These chatbots are like an amulet cursed by dark magic. It grants the wearer an apparent intelligence boost, at the cost of stealing their soul over time and binding them to the object. After extensive use, taking the amulet off incapacitates the person. They can't live without it.

@faithisleaping @malcircuit I wish I could believe that it will eventually be proven to be bad. I'm afraid it's going to become a subliminal part of society and stick with us forever. Technologies have a tendency to do that no matter how harmful they are.

Broadcasting brought us manufactured consent.
Cable brought us cognitive overwhelm.
Social media brought psyops to the individual.

I'm afraid AI be around forever and destroy conceptual diversity.

What Happens When a Bad-Tempered, Distractible Doofus Runs an Empire?

Miranda Carter draws comparisons between President Donald Trump and Kaiser Wilhelm II, whose touchiness, unpredictability, and narcissism helped precipitate the fall of the German Empire.

Trump calls voting by mail ‘cheating’ just days after voting by mail

President called practice ‘mail-in cheating’ at Monday event after voting in Florida House race via mail

The Guardian

"According to the Financial Times, traders placed about $580 million in oil futures bets roughly 15 minutes before a social media post by Donald Trump about Iran talks, which later caused oil prices to drop sharply."

NEWS: Americans Furious Over TSA Shutdown, Republican Senator Admits it is Trump's Fault, Major Potential Market Manipulation Over Iran

Good evening.

The Parnas Perspective

Exempting women from voting isn't a gift, it’s a gag order wrapped up in a bow.

Framing disenfranchisement as "freedom from worry" is just a polite way of saying you want women silent and powerless.

I am 82 years old.
I have lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination, the Vietnam War, the Turmoil of 1968, Watergate, the Hostage Crisis, two oil crisis, disco, Reaganomics, 9/11.
The covid pandemic....
These past 11 months have been easily the most miserable era in America in my lifetime.
The hatred, the bigotry, the lies, the racketeering and pedophilia are beyond anything I have ever seen.
We are not going to hell as a nation.
We are IN hell.

More of this, please...!

The First #RepairCafé in #BosniaAndHerzegovina

12 March 2026

"The first Repair Café has opened in #Bosnia and #Herzegovina! Anida and Nerman, the initiators of #RepairCaféMostar, are giving this region a sustainable boost. 'We want to remove the barriers caused by fear and a lack of resources,' they said.

"Around Christmas last year, we received the happy news that we could welcome Repair Café Mostar: the first Repair Café in the #WesternBalkans. Anida Čmanjčanin and Nerman Turkić, the initiators, enthusiastically report on the grand opening and their intentions for the future.

Tradition and innovation go hand in hand!

"Thanks to support from the Federal Ministry of Education and Science and Repair Café International, the initiative kicked off with a festive launch. A workshop marathon attracted over 45 participants, including primary and secondary school pupils, as well as university students. Under the guidance of local experts, they learned various repair skills. These included #BicycleMaintenance, repairing #HouseholdAppliances, #textile #upcycling and #3DPrinting to replace broken plastic parts."

Imagine the strength of the free world, if the American people had elected a president who joined the European alliance and sent marines to take Crimea in Ukraine instead of Kharg Island in Iran.
