Anyone else’s phone suddenly takes forever to load apps and the battery draining really quickly?

It’s been happening since about a week ago and I have a pretty new phone too.

What if the multiverse is really just our collective minds connected by physical reality? So, each mind is its own universe and physical reality is the plane in which we connect those realities.

Observation about Pluto in Scorpio (1983-1995) which brought a wave of smoking bans and anti-smoking ads.

Yall thinking RizzBot is funny but it’s collecting data on human behavior responses. They sell that data to companies who will train/socialize AI robots that have an allegiance to corporate elites. #AI #robots #corporatism #tech #rizzbot #sociology

I believe as Uranus Gemini progresses through its degrees, conflict evolves from siblings to neighbors, from cousins to countrymen, and lastly fellow humans and neighboring countries.

By the end of this Uranus Gemini transit, we will likely see the climax of a Third World War.

Go watch the last scene of Andor season 2, episode 7 ‘The Messenger’.

That’s where we are currently at on this timeline.

Those who subscribe to the Ferris Bueller is ‘stuck in a time loop’ theory genuinely cannot comprehend spontaneity.

You are right 💚

Filler episodes do originate from anime but has evolved and manifested in various other mediums.

They were originally used by writers to avoid overtaking a manga’s narrative but we can find examples in Breaking Bad, GoT, Doctor Who, and Supernatural.

Let’s talk about how slang used to take a generation to evolve and now it takes weeks.

Studies have show LLMs trained on human languages struggle to keep up with how quickly we develop new slang.

Slang develops primarily among the youth and marginalized groups outside of the mainstream. #ai #slang

What if we just made our own organization to counter ICE’s illegal raids?

FIRE: Federation for Immigrant Relief and Empowerment

Fuck, man. I just read that people are now selling AI prompts to people who are too stupid/lazy to think of their own prompts.

Critical thinking will be dead in a generation.

I’m rewatching Dexter and it’s so clear how much this show influenced Mr. Robot—particularly the monologuing antisocial anti-hero. But, it’s most evident in the last scene of Dexter’s season 1 finale.

‘Homogeny’ and ‘monoculture’ are not interchangeable terms.

But, both operate on the principle of uniformity at the expense of diversification.

We know what happens when people inbreed for generations and we know what happens when we rely on a single crop that is more susceptible to disease.

Ignoring Trump's interference, Brazil gives a lesson in holding former leaders accountable, as they put Bolsonaro under house arrest. He is accused of staging a coup to stay in power. Sound familiar, America? #Brazil #Accountability

Damn, South Park really is the ‘political cartoon’ of the contemporary times.

Do y’all know what we call the classic format of political cartoons now? Memes.

Astrocartography related, I think I would greatly benefit moving away from the energy that my natal chart experiences in Houston.

It can best be summed up as an energetic pressure cooker. The longer I’ve lived here, the more tense my environment has felt, and it’s suffocating.

Trump is going deeper into sunk cost fallacy with this Epstein coverup to the point that I believe it will be the main catalyst behind his dictatorship.

Trump’s goal was to leave a legacy he’d be admired for. Do you think he’ll be satisfied going out like this?

He’s gonna force the plot.

If World War 3 does pop off, I don’t see America winning.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the moment in history where America gets invaded and finally gets punched in the fucking mouth.

In Alanis Morisette’s song ‘Ironic’ the first line is, “an old man turned ninety-eight”, which is a very straightforward, unironic statement to begin the song with, thus making it perfectly ironic within the context of the entire song. Genius.
