When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Can you imagine, with the genocides, apartheid, illegal wars, the global economy collapsing, illegal concentration camps, masked terrorists working for governments in Israel and the US - and the scariest thing you've ever seen is 5% conditional taxes on multi-million dollars real estate hoarding.

If I want Americans to take one lesson from Hungary it’s this: you can win even IF the system is rigged against you. Fascism is so fundamentally weak that it can be beaten with even limited democracy.

“The reason why the Artemis mission has everyone so fascinated is because it is a showcase for the efforts of people who are very, very good at their jobs, at a time when the news cycle is dominated by people who are not merely terrible at their jobs, but awful human beings as well.”

This is also why sexism and racism can be harnessed for this form of “populist” politics.

"Light Fossils" dinosaur light painting by artist Darren Pearson, known as Darius Twin, using a unique photography technique.

The artwork is created using long-exposure photography, where the camera shutter remains open while the artist moves handheld lights to "draw" the figures in real-time.

On the IMAX baby, cant wait.

Keep a sketchbook. Make it a regular practice to draw in it. It is the most valuable practice of all and a massive source for inspiration when you want to make a finished painting. Your whole soul is in there.

You’ve got less than three hours. Go.

Eesh! That explains things. 💩

Is it me or has iOS autocomplete become complete garbage over time?

And people wonder why I say the NYT has taken a hard right turn.

Won this little buddy from a claw game. Very, very pleased.

Even in a world where LLM never existed this is solid mentoring

The British Museum image shows a painted scene of a lion and a gazelle playing a board game, probably senet. They are seated on low stools, facing each other, across a low table on which a board game with black playing pieces is laid out. It is probably the popular ancient Egyptian board game senet. The gazelle sits on the left of the table facing the lion on the right. The animals are seated on their haunches, sitting upright, legs hanging down from the chair seat, and their forelegs raised, being used as arms. Each animal holds a game piece with their hoof and paw respectively. The gazelle is painted brown within a black outline. It has black hooves, two long, black, s-shaped curved horns, and a black dot for its eye. It has long pointed ears at the back of its head. The lion is painted a sandy brown within a black outline. It has a darker-brown shaggy mane and a black nose and eye. It’s mouth is ajar as if speaking. Detail from an ancient Egyptian illustrated papyrus from Deir el-Medina

And here’s why this goes beyond the Gulf. If this stands, it’s a template. Any industry can now claim national security to erase species protections anywhere in the country.

Japanese soufflé pancakes topped with pistachios, cream, pastry, cherry blossoms and strawberries

Even more disgusting:

A plate of 3 Japanese soufflé pancakes with a hearty dab of whipped cream topped with some mint leaves, with fresh strawberries and jam on a white plate .

Just putting this here so I can look at it later.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
