おはようございます。
本日は「今日限りで春は終わりだと思わない時でさえ、立ち去ることがたやすい花の陰であるだろうか、まして、春の最後の日である今日は、とても立ち去ることができない」という春の終わりの歌を、古今和歌集から。
夏の節分、明日は立夏です。

朝で雨は上がって曇り空、午後からは晴れるようです。
みなさま車に気をつけて、どうぞご安全に。

けふのみと春を思はぬときだにも立つことやすき花のかげかは

whose bright idea
was this new routine
we wake at 4

#DailyHaikuPrompt - bright

My winter eyes blink,
unaccustomed to the blaze
of spring's bright dazzle.

Vending machine: Thank you for your purchase.

Dawkins: Wow, you are sentient and conscious, but only in this fleeting moment, for the next time I buy fig newtons, I will meet a new unique being!

Vending machine: Have a nice day.

Dawkins: I’ll see you in Xanadu, my sweet innocent Vendra!

One thing that continues to make me sad about my redundancy is that I had just developed a new module on #Personhood. I only taught it for two years.

I did it because I felt personhood - how we define it, as individuals or communally; how we give it to some and not others; how personhood ideas shape the world we build and the world in turn our sense of self - is so core to everything. Still think this.

Maybe i can develop it into an online thing of some kind? Idk.

It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / #VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children

It’s also highly suspicious that so many of the world’s biggest countries
are trying to implement this wider #internet control at the same time.

Feels like a major push toward #authoritarianism to me.
