“The mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.”
~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President

Rylstone and Cracoe Plague Stone: This plague or Vinegar Stone as it is known locally is situated on Chapel Lane at the parish boundary between Rylstone and Cracoe. According to The Rylstone History Project the stones date from the 1665 plague, from which Rylstone people suffered, but the people of Cracoe did not. Vinegar was placed in its hollow as a disinfectant and Cracoe people placed food underneath the stone in exchange for money left in the vinegar by their Rylstone neighbours.
"President Trump is reportedly meeting with key advisors today to discuss options for military action against the Iranian regime. It may be too late to have a meaningful impact. The protests may already be crushed, and the bodies may be waiting to be claimed." @samfaddis
Our lives are made up of a finite number of hours on earth. There is no escaping that. Our clock is always ticking whether we like it or not. James reminds us that our lives “are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” What I choose to do with that time matters. spiritandtruth.life/blog/2023/…
“The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.” (1 John 2:17 NIV) Recently I was reading 1 John and this verse jumped out to me. It is very blunt and simple but carries tremendous weight.

if you travel the correct route across our beloved downs you can visit the flames of our immigrant pastures places we came from and loved, our parents in memory while in York, old and new, state to state to country we sip at the hate some of our ancestors finally dropped claiming pride of people and place where smallpox now conquered, was given as gift after gift
as we say, no longer soto voche take your goddamn masks off
and it’s not all of us, we’re not all coughing, but gods it’s not as if the sickness gets all the way better even so our poor, our tired, maybe speaking words of victory our war gardens memorialized in safe canning practices gathered together in neighborhoods with – finally – a bit of variation, in foods at gatherings we afford
saying of community, welcome even if some of the smiles require elastic
elderfolk saying it’s getting harder to tell what winning looks like, feels like, having been spit on as soldiers having been shot up and shipped out, crooked, crookless but that you can taste it in a thousand dishes from those who lived, who arrived after, who said let this then also be our pasture, our peaceful arrival blamed only later for something pockless
welcome, unwelcome, be breathless take your goddamn masks off

Jan 13, 2026 @ 13:01 God afternoon family & friends❣️ It looks gray outside, haven't checked the weather. Been, of course, working on this site since I got up a couple of hours ago. Pete is at another appointment, getting tests. My excitement for the day is that I'm going to try making mayo out of HB eggs. Lots of videos online about how to do it. Mayo has gotten crazy expensive, especially the kinds without seed oils (which I've been avoiding long before it was trendy to do so). I want to play my keyboard and work on some more of the songs from the Rejoice Hymns (Hamilton) which is the first of the modern hymnals I bought last year. As you can see by yesterday's music I shared, I'm still in the C's in the index, so I have a LOT more to work on in this book alone. Of course the PoiBoiz have been keeping me company all morning, especially Maxwell who loves to fly back and forth from me to various other spots. Elliot is more sedentary (and also older) and would rather stand on top of his cage and call for me to come and get him hahaha! He's a good flyer but not as much of a smooth land-er anymore...failing eyesight perhaps? In October he will be 28; most sources give them a lifespan of 25-30, but some claim they can live up to 40 years. I hope that's the case with my boiz... Anyway, I guess I will go get on with my day, and will see you later❣️🙌✝️🎶😆🥩🌿💐👴👵🐕🦺🦜
Every time I explain to someone that "AI" is really just a "word calculator" that phrase suddenly demystifies the topic and you see the lights go on inside their brain.
The biggest trick the tech bros pulled was simply making ordinary folks believe AI has some kind of mysterious capability. It doesn't.
It's great at highly repetitive pattern matching, and ideal for generating very mediocre output. Mostly, AI is a solution desperately in search of a problem.

Israeli media say the final draft of a bill to execute Palestinians held in Israeli jails would allow the hanging of Palestinian detainees within 90 days, ban direct lawyer meetings, grant full immunity to executioners, and enforce total isolation, sparking fierce legal and human rights outrage.

Palestinians bury a one-year-old child, Mohammed Basyouni, who died of hypothermia in his displaced family's tent. This is a direct result of Israel's deliberate and ongoing destruction of entire neighbourhoods in Gaza. Despite the ceasefire, Israel continues to demolish homes while blocking temporary housing units from entering the Strip.
A displaced Palestinian family in Gaza survives inside a heavily damaged building as winter storms intensify. With shelters inadequate and the Israeli blockade preventing the entry of vital aid, families are left exposed to extreme cold and worsening conditions.

"America's tech monopolies have sequestered trillions of dollars worth of monopoly rents on their balance sheets. This is dead capital, being pissed up the wall on nonsense like stock buybacks and data-centres and grotesque executive bonuses." Let's take it back.
Like all the best Americans, I'm Canadian, and while I have lived abroad for most of this century, I still hew faithfully to our folkways, which is why I'd like to start this essay by apologizing.
I'm sorry.

“How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.”

So, theoretical atproto service: “Omnifollow”. For those of us who prefer one social graph. Sign in and grant it repo:* access. It watches the firehose. If you follow someone on service A, it autofollows them on any other service that you both use, e.g. you both have profile records for the service
From my perspective, the ATProto social graph would be more useful as a "find your friends" across apps, not necessarily auto-follow. Rather than sending all your contacts to every app, you can choose which of your apps to "recommend" follows from. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:2zmxi…
