I think about this a lot.

The final words from the anarchist collective CRASS on the importance of caring for yourself as an act of defiant rebellion.

@vmbrasseur I found this article pretty interesting and not bad until I read:

Though Pythagoras did not come up with the theory,

at which point I realised the writer was either having a bad day, half asleep, or a bit of a dolt. I mean the very beauty of such fundamental truths is that many people can and did and will in fact come up with them, themselves. This comment reflects a lamentable human delusion that a discovery can only be made by one person.

I mean in future not many people will be discovering the Pythagorean theorem as it's so basic it's taught early in our education stream, so would require a smart kid in a country/region without education playing around with drawing and thinking to discover it anew. But in the past, many civilisations had no effective communications between them and would have discovered this basic geometric relation independently.

Around this time every year, innocent kids are told a disgusting lie.

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

There’s a Ukrainian Christmas carol you hear every year without knowing it.

‘Shchedryk’, known in the US as ‘Carol of the Bells’, is deeply personal to Maria, who began learning Ukrainian by reading its lyrics...

“we’ve learned that a single AI generated image uses as much electricity as charging a cell phone”

And that is why I do not consider AI Art, Art. It takes far more from the world than it gives us. You are hastening the destruction of this already dying planet.

You can @ me but I simply do not care

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.

- Hunter S. Thompson
