  1. The Fediverse Stats Paradox

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    The more I use WordPress, and the more they change the UI, the more I want to dump it. These stats, instead of encouraging me to use wordpress, and the fediverse, encourage me to dump both.

    Blogging shouldn’t be about metrics, it should be about the development of thoughts and ideas, and the occassional feedback. These stats turn blogging and writing into accounting. I don’t want to see disengagement quantified. I want positive signals, and here I only see negative signals.

  5. gave up trying to find the cover artist, love to attribute if anyone wants to find it

    I think we're so lucky to have this stuff digitized and available, when I was young it was the library or nothing. Used book stores, I guess. So glad we have this record of the way people were, the way they thought and were entertained.

    Look at the gams on that dame. And reflected in the tub. I love that this guy basically just took a wire and hooked it up to her slippers while she's in the shower... 🤣🤣 ❤️ 😂 👻

    Even the bad guys used to dress well in those days, look at the shine on his shoes. Those are "make it look like an accident" shoes.

    Vyjdeme z Rozhodnutí Nejvyššího Správního Soudu 10 As 254/2023 - 50: "To nelze dovozovat z nařízení vlády z roku 1954, podle kterého Pražský hrad náleží všemu československému lidu. Jedná se totiž jen o politickou proklamaci minulého socialistického režimu poplatnou své době."

  17. Bid to overturn #PalestineAction ban through #Scottish courts launched

    It is a maxim in Scots law that the law cannot be #absurd. To claim that #Palestine Action is a #terrorist organisation is plainly absurd

    This #proscription is #politically motivated in support of a #genocide and it is poisoning Scottish civil society. Entirely #peaceful #protestors are being #arrested and charged as #terrorists

  18. KAPITALISMI TUHOAA lopulta hyvinvoinnin lähteet: luonnon ja ihmiset. Siksi rikkaat haaveilevat toisista planeetoista eivätkä keskity tämän planeetan elinkelpoisena pitämiseen.

  19. I’m Nick: an atypical millennial male known for random fact dropping and nonsensical banter. My diagnostics read like a very honest grocery list: #Anxiety, #Depression, #ADHD, #PTSD, #BPD (that’s borderline personality disorder). I come fully equipped with a worldview you won’t find on any shelf

    When I’m not out embracing the #absurd, chasing wild animals for life lessons and the like, I’m #writing about everything, specializing in:

    - #Mentalhealth and the daily struggles of life
    - #America, specifically the Tar Heel State, as seen from a UFO: non-political (though I wouldn’t turn down an alien vantage point... and yes, I grew up on honeysuckle and firefly night-lights).
    - #Movies & #music: specializing in the ones that make you #laugh through tears and #empower you on your darkest days. And yes, I do like #musicals (not sorry).
    - #Philosophy, including #Academia of all kinds: I want to know it all (and then forget half of it at the most inconvenient times).

    Why do so many people still cling to beliefs that defy #logic, #evidence, and basic #commonsense?

    In this video, we dive deep into some of the most #bizarre, #irrational, and downright #absurd beliefs that millions around the world still take seriously — from ancient #superstitions and #magicalthinking to modern-day #religiousdoctrines that contradict #reality.

  21. "Wir sollten mal in diesem Land mehr darüber reden" .. dass es eine #ÜberproduktionsKrise im #SpätKapitalismus gibt, die #Ressourcen & #Menschen zunehmend schneller verbraucht.

    Und dass das Konzept "Wer nicht arbeitet, soll auch nicht essen" nicht nur #menschenfeindlich, sondern auch halt zunehmend #absurd ist.

    Die Leute hier sind weder "#faul" noch "#fleißig", sondern einfach Gefangene eines dysfunktionalen #System.

    Was so anscheinend auch für #YasminFahimi gilt.

  22. Vision du Reel – I lost view of the Landscape

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I watched J’ai perdu de vue le paysage at Vision Du Réel last week and I don't know whether I like or dislike this documentary, ironically for the very topic that it is exploring. The idea of the eternal return, repeated over, and over.

    The premise of the documentary was simple. "I have a neighbour and I want to make a documentary about him preparing his next show", except that inspiration is hard to find, and then the pandemic comes in and scuppers plans for the show to take place, and then there is uncertainty during lockdowns, and the wait for public life to be rebooted, and then the show takes place.

    The style of the documentary reminds me of Herzog, as the documentary maker is present in shot regularly, and becomes a growing part of the documentary.

    "I'm struggling with this phrase, can you help me?" so they look at the phrase, and they can't tell what it's about. It's a documentary split into 21 or so parts, if I remember correctly. We return eternally to "I wanted to make a documentary about A but..." and then it brings the story forward, over and over. It repeats.

    If you're familiar with observational documentary then you are familiar with the idea that the film maker should not get involved with the subject, and might even try to avoid eye contact.

    This documentary breaks that rule. She falls pregnant with his child, and that becomes part of the story. Remember, this was shot during lockdown so rules and conventions do not apply like they might have. When people were trapped, and isolated attitudes changed.

    This is not a moral judgement. This was to setup the description of a shot I like. They are in the room, conversing with the actors to explore how to bring the play to life. The key person is sitting, with his child. The camera starts from a wide shot and zooms in over a period of time until the child is fully in frame, reacting to the grown ups. It's a nice shot, and situation.

    I feel that I should watch LA Tea Time before judging the latest documentary. I worry that because I already watched two long documentaries before this one I might have been fatigued and in need of a break. What I hold against the film now, is precisely the purpose of the film. To explore the eternal return.

    I feel, that, if I watched LA Tea Time, and then considered the new film I would see it in a more positive light. I like Cinéma Verité and observational cinema, but I don't really like the Herzog style of documentary. I like Michael Moore and Louis Theroux so it's not the style I don't like.

    I suspect that I would have enjoyed this documentary more if it was the first or second of the day. I think that by being the third documentary I watched on that day it tarnished my appreciation of the film. I don't want to be negative about this film but it's the only one I didn't appreciate as much.

    I want to believe that I just felt fatigue.
