Earth Clock A digital clock assembled from views of Earth from above that resemble numbers.

This is one of my favorite ASMR websites. Great stress reducer, good for moving into meditation. Also, a good way to visit other places on this Earth before Armageddon, if Hegseth has his way. 😱

It is 11 AM EDT, I have emptied the first pot of coffee, and the second one is brewing now. I am not totally awake yet, after a 3 AM bout of writing.

Therefore, the pix is my operating modality today.

OH, FOXY--
EW1 often said I talk in paragraphs. I write extensively (Urban fiction, sci-fi, military, and cross-genre), so, yah, the limit kills me.
"Half as long" doesn't work...

Rachael, there is no disconnect between us. I agree with you. I never want to see a Butlerian Jihad...

Thinking back over the last month, I've not had a bot-generated Wiki article.

For damned sure I'm sensitized to the issue...and I thank you for that...

Seems they are attempting to deal with the issues. Giving them props for that. The LLM/GenAI/agenticAI field is moving ahead of the "hounds" trying to track the "varmits" down, methinks.

Still, I find Wiki useful. Gonna keep using and donating. As a BASE source. Not the final word, though.

How Faith Forward Democrats Are Flipping The Script On Christian Nationalists Are the 'What Would Jesus Do?' politics of James Talarico the key to taking MAGA down?

Long read. If you are a critical thinker...well, long reads aren't a problem, are they, right? Long reads have facts and new information.

This one is, IMHO, a critical long read.

These rooms were prevalent in the early '80s through the mid '90s, IIRC.

The Impotence of Drill, Baby, Drill America produces a lot of oil. It doesn’t matter.

In the FP world, when hunting primo FPs in the wild, we often are told about the great pen that was bought by "sumgui" three days before.

The bafflegarbage presented, IMHO, was written by "sumgui", unnamed, and likely unnameable.

Cuz we'd hunt them down with a dog to tar and feather.

Former Jan 6 rioter, pardoned by Trump on the first day of his current term. Pedophile, just like Trump. Now serving a life term for, yes, pedophilia.

Just a little sideshow to the Trump Circus.
Since the Jan 6 pardons (1500 total), 33 of these πŸ’©heels have been arrested, tried, found guilty and received long prison sentences. This reprobate is the latest.

Not in the mood for shitposts.

Currently working on a project that is in an area that is of great concern.

Vance as POTUS.

If Trump is as near to death as doomsayers are saying, Vance is a wild card and subject to influence by some very bad actors outside the Cabinet.

Will report back.

I have vague memories of HST from newspaper pictures, probably 5-6 years old (1950/51). I have VIVID memories of DDE, and every POTUS since.

FDR died four months after I was born. Transistors were patented three YEARS after I was born.
