The Big Internetic Sleep – George Tsakraklides
tsakraklides.com/2025/08/31/th…
The paradox of the internet was that, as the volume of information we handled dramatically increased, truth became much easier to hide under this pile of junk. At the same time, the relative value of each individual piece of information decreased considering the overall volume. Bombarded with thousands of e-mails and notifications, we became desensitised to disasters, genocides, but equally, everyday miracles. As we became buried under the junk, we switched off. We became part-conscious beings, stuck in the dreamworld between reality and the Unreality

"Steinbeck's Vietnam memoir In Touch was published by Knopf in 1969. He wrote about his experiences with the Vietnamese and GIs. Steinbeck took the vows of a Buddhist monk while living on Phoenix Island in the Mekong Delta, under the tutelage of the Coconut Monk, a silent tree-dwelling mystic yogi who adopted Steinbeck as a spiritual son. Amid the raging war, Steinbeck stayed in the monk's "peace zone", where the 400 monks who lived on the island hammered howitzer shell casings into bells."

The guy who owns Gristedes threatening to close or sell all the stores if Mamdani starts operating publicly-owned grocery stores is so goofy.
Like yes, please, sell off your stores (which are the source of your income) even though they're profitable. This capricious lack of public accountability by necessary public services is literally exactly the problem Mamdani is trying to solve.

Water is temporary ofc, just to give some idea. I don't have actual water implemented yet 😅
And ofc stuff like forests, biomes, etc will happen, but not right now.
Btw, the main island is ~50km in length.

Stefano Marinelli reshared this.
The image shows a screenshot of a Wikipedia page about "Automatic quartz," a type of watch movement. At the top, there is a search bar with the text "Search Wikipedia" and a number "15" indicating the number of search results. Below the search bar, there is a close-up image of a watch back, showing the internal components labeled "Pinion," "Gear," and "Pendulum." The watch is made of stainless steel, as indicated by the text "Stainless Steel" on the back. The Wikipedia article explains that automatic quartz movements combine a self-winding rotor mechanism with a piezoelectric quartz crystal to generate electricity, aiming to provide the advantages of quartz without the inconvenience and environmental impact of batteries. The article mentions that several manufacturers employ this technique. At the bottom of the screen, there are navigation options including "Save," "Language," "Find in article," "Theme," and "Contents."

After Oct 7, the Israelis stopped listening to anyone on the subject of Hamas.
I don't need convincing that Israel has behaved abominably. There's a bit of Genesis 4: The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.
We would like to get past the Hamas death cult and get on to the Israeli genocide - but the Israelis stopped caring on Oct 7. Hamas oppresses the Palestinians, too.

“ #Socrates said, “The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.” He wasn’t talking about grammar. To misuse language is to use it the way politicians and advertisers do, for profit, without taking responsibility for what the words mean. Language used as a means to get power or make money goes wrong: it lies. Language used as an end in itself, to sing a poem or tell a story, goes right, goes towards the truth. A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.”

grammar(n.)
late 14c., "Latin grammar, rules of Latin," from Old French gramaire "grammar; learning," especially Latin and philology, also "(magic) incantation, spells,
mumbo-jumbo" (12c., Modern French grammaire), an "irregular semi-popular adoption" [OED, 2nd ed. 1989] of Latin grammatica "grammar, philology," perhaps via an unrecorded Medieval Latin form *grammaria.
The classical Latin word is from Greek grammatike (tekhnē) "(art) of letters," referring both to philology and to literature in the broadest sense, fem. of grammatikos (adj.) "pertaining to or versed in letters or learning," from gramma "letter" (see -gram). An Old English gloss of it was stæfcræft (see staff (n.)).
A much broader word in Latin and Greek; restriction of the meaning to "systematic account of the rules and usages of language" is a post-classical development.
Until 16c. limited to Latin; in reference to English usage by late 16c., thence "rules of a language to which speakers and writers must conform" (1580s). The meaning "a treatise on grammar" is from 1520s.
For the "magic" sense, compare gramary. The evolution is characteristic of the Dark Ages: "learning in general, knowledge peculiar to the learned classes," which included astrology and magic; hence the secondary meaning of "occult knowledge" (late 15c. in English), which evolved in Scottish into glamour (q.v.).
A grammar-school (late 14c.) originally was a school for learning Latin, which was begun by memorizing the grammar. In U.S. (1842) the term was put to use in the graded system for a school between primary and secondary where English grammar is one of the subjects taught.
The word is attested earlier in surnames (late 12c.) such as Robertus Gramaticus, Richard le Gramarie, whence the modern surname Grammer.
Grammar - Etymology, Origin & Meaning
Originating in late 14c. from Old French gramaire and Latin grammatica, the word means "grammar," especially Latin rules, and also "spells" or incantations.etymonline
