This is treason.

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

Jupiter got zero riffs.

I feel joyful seeing these five playing together again! youtu.be/2IPT60hvGw4?...

No farms, no food.

What is TikTok? Why’s everyone posting about it? Why’s the incoming President of the United States have anything to do with it? Not that I’m old, I’ve just got better things to do with my mind. Oh, wait! I am old and wasting time posting on social media right now. What has this world come to?!

Replit AI agent is crazy. Not only does it write the code for you, it sets up the whole code pipeline, development environment, databases, etc. youtu.be/IYiVPrxY8-Y?...

The Celt says: “It is impossible to do good for another without doing good for oneself.”

It’s basic science.

Gandalf: “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas! Wir haben Rouladen und Rotkohl

The Celt says, “Words have a magical power. They can raise up the spirits or dash them down. They can bring laughter as easily as tears. Spend words like a miser counting coins. Make each word count.”

The Celtic civilization once spanned Europe and millennia. They believed in the spoken word as the most trusted medium to transfer knowledge. The quality of the person conveyed the quality of the words. We’ve lost that today. Everything is recorded and any viral idiot can become president.

There is room in my heart for all who I meet and yet a person full of spite cannot enter.
