  • I saw this during the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York city

    We’re in northern Ontario in Canada and I was with my wife and her mother. My mother in law was a great lady, tiny, Irish Canadian completely and with a heart of gold. She had lived through the second world War where she lost her husband, her husband’s brother, three other of her husband’s brothers who were in the war and a long list of friends she saw leave school to take part in the war and some of them not come back, some completely psychologically destroyed and others just surviving life.

    She was making chili that morning when we got up. I turned on the TV and couldn’t believe what we were watching. It was like a movie. We watched live the first burning building and then soon after watched the second plane crash on live TV. It was surreal.

    My mother in law came in and watched with us for a while. We were glued to the TV and waited for more … all day! My mother in law got up after five minutes and went back to her chili.

    We told her this was historic. You can’t miss it.

    She said she’s already lived through wars, near wars, threatened nuclear war, end of the world predictions, fall of the Soviet Union and a whole bunch more.

    She said she felt bad for everyone but we can’t do anything right now.

    She went back to cooking her chili.

    … and instead of reputable journalists and independent organizations printing our news for us on the television … ANYONE with a pulse and a grade ten level of writing skill can publish anything for anyone to read … and the evolution after that will be that ANYONE with access to a computer can use Artificial Intelligence to publish an entire feature news story out of thin air promoting whatever idea, theory, belief or information they want regardless if it is true or not and no one will be able to tell the difference.

    Reminds me of a terrible factoid I read a long time ago … they feed young calves they raise for veal a steady diet of cow’s milk mixed with liquefied rendered cow blood and other bio fluids.

    We might not have the matrix or dystopian futures yet … but we sure are on our way to building one.







  • I think we are more like the trash-pandas of the fediverse (and I mean that with a lot of love and respect … because I love trash-pandas (aka raccoons))

    We occupy the quiet corners of the fediverse and keep to ourselves and keep ourselves busy with the little activity we have. We make lots of stuff and we are building a huge underground community.

    But like our real world trash-pandas, eventually we’re going to be noticed and people will want to either encourage us for the lovable, smart, cute little creatures that we are … or they’ll start harassing us to get out of their attic and garage.
