Fun fact in etymology, the word bully was once a male term of endearment

When I interact with Chatgpt I often imagine I'm interacting with the ghosts of previous humans thoughts, only rearranged to fit my current needs. Now we can and should argue the ethics around whether they knew the thoughts they exposed through writing would be used this way. But...

Definitely a disconnect. In tech spheres (which I'm a part of at times for work) it's as anything that seems techy and advanced simply must also be good. I agree with you, we don't focus on this collective fight we all share nearly enough. We look at shiny things. Let's get our act together 🙏

Enriched dirt is maybe the most overlooked healthy ecosystem component.

I want to say many a writer I can think of has written in some way about wanting to be a worm. There's something very linear, but fleshy about them. They are known to be associated with death as, yes, they eat corpses. They also enrich dirt.

I'm confused, someone thought that worms are not animals? There is a lexical nearness between animal and mammal, so I can almost sympathize. 😂

But to be fair, with all the pills they keep us on, can we be sure we as a species have even the imagination left for technologies that could avert climate disaster. Not to go all doomer... the science we have on anti-psychotics is some of the most capitalism choked dogshit science we have

My second thought is the scenario of focusing on time in the context of face to face interaction.
One might argue that certain humans started doing this at the advent of psychoanalysis as a quasi religion.
Nothing per se wrong with a focus on "how much time do I socialize x way"

My first thought is that time is quantifiable, while meaningful engagement is qualitative.
I can understand how parents and those seeking to act from compassion (though perhaps not understanding?) might find it compelling to focus on time.

That number seems like a lot, though less when compared to what health insurers pay out each year (it's roughly ten times that).
Ten percent profit is maybe not a totally unreasonable margin for an industry?
Yet, that profit motive is so intimately tied in to what gets covered is f&cking wild.

It's depressing particularly, I think, because the faith I used to place in jokes, even mean ones.

When I've tried to watch Colbert makes joke about Trump lately, I feel very sad.
Colbert's America was supposed to be one in which the wrong people would be rendered powerless.
Seeing him have no other options but playground bully humor, matching Trump who owns that arena, is depressing.

What still disgusts me, and should, about that man, was his method of persuasion. He sought to persuade by force.
comment in response to

There was booze on his breath. He was sickly and disgusting.
Why do I even bring him up?
What was disgusting about that man wasn't that he hated Democrats in 2016, many Americans did, for various reasons. That Clinton fucked someone (or more people?) and lied about it could be one reason.

On a suburban sidewalk while campaigning, I was stopped by an elderly man who motioned for me to come close, and when I did he pulled my arm and shouted right up against my ear: "Fuck the Democrats!"
The mad glee in this elder was terrifying

In 2016, Donald Trump felt like climate change only urgent. I was dealing with health issues at the time (long story) but nevertheless campaigned for Hilary, despite not being totally enamored of her or the Clinton's generally.
