"The greatest danger is not the enemy at the gates, but the traitor who smiles within the walls."
The earth slowly spins faster and faster. That must mean we weigh less on the surface of the earth as it accelerates, due to centrifugal forces. That must mean eventually we will be weightless, and float off into space.
But before we go, lighter things will be lost - pebbles, hamsters, and smaller kangaroos. Eventually only birds and trees will live on this planet.
And humans who stay indoors and have adapted to a life on the ceiling.

Childhood - this poem is a nostalgic reflection on the raw wonder of childhood, where nature spoke louder than people, and silence taught more than words. Through water crystals, tiger stares, and dancing grass, it explores the deep wisdom children carry untouched by judgment, yet rich with truth.
For every dreamer, misfit, and quiet soul, this one's for you.

Sometimes I wonder if cats really do ask for Meow Mix by name, or whether they're just being...well, you know, like, cats.

Always be careful when looking for your real friends, because salt and sugar look the same.
Hope: pure faith without truth.
Realization: pure truth without faith.
For centuries, mankind has walked the line between the two. But what if they argued to be chosen as humanity’s guide?
Who serves mankind better?
Who would you choose?
Hope or Realization?

so when someone crashes out after falling emotionally bonding with an AI, what do we call it?
AGI depression? AI psycosis? LLM flu?
It's like #Hyperreality in real life.
What the herd hates most...Thinking differently isn't just unpopular — it's threatening. Schopenhauer said it, and it still hits hard.
Be the one who dares to think. Even if you're the only one.

Pluto Neptune and Uranus are in Trine
Pluto, Neptune, Uranus Trine.
The transformative power of disillusion breakthroughs. If your coming to terms that something is not as good as you believed it to be. It's time to update/innovate our thoughts. Saturn's applying energy to Neptune brings practical ideas to turn into action. #horoscope #astrology #deepthoughts
One thing wives like is to be tricked.
For instance, I was going to take my wife to the south of France, but instead I drove her to an old burned-out warehouse.
“Oh, no,” I said. “Marseille burned down.”
She cried and cried, but I think that deep down, she thought it was a pretty good joke.
I started to drive over to the real Marseille, but it ACTUALLY DID BURN DOWN.

"Realize" is a funny word; as if a thing only exists after you've perceived it.
People say things like "enjoy the rest of *your* day" as if you have a different day than them, or "have *a* nice day" as if there is more than one day you could have.
We are all on the same rotating planet, chained to the same arrow of causality; we all experience the same inevitable day.
Enjoy *this* day!
I think I'm old enough and wise enough to admit that maybe I just don't like #Artichokes.
Definitely don't like preparing them.
Pretty sure I rarely like eating them, which sometimes feels like just as much as work as preparing them.
Simmered for a long time in something that renders them near undetectable? Sure, fine.
Otherwise -- I think I'll just skip them.
