Routines Of Their Lives

Though Icarus climbs to the mountain top
to ask Tiresias the meaning of life
he finds the ruined Temple of Apollo
where Sibylla lounges on tattered couch,
watching television in cave of dreams
while eating pizza with Grendel and Thor.

#JWST snaps first chemical profile of an #exoplanet
#NASA said #JamesWebb #telescope picked up more CO2, as well as carbon monoxide, sodium, potassium and water. Next, it may look at rockier worlds, like #TRAPPIST1– several of which sit in #habitablezone

From @pluralistic:
"Earlier this year, many people with Argus optical implants – which allow blind people to see – lost their vision when the manufacturer, Second Sight, went bust.
"Nano Precision Medical, the company's new owners, aren't interested in maintaining the implants, so that's the end of the road for everyone with one of Argus's 'bionic' eyes. The $150,000 per eye that those people paid is gone, and they have failing hardware permanently wired into their nervous systems.
"Having a bricked eye implant doesn't just rob you of your sight – many Argus users experience crippling vertigo and other side effects of nonfunctional implants. The company has promised to 'do our best to provide virtual support' to people whose Argus implants fail – but no more parts and no more patches."

Do any of you use a non-apple brand of smart watch?
Do any of them have watch faces that display the time:
24 hour analog "slow time" there is only one hand and it moves 360 degrees in 24 hours.
Non-linear analog the angle traversed by hours is wider during the middle of the day and more narrow at night.
Some kind of watch calendar mash up?
What is the best time display out there right now?

Anarchism, to me, means not only the denial of authority, not only a new economy, but a revision of the principles of morality. It means the development of the individual as well as the assertion of the individual. It means self-responsibility, and not leader worship.

Writer Katherine "Kit" Kerr has not had an easy time, the past 12 years. Her beloved husband died. . .slowly. Money for house repairs went to his care.
She's been without an oven two years. One of her old friends thought maybe we could do something about it. It's a small thing, but will help our 77 year old friend a great deal.
Boosts are also a great help! #GoFundMe

Most CEOs would be fired for even responding to a tweet by a insurrectionist clown like Fitton. But here's Musk, busy being wrong about everything and throwing slumber parties at the website he was forced to buy as his company loses close to 2/3 of its value.
RT @elonmusk@twitter.com
@TomFitton@twitter.com SBF was a major Dem donor, so no investigation
Article on Twitter, Elon, and abuse dynamics
Based on a thread originally posted here, I wrote an article for Medium about why #Elon Musk's behavior matches the profile of coercive control #abuse, why it's harmful to speculate on his #MentalHealth, and how to care for yourself if you're experiencing a #trauma response to his #Twitter takeover and assaults on marginalized communities.
If you're a #survivor, you know what I'm talking about.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.
Degrees in Philosophy and Computer Science, once had a US TS/SCI(redacted) clearance, radical-for-the-US politics, ex-Libertarian, zen-buddhist-pantheist-atheist.
Google employee, but I do not speak for Google in any way.
If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
