Good morning. 🫖☕😃
7 October 2025
The weather report I checked this morning said we can expect it to be partly sunny. I found that curious — why not partly cloudy? I appreciate the glass-half-full sentiment, though. Technically, the sun is always present, albeit sometimes obscured from our direct view by clouds or by the Earth itself. Clouds, however, come and go, so partly cloudy feels more accurate. Or is it more correct? I tried correcter, but it got the dreaded red squiggly underline. So yes — more correct is correct. Now that I’ve corrected that, I can move on.
The sun has always been and always will be. Well, like all things, it will eventually go away — but not within our wee little lifetimes, which are but a fraction of a second in the grand scheme of things. As far as humans go — or life on Earth, for that matter — the sun has always been. To be sure, Earth will cease to exist long before the sun does. Scientists predict that Earth will likely be snuffed out by the sun when it becomes a red giant in a mere 5 billion years or so.
Yes, it’s likely that humans won’t always be — but they will always be in our lifetimes 😜. I read a headline this morning about the discovery of a 57,000-year-old artifact. The headline claimed the object, which bore carvings, wasn’t created by humans. But when I read further, I discovered the carvings were made by Neanderthal people — which gave me pause 🤔. Wait a minute, weren’t Homo neanderthalensis human? Homo means “man,” you know.
Oh no! I’m running out of space and need to wrap this up. Homo neanderthalensis were human, just like Homo sapiens — different species, yes, but they interbred. So were they really that different, way back when?

Not to sound like a #curmudgeon (a #malcontent if you will) but why don't #parents prevent their #spawn from making noise with utensils when in a public restaurant? How is the partially formed #homosapien to imprint what is rude, #entitled and/or #unconscious behaviour?

Classifying humans and human-like mammals based on the shape of their head bones and other bones is not science, but pseudo-science. Why would #anthropologists still insist on doing this?
I would say the shape of my head is more like that of a #Neanderthal. #HomoErectus are known to have smaller teeth which I believe is due to their diet, not how advanced they are. If their diet was more grain and vegetable based or contained less calcium, having smaller teeth is natural. #homosapien

Not long ago, our species was not on the top. There were lions and other courageous predators that stood above us. We were still scared monkies always thinking somebody was behind us going to eat us.
Through the miracle of language and cooperation, we rose to the top far faster than we should have. Instead of being courageous dominatrs, we are scared dominators. And that fear is what makes us the most dangerous species to ever have existed.

#Aliens may have already visited #Earth.
Presuming that they'd be here at any point during our wafer-thin moment of existence on this #planet is the pinnacle of #narcissitic #human arrogance.
We're also far out in the sticks of the #MilkyWay #galaxy.
Maybe we only get scanned every #epoch (1,000,000 years) or even half an epoch. They could have "just" missed early #HomoSapien.
Anyway, the premise for 65, on #Netflix, "the atmosphere is breathable" is the most unbelievable part of the plot.

@[email protected] Fine. I'm just going to refer to #ElonMusk as a #HomoSapien from here on out.

And if we don't change course rapidly, that fever will mercilessly #eradicate the #pathogen known as #HomoSapien
