I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

Also, belated #FootpathFriday...
I absolutely love board walks and southern Bavaria has a decent amount (and distance) of them due to hundreds of swamps and moors, remnants from the melting ice age glaciers...
(I thought, I had this post scheduled to go out yesterday, but somehow I messed up the dates, so now manually, one day later...)

Many people enjoy getting out into nature. Including me, of course: I love a hike as much as the next guy.
But my idea of getting stuck in is certainly different to most. The muddier, the wetter, the swampier I can get, the better. I can't go past a pond, ditch or swamp without wondering how deep it is.
Occasionally I get to find out. This one? In places, I couldn't feel the bottom 😍

A small, boggy area I found near Meldon Reservoir, Dartmoor.
I was with the family this visit, so sadly I couldn't leave the path and squelch out into the bog like I sorely wanted to. Its depth will forever be unknown.

Looks can be deceiving:
I was out in the country, exploring areas off the trails like I often do, when I encountered this innocent-looking drainage ditch. The water calmly trickled past the reeds. Nobody was around.
It turned out to be a thigh deep swamp and I plunged in well over my wellies. Oops!
I didn't hurry to get out.

When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.

A cartoon from Goris, to wrap up this week in news of "USA: the hottest swamp, nobody's ever drained a swamp like this before...
Only one other person on earth can lie this consistently and blatantly, non-stop.
The other, of course, is the #King of the #Swamp, Sir #TrumpVirus - with "all the best words", all lies &/or delusion, tossed at us in one big #WordSalad.
For sheer # of #lies ... She's right up there!

I will not debate populist AI feelings, you're entitled to them and I respect that. However, it's arrived and these tools are in use. A new set of theory crafting is required for now and this is my start to deal with it: https://webframp.com/posts/six-principles-for-agentic-operations/

People are asking me about the race problem.... I know of no race problem. The great problem that confronts the American people to-day is a national problem -- whether this great nation of ours is great enough to live up to its own convictions, carry out its own declaration of independence, and execute the provisions of its own constitution.

The radio was playing The Riddle by Nick Kershaw, and, idly, my brain started to rewrite the chorus to make it all about sinking into a boggy swamp. What's not to love?!
Near a tree by a river
There's a hole in the ground
If you stride 'cross the surface
You'll sink down, deeply down.
For the swamp has no bottom
As you've suddenly found
And you can't pull your boots out
Of the wet, boggy ground
But it's super, muddy fun, in the mire. -

There is little more calming than the sound of gently rippling water.
A small river, southern UK.
Don't try to cross the bridge though, it was on the verge of falling down! But the river's only knee deep at this point, so it's fine to wade across, you'll just flood your wellies. Whether that puts you off depends very much on whether you like getting your toes squelchy : )
