I'm on the night train from Kolari to Helsinki, returning from a work gig. I've always wanted to take one of these trains, as most of the train is sleeper cabins. Check out mine!

Gotta love The Guardian for those quotes from Europeans on #Mamdani's win in NYC:
"Verbeek backed this with a comment he had overheard in an Oslo cafe, in which Mamdani was described as an American politician who βfinallyβ sounded normal."

An old reel to reel magnetic tape. It has a label, in Jay Lepreau's handwriting, proclaiming it to be "UNIX Original from Bell Labs v4 (see manual for fmt)"
While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973
Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition
We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

Dear Disney Leadership and [Mr. Iger/Bergman],
I'm writing to urge you to reconsider greenlighting The Hunt for Ben Solo starring Adam Driver.
There is immense enthusiasm for this story and for Adam's return to the Star Wars saga. Fans across generations have remained deeply invested in Ben Soloβs journey, and there's a genuine hunger to see his arc reach its full potential.
As the son of Princess Leia and Han Solo, Ben represents the living legacy of the Skywalker family β a lineage that has defined this franchise for nearly fifty years. A film exploring his redemption, struggle. and ultimate destiny would not only honor that legacy. but would also serve as a profound tribute to the 50th anniversary of Star Wars.
Adam Driver's performance resonated powerfully with audiences and critics alike. The Hunt for Ben Solo offers an opportunity to deliver emotional storytelling in a way that few modern films can. This story has the potential to unite fans β both longtime devotees and newer generations.
[Section to share a short, heartfelt personal connection to the franchise]
The Hunt for Ben Solo could reignite the excitement that once defined Star Wars and remind the world why these stories matter. Please consider greenlighting this movie and
#SaveTheHuntforBenSolo!

My hand holds a decorative ceramic cup above the surface of clear turquoise water, with light reflections and bubbles visible in the water. The cup is off white with carved geometric leaf-shaped patterns, with aqua color accents that match the water.
Iβm feeling refreshed, inspired by the seascape that surrounds me and ready to create this week. This is an old photo from one of those days when the Gulf is so clear, it looks like a swimming pool.
Iβll be ending the week with a workshop for #ceramics students at St. Johnβs River State College.

Man makes a perfect case for why you'll find so many narcissists at church
Thereβs a bizarre paradox in American life where some of the most shameless people claim that they are devout followers of God. You see it all the time with shady politicians and even in the pulpit, where it seems like every few months, some famous preacher is getting caught up in a scandal motivated by greed or sex.
There are also those people you meet in church who claim to be the most Godly on Sunday, but seem to forget His teachings during the week. What gives? Why is it that people who claim to be the most religious are often self-centered, arrogant narcissists? A popular TikToker who goes by Johnny and posts about politics and American culture says itβs because narcissists have a special love for religion. After all, it perfectly complements their toxic personality.
βHave you guys ever noticed that it seems like narcissists seem to love Christianity? And it's not because they're genuinely spiritual, but because it gives them everything that they want: Admiration, forgiveness, and zero accountability,β Johnny opens his video.

> #religion #psychology #christianity #narcissism #accountability
βThey wanna do whatever they want and still be seen as good. Then there's the image side of it, of course. You know, churches reward the appearance of virtue βbeing godly, family-oriented, moral. It's a stage narcissists thrive on,β Johnny continued. "They get to stand up, talk about values, saving the kids, while living the opposite in private.β
## What is a narcissist?
Narcissistic personality disorder is _a mental health condition_ where people have a grandiose sense of self-importance. They are known to excessively brag about their achievements and fantasize about success, power, beauty, intelligence, and love. They have an intense need for admiration due to their fragile self-esteem and are preoccupied with how others feel about them. People should be wary around them because they are known to take advantage of others deliberately and can fake humility to protect their sense of self-importance.
_Richard Ramos_, founder of Parents on a Mission, a faith-based organization to help at-risk youth and families, says that churches are often positioned to be exploited by narcissists. βMany religious spaces value obedience, emotional vulnerability, and moral certainty, and of course, narcissists can exploit this to elevate themselves while hiding behind righteousness,β Ramos told _Upworthy_.
## How to identify a narcissist in a religious setting
When do you know that someone in your house of worship is a narcissist? βYou need to be aware of leaders or members who constantly put themselves front and center, discourage questioning, and confuse charisma with character,β Ramos told _Upworthy_. The Parents on a Mission founder believes that when combating narcissists in a religious setting, itβs best to enlist the entire community.
βIf youβve begun to sense narcissistic patterns in your faith communityβs leadership, trust that instinct, and donβt carry the weight alone,β Ramos said. βReach out to trusted voices, whether inside or outside your faith circle. You are not being βdivisiveβ by protecting your peace. You are discerning. Set clear boundaries and remember, spiritual leadership should never shrink your soul. True faith brings freedom, not fear. Confidence, not confusion. Worth, not shame.β
