I have been recently thinking about Denethor II in the LOTR movie. "So goes Denethor, son of Ecthelion".

After gazing into the future through Palantir, Denethor becomes convinced that there is no hope for the humankind.

Present events offer a distinct possibility to despair because of wars, climate change, and loss of biodiversity.

I will quote the LOTR movie again: "I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me".

All is not lost.

It’s not that love is stronger than despair; love is stronger than hope. “Love wins, ” yes, but put quotes around it to show its great big fangs.

I don't think there is any subject more eternally frustrating than that of #beauty, #attractiveness, and #desire. I mean this in terms of #sexuality and #affection, not general #aesthetics.

Why do we desire who we desire? Is there a way to be truly free of desire? Should we even try to be free of desire? How can we cope with unfulfilled or unrequited desire and the #loneliness and #despair that results from it?

Trump threatens attacks on Iran’s power plants over opening Strait of Hormuz

President Donald Trump on Saturday says the U.S. will “obliterate” Iranian power plants if it doesn’t fully open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. Trump issued the ultimatum in a social media post while he spent the weekend in Florida. He says he’s giving Iran exactly 48 hours to open the vital waterway or face a new round of attacks. He says the U.S. would destroy “various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!” Trump faces increasing pressure to secure the strait as oil prices soar. Iran says any strike on its energy facilities would prompt attacks on U.S. and Israeli energy and infrastructure assets in the region.

I just saw this picture presenting why the larger your organization is, the more difficult it is to add AI to your data processing development.

Many of us must experience the same despair when we are told to provide users with AI.

"I just came back for tonight / With flames in my eyes / To take the final match / And burn your ivory tower down"

The song "Das Letzte Streichholz" ("The Final Match") by Oomph! is about a deeply hurt narrator reflecting on her ruined childhood and the emotional neglect she experienced from her parents. Symbolic images such as the lovingly kissed and then broken toy represent the loss of innocence and security. The "cold bedroom" and the secret act with the "final match" convey an atmosphere of emotional coldness and inner darkness. The direct accusation to the mother ("Warum hast du mir nie geholfen?" / "Why did you never help me?") shows that the narrator felt abandoned as a child. The match becomes a symbol of the last spark of agency, a way to express pent-up pain and suppressed anger.

As the song continues, this anger intensifies into a radical, almost apocalyptic fantasy of revenge. The narrator wants her parents to experience the same pain and hell that she endured. Rituals such as cooking the last meal and then vomiting reflect inner disgust, self-hatred, and abhorrence of her own past. The repeated message "Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist" ("So that you know what it is like") indicates that her goal is not only destruction but forcing her parents to understand her suffering. In the end, there is a final separation from her parents, and the repeated "Never again" symbolizes a determined break from the past and an act of self-assertion after enduring pain.
