Last Notes npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Can you spot the difference? 🤔 I think I can: One of the pictures is shot in black and white. #NeverAgain should mean #Never #Again #Nazis are here. #FightBack #Now https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/114/274/575/347/219/862/original/be320dfd7db24fd5.png npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank I'm from the US and support this message. Musk is said to be stepping down, so it's clear that there's at least some hope in boycotts and protests. Starve the monster. You'll be helping people in the US, too, ultimately. We'll protest and boycott and push back from within, but pressure from without can only be a good thing right now. The oligarchs are a common enemy to ALL people and ALL life on this planet. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank https://youtube.com/shorts/9Kal6U7OQfQ npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Seed libraries, stuff-braries and maker spaces literally empower the masses by returning access to tools and resources to produce food and goods. And I'm 💯 here for it. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank You can tell a lot about a person by how they treat the waitress and cleaning staff. You can tell even more about them by how they treat dogs and children. We humans are our truest selves when we think no one is looking or no one in the room has the power to reprimand us. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank These people have been saying "Whoops, I accidentally Nazi'd" too many times to be believed. I've never accidentally Nazi'd. I've had 40-some-odd years on this earth and I've never oopsie-daisied into posting a picture with Nazi imagery, or golly-gosh-whoopsied a quote from Hitler or Mussolini. I think maybe, just maybe, when people talk like Nazis, act like Nazis, and salute like Nazis that POSSIBLY the most reasonable excuse is simply that they are ABSOLUTELY 🤬 fascist, 🤬 genocidal, 🤬 evil NAZIs! npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank We need data protections and a host of other things that banning TikTok doesn't resolve. Also, I heard the kids laughing about downloading Red Note and told them, point blank, that it was stupid. You don't solve your problem of being eaten by a wolf by feeding yourself to a tiger 🥴 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank I can't say I loved TikTok, but this feels more like a government overreach intended to benefit itself and its backers. Time to decentralize & become ungovernable. https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/113/855/707/640/701/680/original/8c57aefc270ce2ce.mp4 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank This seems like maybe a Star Wars thing, but I gotta say it... What in the giant d*ckspider IS THAT?? npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Mork was the best thing to result from Happy Days. I'll stand by this statement. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/113/676/343/207/461/084/original/d05f13ed65592f54.mp4 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank 🤣 The aliens heard we had sex bots and decided to see if we'd be down to share, I guess? I grew up watching Mork from Ork and Alf, so that line of thinking definitely tracks. They just want to party and eat cats, really. And the cat part is kind of an individual thing. #NotAllAliens just #Alf Also, to the silent gem and boomers that raised me: Don't tell me I have to grow up thinking conservatively after I spent my formative years enjoying a show where the ostensibly male character gives birth to a grandpa in an egg that calls his female parental figure papa. 🤣 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Thinking the stars in the sky are drones 🤔 I had a relative, older of course, call me the other day, quite upset about this topic. Could we stop trying to scare the old folks? Just for a few days? It's the holidays. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank This creature feels like a kindred spirit and I experienced this image on an emotional level. 😂 The end of 2024 is just the beginning of 2025, and I'm not sure I'm up for this in the slightest. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Again, I don't know. I was just told it has a good meaning and that was enough for me. I didn't ask, to be honest. "Don't worry, it's the good kind." Meanwhile me, not worried to begin with 🤔 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Yes, but I'm sure all of them would answer roughly the same way if asked, "What do you say to a nice cup of tea?" npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank It's not my belief system, so I wouldn't know, but I know it was given with good intentions so I'm taking care of it. All I know is that it's the good pentagram, so we're cool 😂 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank There are plenty of years that deserve to be knocked off the shelf. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Like this but the pentagram is on its head where the moon is on this one. https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/113/654/929/453/746/227/original/37f30e4a51819ead.png npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Ok, that makes sense 😂 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank I was also gifted a cat with a pentagram on its forehead for Christmas. It's the good kind of pentagram, not the bad kind, I was assured. Eh, so that's sitting next to some angel statues and people look at me a bit weird. It was a gift. It was given with good will and so accepted with good will. 🤣 There's a Buddha on that shelf somewhere, too. Take that future archeologists. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank We used to have a tree branch carved with holes for candles. It was something to do with Yule, but I don't know. It was a grandparent thing. No idea if anyone else ever did that or where the tradition came from 😂 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/113/654/775/725/428/849/original/5c409068bab00cba.mp4 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank I remember those days and the lousy DJs that would talk over the beginning and ends of songs just to thwart us would-be pirates. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank That image is a whole mood. 😂 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Terry Pratchett has a cameo. Ian Richardson is Death (because if anyone is going to speak in all caps, right?) npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank In my opinion, yes, but I am unusually fond of anything Discworld or Terry Pratchett related. 😄 It's an old two part miniseries from Sky Arts based on the book The Hogfather, which is a book about the Auditors (of reality) trying to assassinate the Discworld version of Santa Claus. Required viewing in this household. 😉 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank And yet that outfit begs to differ 😂 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank I can appreciate Christmas decorations with a menacing touch. 😂 It's almost time to bust out The Hogfather for a rewatch. https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/113/578/572/589/814/707/original/140b0834865e690b.mp4 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank I don't know about Klingon, but he definitely looks grumpy enough and certainly not someone prone to asking people to sit on his lap to inquire about presents. Being on his naughty list feels especially unwise. 😳😂 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Unrelated, but if the Yule Lads isn't the name of a football club somewhere in that region I'm going to view it as a dirty shame and missed opportunity 🤣 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Recommended reading: Six to eight black men by David Sedaris npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Much like with manslaughter, the victim is no less dead. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank That image definitely holds more of a Tuesday vibe, for me at least. I dunno about anyone else. (Also, can we just agree landmines are unacceptable in any circumstance? Why is it so hard for humanity not to suck.) npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank If they outlaw journalism, only outlaws will be journalists. If they outlaw libraries, only outlaws will be librarians. Being a journalist or a librarian is about to get a whole lot more meaningful. #librarianship https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/113/530/633/384/071/563/original/ebd69b7310c9e59c.mp4 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank "If anyone needs me I'll be retreating to my undisclosed cave in the wilderness to survive on locusts and honey from a bees arse until I die." -- Some Beleaguered Monastic or me, or someone else who's entirely done with this sh*t probably. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank "Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.[1][2][3]" I hope it's a joke but I have no reason to think this couldn't be real, either. In other news... What does an aneurysm feel like? Asking for, well, myself. I no longer have friends. I have abandoned all hope and humanity has lost me as a participant in its proceedings. 😭 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank A few thoughts in no particular order: Yay, science. 🥳 If your beliefs don't bring you peace and makes you a meaner, nastier person who is generally not a good neighbor it's probably not good for you -- or anyone really. ....... That's my two bit opinion. YMMV Also I'm going to put my spin on an old quote: “It doesn't matter what you believe regarding things no one can know or prove, as long as you don't do weird shit in the street and frighten the horses” 🥴😉 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Fair, but from the context of bronze-age goat-herds, I think they did a better job than expected. Also, I grade on the curve (not that anyone on earth cares how I rate world religions). That said, humans understand reality through narratives. That's the framework we're wired for...good or bad. You could rid the world of religion but you'd never shake myths and beliefs. We're the stories we tell ourselves and the games we play. I just wish we'd tell better stories and play cooperative games rather than these zero-sum nightmares we seem to insist upon. I only really care if people are trying and I find Evangelicals as a whole infuriating because they tend to outsource all their thinking duties. But, they're not alone. I've met plenty of people who don't try from every major religion and those who identify as atheists. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank I think, as a construct and a narrative, the Christian story is good, at least the New Testament part. There's a lot in the Beatitudes that's laudable and groundbreaking for the time and place. Where it all goes to hell (which has a really interesting history of how people conjured all that imagery) is the fact that in the US (and many other places) people are superstitious and in the US also ahistorical. But, I'm a weirdo. I think consciousness is fundamental to the universe rather than an emergent property. Not everyone looks at it that way. I certainly think there are heavens and hells, but most of the truly awful things come from a misalignment with higher purpose and principles. But this is getting deep, so I'll stop there and just say the Evangelicals are especially dumb. We can all agree on that 🤣 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Christian nationalists, anyway. I'm with Gandhi in liking Christ but not Christians. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank "Trump's just coming after the 'bad' immigrants" is beyond a hot take. He's coming after "enemies within" too. Anyone who thinks they're getting out of this without a scratch are either insane or a billionaire with a bunker in New Zealand. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank What's the word for this kind of idiot in Spanish...payaso? 🤡 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank True. He is the asterisk to the "Gen Z is the future*" statement. See also Charlie Kirk re: Millennials. Proof that youth is no buffer against general shitbaggery. 😑 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank *That's* the line? I mean, I'm glad he's acknowledging the fact it's a cult, but cosplaying as garbage was the final straw? Not *everything* else? npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank That's the most accurate Zeus depiction ever. I also feel the need to mention Jojo Rabbit. Taika is awesome. https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/113/397/095/547/718/676/original/99383cb2c678ceb9.mp4 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Meanwhile, I'll be working my butt off in the opposite direction. Tuck Frump. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Almost to the finish line on getting everyone passports in the fam. I'm voting, but I'm also making sure I've got a passport come Nov. 6th. Anyone else? #Passport #GTFO #Insurance npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank I'm glad you're pointing it out. Slightly more disturbing for me are the teachers and professors using AI to *GRADE* papers or the journals using it for peer review. I've got a scary true story: I was talking to an Ivy-League current professor working in academia during a broader discussion about "what AI can do" at the university. I've been tinkering with these things for a while and I said, "Reliably? Not much". You have to keep knowledgeable humans in the loop and, in at minimum, have narrowly focused AI with data that isn't just whatever can be scraped indiscriminately off the web--that was my basic answer. The person wanted it to summarize and evaluate student papers. The peer reviewers, likewise. What kind of world are we making? The students use LLMs to write the paper and the professors use the LLMs to grade them. What do people THINK will be the result of putting the whole world on autopilot? I'm not even against machine learning, but this is dumb npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank https://m.economictimes.com/news/science/scientist-links-human-consciousness-to-a-higher-dimension-beyond-our-perception/articleshow/113546667.cms Not me reading this and thinking of Flatland and Edwin Abbott Abbott. #Flatland #Consciousness #Weirdness npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Is it weird that I would enjoy telling a boss, "Sorry, I can't come in today. My train was attacked by squirrels"? npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/113/133/394/862/607/224/original/1bbb28c6b0785285.mp4 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank It's a tough old world, I tell you. The trees block the view of the forest and you try to talk to God about the predicament, but all you hear is the sound of your own voice. It just never ends. 🤣 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Something about motes or splinters and planks comes to mind. Some folks have the whole Lowe's lumber section in their eyeballs and want to go around lecturing people about seeing an ophthalmologist. npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Calling Catherine the Great: "Quit horsing around" #PrankCallAFamousHistoricalPerson #HashTagGames npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank Dare I ask? 😱 npub1h7ge0cat7xka0wsy7hlrwsvysgrqxa95s6lh6he4anwfn7sqquzsfsa6y3 INTENTIONALLY blank We have a different perception of time. Example: Kid - "Mom, can you pick me up?" Me - "I thought your dad was?" Kid - "He said he'd be here in 10 minutes." Me - "Oh. I'm on my way then." ....... Calls husband, I ask where he is, he tells me some vague location that is at least 30 minutes away from the pick up point. ...... See also in the car with husband: "Relax, it's close, we'll be there in like 5 minutes." ((Arrive 20 minutes late.)) "See I told you we'd be on time."
