Clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... Carl Sagan, Demon Haunted World

Its an excuse for them to do whatever they want. I recall people being pulled form their vehicles by Proud Boys and Boogaloo Boys shouting "Hey, he's antifa!" And here we are in the midst of everything not MAGA being declared a terrorist threat.

OMG, if I had any extra books about ghosts, I would totally add it!

Its stupid but people will prioitize what their Followers (fuck, that is disturbing) want over what is valid. It was noticed elsewhere that if something disagrees with the bubble, it just gets ignored and the ulterior narrative re-emphasized to those that agree. Mind boggling!

And its not like you have to call the reference room at the library. Its pretty damned easy to actually find these things out! That fact alone is just so alienating to any sense of considering pretty much anything!

Well fuck, Kodlak Whitemane died and now I have to go back in time to when he was still alive and hunt down those witches so he can go to Sovngarde. And this is going to be my reason for not appearing at any real shindig people cook up to try and involve me with. 😅

And I like that just fine!

Yup, tis the season. These and ladybugs and box elder bugs are flocking to the sunny sides of the house here.

And the capability to actually launch them, which is probably what is missing,

And I have been present in city government meetings where it was used to try and create the fall-guy. Imagine strategizing for instead of making sure something is reasonable and effective, finding someone to take the blame for when it fails. I have seen this behavior first hand!

The hurrier you go, the hinder you get. Mistakes and errors come fast and hard these days.

And Tramp asked earlier, but probably doesn't member, "Is what I am seeing on TV different than what is happening?" 🙄 A sitting president unable to assess anything! 🤡

"What once was god, then became man, now has become mob." When everyone is a reporter, an author, an artist, blah de blah, then no one really is. Its all a cloud of noise pollution and influencer content.

Ruzzia is the ultimate example of the disingenuous conversations. You just can't enter into it, just cut it off at the start.

There was a paper about why they end up not round which always made me wonder, why not grow them in a tank to make them buoyant?

I'm personally just tired of all the outrage over something that, creatively, is inconsequential. I know who the actual authors are and they aren't going to be touched by AI. So it will just become another genre of writing. And no one is certain about energy consumption, but keep playing it out.

Glad to hear and see it!
