Good morning. The United States is causing death, destruction and chaos, overseas and domestically. Same as it ever was.

Amen. This really gets to the heart of the matter:

The path of AI is to whittle down all human expression and thought to a single, homogeneous, reductive voice.

The path of human creativity is to express new thoughts, viewpoints, "mistakes" that continue to take us places we've never been before.

flintleaf and firesky
eyes lost in deep and spark
body wants to lie down
will wants to walk on
there is a turning ahead
a place with water and shade
but i will still love
this fire of the world.

I was composing a poem in my mind when the manager of the building where I live said there was a sick bird in the garden. I called the Avian Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, waited for them to come and pick up the little one. They've helped us with raptor rescues before. I've forgotten the poem.

My grandfathers were both stoics in practice. Very early in life I realised I admired them but would explode if I tried to be just like them.

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

Oh but I could never be a stoic. Imagine not complaining all the time.

Been thinking about this and you know what? It was so bad and so over-priced I actually feel cheerful. What a nutty world!

This channel focuses on the style of various famous women. It was an interesting lens through which to view Polly Jean!

DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days The woman's family said federal agents told them that she was not in custody despite her phone location previously showing her at the Broadview facility.

She literally had her passport with her at the airport and still got detained. AND THEN ICE lied to her family about where she was even though her phone location was being shared.

I've just read one of the worst things I've ever had the misfortune of reading and I can't tell any of you because it would cause unnecessary drama.
