Just an odd girl. Food, Travel, Fitness, and good people. I have a deep passion for ancient and obscure history and how it applies to today’s issues in society.

Tomorrow (Friday) the last day to make an official stand against a fuckwit billionaire filling the sky with hundreds of thousands of AI datacenters and destroying the ozone layer.

I made an app.

Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.

I hope it's useful for someone.

The app is now open source (AGPL-3.0), the app is free and rather simple

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making. F-Droid is an option, will have to look into that

Interior to Sell Off Millions of Acres of Public Lands in Alaska

The Trump Administration has begun the great public lands sell off in earnest.

More Than Just Parks
So, Proton released Lumo. They are calling it AI that respects your privacy. Not sure how I feel about this. I generally do not like to call LLMs intelligent and I don’t want an LLM as a feature in a company that focuses on privacy. I would love the opinions of those of you who understand this better than I do.

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

— Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

The climatologists say
if you look
the signs of change
are everywhere.

The epidemiologists say
if you look
the signs of the pandemic
are everywhere.

The political scientists say
if you look
the signs of breakdown
are everywhere.

But people say
they’d rather not look.

Sniper teams, National Guard & US Marines, sweeping the swing-set filled park in LA. They came for a firefight. Armed to the teeth as if was Baghdad at the height of the Gulf War. They brought those guns to use against their own people. This is only getting started. The militarization of America.

Taxes paid in 2024 by:

Tesla - $0
GE - $0
Facebook - $0
FedEx - $0
Nike - $0
T- Mobile - $0
Merck - $0
Johnson & Johnson - $0
Pfizer - $0

Undocumented Immigrants - $96.7 billion

They came for illegal immigrants
They came for immigrants
They came for those who spoke out
They are now coming for naturalized citizens
Soon they will come for trans and intersex people
Then more brown skinned people
Then black Americans
Then they will come for anyone who doesn’t immediately fall in line

Keep your heads up, and don’t stop being you. 4/
