I live in Bergen, Norway, and ever since I moved into my own apartment in October 2024, I’ve become increasingly aware of how little I’m exposed to advertising and propaganda. Being anti-TV and anti-radio has allowed me to distance myself from much of the constant messaging that seems to dominate modern life over here. Without these things playing in the background, I’ve come to appreciate the peace and quiet that comes with choosing what I allow into my mind.
As you could probably guess from how much I love spending time in nature and meditating, I’m drawn to a slower, more intentional way of living. I find comfort in silence, in being present, and in connecting with the world around me rather than constantly consuming information and entertainment. Nature and meditation offer me something that modern technology often seems to take away, the sense of stillness, clarity, and genuine connection with myself.
Sometimes, I genuinely struggle to understand how most people manage to keep up with all the noise of modern life. Between television, radio, advertisements, social media, and the endless stream of digital distractions, it feels as though there is very little room left for silence or independent thought. I find it exhausting just thinking about it.
Perhaps I’ve simply grown accustomed to a quieter existence, but I can’t help wondering why so many people accept this constant overstimulation as the new normal. Honestly, the whole thing makes me want to retreat even further into nature and enjoy the peace of being disconnected. Urgh.

Based on reports from various sources and news outlets, as well as images released over the past week, it appears that the United States has deployed a full battery of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile system at its Fifth Fleet naval base in Bahrain. This configuration includes an AN/TPY-2 early-warning and tracking radar, six to eight eight-cell launchers—with a total capacity of 48 to 64 interceptor missiles—along with an additional 128 interceptor missiles.

The Israel lobby is at it again. The Israel-supporting council in Barnet UK, long an epicentre of the antisemitism scam, has approved a motion declaring anti-Zionism to be antisemitism. The motion targets the Green party’s landmark declaration that Zionism is racism.

Well our dry season is over, rain is setting for good tomorrow. Time to cover these wooden sculptures in my garden. They're sealed with an oil based finish that has UV protection and anti-fungal ingredients but our climate in the #pnw is hard on wood. So I cover them with garbage bags for the winter. Needs to be done after a spate of dry days like we had this week, so it doesn't trap moisture under the plastic. #sculpture #Gardening #fall

Earlier this year, Republicans in the Kansas Legislature overrode a veto from Gov. Laura Kelly (D), to pass a draconian anti-trans bill into law.
All of the members of the Kansas Legislature who voted to overturn Kelly's veto were Republicans.
The law prevents transgender people from obtaining identity documents that reflect their gender identity, and makes it illegal for transgender people to use certain restrooms and locker rooms in government buildings.

China, Russia and the Trump administration are now all openly aligned against Ukraine and democractic countries everywhere. Want to help Russia? Just buy a Tesla, a Chinese EV or vote for a Republican Trump enabler. I sent a donation to an anti-musk/trump senate candidate in Texas this past Sunday. To support Ukraine we in the US need to defeat Republicans. #Ukraine #JamesTalarico

OpenAI's updated election safeguards now cartoonify images of voter suppression to cut their evidentiary value. Testing shows the friction is thin: ChatGPT complied when asked to make the cartoon photorealistic, while Google Gemini refused outright. A Brennan Centre report found OpenAI improved, but Gemini and Meta AI make fakes easier. https://gizmodo.com/chatgpts-election-related-anti-deepfake-measures-are-intriguing-but-incomplete-2000831002 #AIethics #AI #GenAI #AIsafety

Vampirella no. 89 (August 1980)
Like most Vampirella covers, it's one step away from being full-on porn, but you have to admire the interplay of the two lighting sources, the contouring, the appreciation for form.
Why does the text say the anti-pope is conjuring up the demons? Clearly she's doing that herself.

“Gladwell ignores the social costs of police, including what mass surveillance and militarized police do to the possibility of democracy and how police use their organized political power to block the social investments that actually increase safety and security for ordinary non-wealthy people. He therefore obscures the longer causal chain in which policing as we know it increases violence and makes people less safe. Indeed, coordinated and intentional police surveillance, infiltration, and violence has been used to attempt to crush every major progressive social movement in the last 150 years, including the women’s suffrage, civil rights, labor, disability justice, indigenous rights, reproductive rights, immigrant rights, anti-war, LGBTQ, anti-genocide, and climate justice movements, among many others.”
