Sounds like there was a list after all 🙃. 29 sounds like a rather small number for a total but still. Let's start a war with Iran that Israel has been pushing for since forever, it will help distract the plebs from the Israeli-run pedo ring.

David Gilmour's 'Live in Pompeii' is my favourite concert ever. Wish I was there... when it took place :) Absolutely awesome music in a magical setting.

"Under our current system the easiest way to set yourself on a trajectory from millionaire to billionaire to trillionaire is to exploit workers, crush your competition, plunder the available resources of the global south, externalize the costs of industry onto society and the ecosystem, bribe the government to advance your corporate interests via lobbying and campaign donations, contract with the most murderous military and intelligence agencies in the world, and psychologically manipulate the public into consuming products and services they don’t need."

According to Alter AI, "Greenland is one of the most resource-rich — yet underdeveloped — territories on Earth." It's strategic value in a world with depleting resources is huge and now the US is poised to take it. They failed to damage Russia in any significant way through their Ukraine operation, but they did destroy Russia / EU ties and all potential for joint defense of that island. Now they will capitalize on that. Western Europe is little more than a museum of past greatness and like the Louvre, it is going to get robbed.

I am no fan of police killing people, but misrepresented data really bugs me. These absolute figures ignore population size differences, which in the case of Australia is about 13 times lower. It also ignores the working conditions for policemen. The number of policemen killed by the public across those countries shows a similar pattern. People killed by police per 1mln citizens: US - 31, Can - 7, Aus - 4, UK - 0.4 Police killed by public per 1mln policemen: US - 740, Can - 360, Aus - 150, UK - 100 All of the above is completely blown out of the water by the number of people the US has killed abroad in it's forever wars. I guess the US is just a lot more relaxed about murder than other places? View quoted note →

Sitting for more than 8 hours a day is very bad for you, but if you drink coffee it's much less bad.

Study Finds Coffee May “Cancel Out” the Mortality Risks of Sitting for Long Hours Each Day

"Every normal person will tell you they want peace and abhor mass-scale violence. Then the mass media start doing what they always do and churning out stories about atrocities in an empire-targeted nation, and all of a sudden people find themselves supporting airstrikes on that nation’s capital, and believing they came to that position all on their own. This happens because most people are unaware that the western news media do not exist to report the news. They exist to administer propaganda on behalf of the western empire."

Seems very sus to me that a privacy-focused AI is designed to require Face ID or similar biometric authentication. No thank you. Make it optional please, there is nothing wrong with good old private keys. View quoted note →

"Of course there are people in Iran who want their government gone. There are also people in Iran who want their government to stay. That’s normal. That’s how humans work. But whenever there’s a regime change intervention to manufacture consent for we’re asked to believe the people have stopped acting like humans and are now operating more like robots, or ants in an ant colony."

"Don't marry suffering". Pretty good blog post, yet I took out of it something other than the author's main point.

Why We Avoid Looking at the True Source of Our Problems

"People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls."

I increasingly like Buddhism. "The seduction of luxury and leisure overwhelm the aspiration to wake up. Think of all the time, money and energy some people spend on pleasure and on fulfilling sense desires. The finest food, the perfect couch, the best car, the ultimate hot tub, the ideal island vacation. They wrap their lives in material objects, creating a facade of false security and satisfaction, and all the while they are setting themselves up to be devastated by life's inevitable fluctuations, and they remain unprepared for changing financial or social status, losing loved ones, growing old, failing health and dying."
