Last days of January. The tech bros are preaching their AI prosperity gospel 24/7.Arts becoming an escape to triviallity as artists make doomscrolling their culture.A sinking feeling that fascism being a career choice is here to stay. Spreading globally like cancer. Nothing personal,nothing private.

Anyone noticed this sort of a disease that rich people get. The mild symptoms become more intense the richer they get . The more money they have, the more offended they become when someone is getting a handout dollar they don't get. I think it's contagious.

Times flies! A new year has come. We're all witnessing the rise of artificial stupidity (following the steps of our natural one). As I take a few sips of my coffee this winter morning, let us all remember that their end goal is to take our money, our data , our privacy, and pay rent for everything.

A hill covered in snow , early in the morning.

Hello from northern Greece!

Sundays. Yet another day where everybody's feeding the plagiarism machines.

Autumn's faces

One's pain is the evening's doomscrolled gossip of another. Oh, and remember that everything is pretty much for sale.

Morning everyone. This is a reminder that right-wing and fossil fuel propaganda is alive and, in fact, thriving worldwide. Raise awareness!

In a world full of distrust , misinformation, division, we are losing an existential war due to massive media under reporting , the echo chamber effect in social media as well as all the virtue signaling back and forth between groups too blind to see the destruction of their kids' future.

9 years ago, the Paris agreement came into force with a goal to limit the median global temperature rise to below 2 degrees C, preferably to 1.5C It has been a total failure of political initiative, as not even 10 years later, it's obvious that we have (unofficially) crossed the 1.5C limit.

The Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment just published a study that shows how climate change affects excess mortality in Europe.
The results are devastating.

The study found climate change is responsible for 68% of the 24400 heat deaths this past summer across European cities

Random thought. We willingly let work take over everything that we do. And the deadliest poison for our lives are all the times we do it unwillingly.

The only artists I know who use AI in any capacity with absolutely no disclosure at all, are con artists

Hey Garry. Thank you!

I wanna start the day with some positivity today . So here's a few shots from the Greek south , a couple of weeks ago.

We are being trained to trust the invisible, all-knowing middleman. Chat GPT , Grok , Copilot , Gemini.

Exercise caution when using AI as an absolute for information validation. It's like trusting a spokesperson outside a library who can tell you anything you want,as long as it's approved by their boss.

The greater the distance between you and the information,the easier it's manipulated or distorted

Elon doesn't miss a chance. I'm reading that he took part in the far right rally in London. It seems the far right rallies in Germany half a year ago weren't enough for him . He called for the dissolution of the parliament. I guess he's gonna keep popping up in far right gatherings like a superhero

Oh absolutely.

A beautiful sunny Sunday morning where Greece is producing over 80% of its power from renewable sources. Cleaner air to breathe and cheaper electricity prices for everyone! If Greece can do it , imagine what the rest of the world can. This is a reminder that fossil fuels are a dead end.

Europe is decarbonizing and heavily investing in renewable energy , while USA is actively backpedaling. Europe has stricter emissions regulations , you actually breathe cleaner air . Same goes with food additives etc .

I respectfully disagree. Both the health and educational systems of most EU Members are untouchable by the predominantly for profit American systems . Europe offers way tighter regulation on how personal data are used by data brokers. Europe has way stricter consumer protections

Not that Europe doesn't have its major issues, but im quite positive America has gone completely insane. I just read that Fox News advocated killing the homeless??!! Is this a videogame? what?

Saturdays

It's terryfing how many people in power are actually incredibly stupid. Remember, people in power amplify division to gain more money. It seems it has become a law of the universe.

I don't know who, but apparently, someone in the EU parliament asked for a minute's silence to remember Charlie Kirk . Of course, it was denied. Good . Why the hell would EU parliament members honor in any way a right-wing influencer ?

Videoart. The capacity to experience . In the dead silence. In complete darkness. The observer . You .

I will not attempt to hypothesize or draw any conclusions of the intentions of who shot him . But this guy didn't just have opinions. He was a talented speaker and used his smarts ,as well as every logical trick and fallacy in the book, to promote division. His playbook is very common.

What happened to this guy reminded me of these two concepts from ancient Greek myth . Hubris and nemesis.

So , a young guy who built a career on bigotry, racism, division , anger,a man who publicly stated that certain groups of people should be stoned , that women are not owners of their bodily functions, and that collaterals are OK as long as people keep their guns , was killed by someone with a gun
