Am I the only one that realizes the entire political dynamic of the "western world" is basically trying to outrun a king?

It's weird that somewhere in China is a copy of all the users of #Grindr. I wonder what they did with all that tea?

When you have #memoryimpairment you never really know WHEN you are. You can get clues fro reality, but it's a CONSTANT fight not to call someone back from a discussion in 2015, day dream about revenge on a school bully, or relive a time when my body was much more capable. I try to hack it, but it's so subjective.
The only thing I have found that works reliably is #meditation. Without the need to recognize, match, recall, remember, imagine, regret, etc.. the mind is pretty peaceful. 🧠

So what's the deal with #vmware ? Back in the day, they were fire.

"The immigrants were attracted to Tel Aviv because they found in it all the comforts they were used to in Europe: electric light, water, a little cleanliness, cinema, opera, theatre, and also more or less advanced schools... busy streets, full restaurants, cafes open until 2 a.m., singing, music, and dancing."
tl;dr WW3 is basically the whole colonization story all over again.

Sometimes I wake up and it's 2015 and I want a cigarette. I haven't smoked or wanted one in years.
I know 3 dudes that have been swindled out of their life savings in crypto schemes. They were given a fake mobile app that showed incredible returns on the thier deposited real monies, then another ask for "taxes" to receive your profit. Gifts, commissions, referrals, etc....

I used to work in the teens clothing department at a regional department store. This was one of the 25 music videos played in an endless loop for my 8 hour shift.

It's heart breaking to see older folks at these ATM's on the phone with their scammer explaining how to pay the taxes on the millions they just won. :(

I wonder why apartment houses aren't giant batteries?

So yeah—an animal is like a free-roaming, decision-making agent. A plant is a headless, solar-powered script running infinitely in the cloud, turning ambient environment variables into solid, physical structures.

Google Gemini keeps it real.
that would be kinda reasonable if there was an environmental change.

A shopping mall would make a great remodel for memory care.
"The Knights of the Golden Circle (KGC) was a secret society founded in 1854 by American George W. L. Bickley. Its objective was initially to expand the United States into Latin America, adding slave states and ensuring the permanent continuance of slavery. "
tl;dr The next few years are going to be bonkers.

"40-Year-Old Woman Gets Prison Sentence" savage headline.

seeing all these ad for the Samsung Galaxy whatever makes me not want it.
I kinda see the immigrants leaving service jobs and disabled/lgbtq/elderly are in more visible positions. I wonder if this is real, or just my perception.

It kinda feels like the epstein class is trying to #retcon how bad racists have been treated in the past.

"Trump became angry when he discovered the cost, stating, "It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!" and ordered his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, not to pay the cost."

I want to create a dweb static blog. What platform should I use? IPFS and Freenet seem like good choices.

"Exclusion from the vast region of Trans-Appalachia created discontent between Britain and colonial land speculators and potential settlers. The proclamation and access to western lands was one of the first significant areas of dispute between Britain and the Thirteen Colonies and became a contributing factor leading to the American Revolution."
tl;dr It kinda seems like America was kinda a #richdudemoneyscheme
