Well, that was interesting. Maybe unexpected is a better way of saying it. Do you have profound moments in your life? I remember thinking about this when I was a teenager. I started smoking. I really don’t know why I started smoking except I felt a pull to do it because it was a part…
It’s Tuesday morning just before noon in Belarus so I am a little preemptive here. A glance at the poles shows that things are going to be tight but that Harris is going to be the winner. You never can tell. You never can’t tell the level of honest excitement and you never can tell…
The whole of this saga has been cataloged in my journal. I suppose that’s another something I could collect into a singular story. It seems to be odd though to do that because often the writing that happened around the cat stories was of interest or connection. It’s hard to say what’s right or wrong…
I just want to talk about a piece of writing that really was important to me. This is the two stories of Hillel the scribe. In the first episodes, he and his friend Phaedrus The apothecary would gather in the apothecary’s tent to smoke over the days events. Neither of them was pleased with how…
Two interesting videos showed up in my YouTube algorithm and I thought I would share these. The first is my man earthling Ed who has been practicing his rhetoric for years now. He simply walks the AI through the logic and by the time he’s done, our logical super robot is indeed agreeing that a…
It’s hard to express disappointment such as I feel. There are plenty of pretty miserable things to complain about over the last few years of my life. Let’s say the entire presidency. And now we are coming up on another group of elections and again we have to sit through these painful demonstrations of exactly…
In a self-funded, completely independent study of a small group of people, I found I liked fucking very much. I want to be clear that I am new to this game. The boy who was generous enough to donate his time and energy to the project agreed that fucking was a very pleasurable way to…
Forget about modern Life. Let’s just say we go camping and we are next to a river that’s running very quickly. You can smell the water and see a lot of life I suppose. Or maybe it’s in the mountains and it’s very very cold. Take a little drink. I bet it’s really good. Not…
I still have not watched the entire thing but I have watched this podcast enough to believe it’s worthy of discussion here. Why it is worthy of discussion is interesting. The point of view that one should take when discussing someone who is literally, an icon to a great percentage of the society. In India…
Here is a collection of stories from this last week. From Ecopolitic.com.ua In Germany, ecoactivists stopped the work of the largest airports for two days in a row To me one of the greatest public choices that need to be made is to what length we agree that people can vote. What these people are…
To get the picture out of the way, I don’t know what this is except when I put a query up to get a cover photo of Kamala Harris sexy. This was photo number one. If it’s a series of fakes, and I do believe it is, that’s okay. They are gender appropriate and they…
If mulch is all you need and grass has sufficient everything, let’s do it. So we take down all of the plants that have grown tall with us that are not particularly our food and we put them on top of the gardens as soil amendment. We can let them dry for a few days….
Welcome to our coverage of this year’s longest day celebration. The time according to the internet is 11:50 p.m. just before midnight. It seems a strange time to celebrate the Sun but that’s exactly what we are going to do. This being said, this is a fertility festival for without the Sun, we do not…
I have been a dedicated bicyclist for a very long time. They didn’t have blogs around when I quit my car or maybe I would have done a whole series about it. It was a pretty easy decision. If I made a list of all of the things it did that were good and all…
From Chabad.org: Behar in a Nutshell. Leviticus 25:1–26:2 The name of the Parshah, “Behar,” means “on Mount [Sinai]” and it is found in Leviticus 25:1. On the mountain of Sinai, G‑d communicates to Moses the laws of the Sabbatical year: every seventh year, all work on the land should cease, and its produce becomes free…
Vlad Putin on Greta. It is not that he doesn’t respect young people or ideas of sustainability, it is just that the world is too complex to be understood by little girls. And of course, there is the cost of things. This is the essence of what bureaucratic double talk tends to be. I could…
Let’s start with a simple question posed to Google. What impact does war have on global warming? This from svet.charita.cz How does the military sector contribute to climate change? Militaries consume enormous amounts of fossil fuels, which have a high carbon footprint. The global military carbon footprint is the fourth highest, ranking behind the US,…
Headlines are everywhere. Processed meat causes cancer. Meat is not healthy for you. The New York Times has no problem telling us about this. The evidence is quite convincing that regular consumption of processed meats is detrimental to health, including colorectal cancer, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease,” said Dr. Frank Hu, a professor of…
I went searching for the state of the art for the eco activist. You have to give credit to these people. To think that wanting to breathe fresh air and to stop the damage caused by completely unnecessary economic activity has become criminal and scornful seems crazy. It’s like getting a nice bowl of soup…
There are a lot of videos out there about people who wish to have mobile homes but don’t really have the money for fully constructed mobile homes. If we don’t understand what I’m talking about, Winnebago’s. These are these giant trucks that have kitchens and toilets and showers and beds and everything you need to…
Originally published October 13, 2023 I’m just doing some random mental architecture here. I am on the balcony of my old apartment in town and I am looking down at the sea of automobiles in the yard below. And what I tried to get straight in my head was what would happen if they declared…
