  1. @jeanbaptistemarie je guette toujours: est-ce que l'intégration des offres de Trenitalia est quelque part dans le pipe ?
    Je suis toujours sur Trainline a cause de cela: mon trajet le plus fréquent de fait entre Lyon et Paris, et l'offre des Italiens est souvent comparativement plus intéressante que celle de SNCF. #need ! 😅

  3. We have developed a gordian knot composed of systems of domination not least patriarchalcapitalism maintained by a democracy of representation, which has disempowered the majority.

    I am of a mind which takes the perspective of we are at a stage in conscious evolution, whereby we need to recognise ancient wisdom and interbeing as a relational method
    of what Vanessa Andreotti "Hospicing Modernity".

    We can (have to?) experiment with forms cosmolocalism and people power, participative democracy, as a a route through the present unravelling.

    A thought occurs how often do we recognise needs but instead focus on wants. A powerful aspect of domination.

  5. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 2, ch. 4, § 23 (2.4.23) (1951)

  9. Relieving song, or: Rising steam

    A Sijo

    my pot begins to murmur
    beneath its plain, faithful cap;
    every heartbeat finds less room
    inside the thick, waiting steel;
    then comes the valve's relieving song
    each stanza lifts with rising steam

    d’Verse: Ars poetica revisited

    At d’Verse, we are encouraged to write an Ars Poetica that reveals our relationship with poetry through imagery, symbolism, or personification, showing our writing process rather than simply explaining it.

    Sijo?

    A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.

    Let’s write poetry together!

    When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

    Ben Harper (b. 1969)

    Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

  11. @paulschoe please buy 1x #sodium cell and drive a nail through it

    Is #sodium safer than #lithium ? It seems like "it depends"
    techxplore.com/news/2026-04-sa
    It seems sodium-ion can also thermal run away when puctured for example

    what safety risks are associated with sodium-ion batteries?

    Thermal runaway / fire: still possible (especially with flammable organic electrolytes and high states of charge), though many studies find SIBs generally show lower heat release and slower propagation than Li‑ion cells.

    Electrolyte flammability and decomposition gases: conventional non‑aqueous electrolytes can ignite or produce toxic/reductive gases during abuse or overheating; nonflammable electrolytes are an active research area.

    SEI instability and parasitic reactions: sodium salts and solvents can form less stable solid–electrolyte interphases than lithium systems, causing continuous side reactions... #goodbms is key (again) #need #team #electricalengineer build better #bms

  16. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    The desires of man increase with his acquisitions; every step which he advances brings something within his view, which he did not see before, and which, as soon as he sees it, he begins to want. Where necessity ends, curiosity begins; and no sooner are we supplied with every thing that nature can demand, than we sit down to contrive artificial appetites.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1758-11-11), The Idler, No. 30

  19. Unsure about this quote.

    There may be an incorrect binary between love and need here. Both can be true simultaneously: need can deepen love just as love can deepen need.”

    It also risks idealising ‘need’ as something that only follows love.

  20. Ich habe 2019 bis 2024 für die #Verwaltung des Bundes gearbeitet.
    Seither unterscheide ich zwischen #Bedarf ("#demand") und Bedürfnis ("#need").
    #Intelligenz - auch #KI bzw. #AI - adressiert Bedarf.
    Für Menschen steht hinter jedem Bedarf auch ein Bedürfnis.

  21. I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

    Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

    I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

    I'll #say this.

    All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

    But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

    It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

    If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

    You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

    With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

    That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

    Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

    But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.
