020). For many patients this metaphor turns their illness into a moral issue.

e.e. cummings' pity this busy monster, manunkind. You know the end of this poem.

But the end of Laura Gilpin's Two-Headed Calf bit me in the soul.

Does he want a coup? Yes, I think so. Does he have enough support to stage one? I don't think so, at least not in the places he needs it (military mostly). Will there be effectively insurgencies in his favour - most likely, but at this point I'd guess on a very low level.

Could totally be wrong though, and if we end up with two governments claiming legitimacy things will get interesting.
