California is Competition "California is a garden of Eden A paradise to live in or see But..."

California's for closers. And Woody Guthrie sang about it in 1937. #california

What is Liberty Merriam Websters defines liberty as : / the enjoyment of the same social, political, or economic rights and privileges enjoyed by others in a society free of arbitrary or unreasonable limitation or interference And Jean Paul Sartre had the following to say about it I cannot make liberty my aim unless I make that of others equally my aim. - Existentialism Is a Humanism Which is to say, only by pursuing the liberty of others will you secure liberty for yourself. The Golden Rule is stated in many different ways. And I can't think of a better strategy to achieve a rewarding and successful life.

"I cannot make liberty my aim unless I make that of others equally my aim." - Jean Paul Sartre, Existentialism Is a Humanism

I really don't understand why reaching out to help others thrive is not the way.

Big Spaces are Moving It's hard to communicate in words or pictures. But big spaces will move you in unexpected ways. One example is the Roden Crater by James Turrell. It's a remarkable experience located in Flagstaff, Arizona. That will affect different people in different ways. Big dramatic spaces make people pause to consider their place within it. You've likely felt that feeling when you walked into churches with hundred-foot ceilings. Or walking into old theaters with grand ceilings and ornate walls with balconies. It's an oddly soothing and contemplative experience.

When Internet was Fun There was a day when the Internet was a collection odd, fun, and interesting web sites. By people who created them just for the fun of it. Neal.fun is a modern day example of one of those web sites. In particular, check out the Size of Life page.

No.

Such a tired point. For security reasons, that is the only way those people can get there.

It’s hard to go wrong with bread and cheese.

You can make a lot of mistakes in this world. But combining bread and cheese is not one of them.

Yea, it was a bit funny. Sorry you don’t get it.

Apparently you don’t know a joke when you see one.

So the big question: Will Apple finally listen to podcasters? Or keep tightening its grip while calling it “open”? #ApplePodcasts #Podcasting #iOS26

There is a list of things that will allow you to get an instant read of what kind of person you are dealing with. Chemtrails is on that list. “That is a pretty shocking memo,” he said. “It doesn’t get more tinfoil hat. They really believe toxins are being sprayed.” Interesting read on KFF Health News that highlights the concern of current government officials, some high-ranking, spreading this misinformation non-sense.

Day Light Savings is the best. Stop your complaining. Every day tens of thousands of people fly across 4 or more timezones and don’t miss a beat. You are fine.

Oculus by Day and Night In Brooklyn, NY is a light and sculpture referred to as 'art-chitecture' and titled Splendour. The subtle yet striking array of orbs is dynamic as light changes throughout the day. By evening, integrated lighting transforms the installation into a luminous structure that interacts with the ambient urban context. The work by Sydney-based design studio Atelier Sisu examines how light, color, and material can define spatial perception, emphasizing the changing relationship between the natural and built environments. Through its optical and structural composition, Splendour situates itself between sculpture and architecture, inviting viewers to engage with light as both material and experience.

Obama Wraps Up WTF The final WTF episode was recorded with President Barack Obama. And it is exactly the type of interview you're hoping to hear. The perfect period endpoint on what is a 16-year-long run of one of the greatest podcasters to do it. What surprised me about the interview is the sincere friendship between the two men. I won't spoil anything here other than to say it's a warm, and times funny, chat between two guys who spend a lot of time thinking deeply on the important things in life. And working to find the achievable pragmatic path in life.

The Future of Pop Music Is here. The music video below is the debut of Timbaland's AI artist, Tata Taktumi. This "artist" is completely generated by AI. How much of the music was generated by AI is unknown. But it's Timbaland, so he definitely touched each note. Many people will criticize the use of an AI artist. And judge it entirely based on this one song.
