Together: A Manifesto Against A Heartless World Ece Temelkuran

"Enough counting the morbid symptoms; the birth of the new world is overdue. Yet, for the last push, we need to conceive of a strong new heart to deliver the future of humanity."

Meet Kernza, the grain of the future

Jonathan Fowler from UNRWA: "The weather conditions are horrific.. not enough supplies are being allowed in.. we remain banned by the Israeli authorities from bringing anything into the Gaza strip"

Two more babies have died from exposure in Gaza.

This is the desert of the real. The Wachowskis called it. But like Bernie says, no one wants this. Folks are organizing in amazing ways.

To beat the hate that is threatening to overcome us, we should be brave enough to talk about love in politics and this time without a smirk.

Soon we will be like the old Albania.

Damn. With all the deleted posts, we’re going to need screengrabs with every repost! 😣

Bell Fountain Retreat Wandering a cemetery to dodge ghosts in the machine.

With AI there can be no soul searching because there is no soul. There are no questions, only inputs and prompts. There is not even the possibility of being paralyzed by the minutiae of life, because there is No Life. The dead of Bellefontaine are infinitely more alive than AI will ever be.

Through her feet
I take her socks off
So she can sleep

Perfect!

Instead of soothing our jangled nerves with unbridled consumerism, we can turn to the original point of gift-giving: caring for others and community-building.

Well said! And as @gerdub.bsky.social posted:

“The great souls have lit the path through the wilderness. We need merely open our eyes and follow.”

Of course “follow” here should be read as follow suit, or be inspired by.
Instead of celebrating vacuous celebrities, we need to honor wisdom.

I feel hope from reading Gandhi’s autobiography and learning of his travails in South Africa. Now I am getting to the part where he discusses satyagraha. The great souls have lit the path through the wilderness. We need merely open our eyes and follow.

#Gandhi #satyagraha #peace

We’ve gone from artificial scarcity to bullshit abundance.

The difference between regenerative abundance and bullshit abundance:

This. Just think about the enormous amount of input LLMs need to behave as if they had "learnt" a language, whereas how babies learn a language out of a very limited set of training data (at most, hundreds of sentences a day, for about one year).

The switch i used to beat you with produces oils which can be applied as ointment on your wounds.

Thank you for this in-depth preview of the gutting of our vaccination programs. It’s hard to follow the rational of sociopaths, but given their longterm goal of eliminating half the global population, there does seem to be method to their madness. (See the ravings of Curtis Yarvin for eg)

Danesplaining is deadly:

“To be clear, Høeg supports policies that will injure and kill children.”

The fact that this needs to said (for what feels like forever), shows the level of brainwashing suffered in Amerikuh!?

Small plug-in solar panels gain traction as an affordable way to cut electricity bills For years, solar power at home was mostly limited to people who owned their rooftops and could afford the steep upfront costs. But now, a new generation of small, affordable systems — often called “pl...

Nothing like shouting to the world, I’m a POS and living proof of Dunning-Krueger.

Just yesterday I was speculating that this was the case, while chatting with a neighbor.

I think it’s time we started calling it what it is: a regime. It’s certainly not “administration” they’re doing.
Regime also chimes with change.

Ah yes, how can we forget the ignoble arc of the Flash in the pan that would never die?
Maybe AI is the new Flash!?

Distilled wisdom from @anildash.com who is always a good read (been on my radar for about 2 decades).

Concise and spot-on.

“Hegseth’s use of the non-secure messaging app Signal”

It’s a minor nit, but we should be clear that Signal is a secure app. Hegseth’s *sloppy use* of it was the problem.

Further, the reason they like using it is because it allows the record to be automatically erased.

If you're a government, government official, large organization, large business, I don't feel sorry for whatever comes your way on Twitter. Why are you still there in the first place?

🎥 At the Doha Forum 2025, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese drew a direct line between South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle and Palestine today.

“If you go to South Africa, you realize that Nelson Mandela couldn’t have been born in any other country,” she said, pointing to a strength of...
