I wonder if they’ve the gall to jail somebody for wearing a t-shirt which reads:

Palestine & Israel have EQUAL right to exist.

OK, so AI seems to deem demon-managing ritual to be something it needs to be pushing…

Here’s Trump’s demon-ritual, from the other night:

'bit of commentary, of course, & I’ve no guarantee that that video’s going to remain up, but … which is “insaner”, in your eyes: the recommendation of an AI, above, XOR the behavior of the US President, ( or his AI-created avatar: it’s bad video-quality ), in being cristened from a chalice of blood?

• Pimsleur language learning ( learn at instinct-level, not the prompted-stuff or memorizations that many other language trainings work at )
• Tandem app ( probably not great for privacy, been awhile since I tried it ), you help someone learn your language, & they help you learn the target language one you want
• simplified short-stories, books of collections of the things…
• TV in the target-language
• songs because they wire-up your other-hemisphere ( right-hemisphere for the 85% of people who have language in the left ) with the language, & that reinforces the language’s patterning
• flashcards for the stuff that actually requires you to remember specific arbitrary things, like difficult words, or whatever, for random moments throughout the day

Some of this I got from a book by a guy who knew … 29 or something? … languages & worked for the CIA.

Other stuff ( songs ) from science news, & my discovering that language-destroyed-by-stroke people could sometimes still communicate through picking a song which had the idea they were trying to communicate…

I have a bad time learning anything through hearing, though, so … language-learning seems itself to be kinda broken ( I learned English before anything, & it was my 2nd wave of braindamage which took much learning from my life, not the autism 1st-wave ).

These are the best tools I know-of.

I wish I could learn languages.

I wish everybody learned other-languages, to understand just how diverse humankind’s meanings can be…

I’ve been telling people about Trump’s being Putin’s, NOT Ukraine’s, OR NATO’s, ally, for years ( not necessarily here, but in RL ).

This was easily forseeable.

Coulda invested in mitigating the consequences…

Trump’s breaking of NATO comes next, after his dictatorship, when he annexes Canada.

Enjoy the weekend…

This isn’t world news, sorry.

At the event-horizon, you’re moving at the speed of light.

So, you can’t have any awareness of duration, anymore.

You slam into the black-hole, from your perspective, instantaneously, then.

No machine could be “fast enough” to notice any duration pass by, between the event-horizon & the smashing-to-strings/quarks/whatever.
