If you've read all of Orwell, you know that that last page makes the connection with all his previous books.
Books have a beginning, middle and an end.
Sometimes, as with the book of my namesake, the structure is the key to it all.

In a just and moral society, video games might have a passive effect.
But ours is no longer a just or moral society.
It is time to reexamine the suitability of the modern video games for children.
I'll tell you this much: there isn't a chance in Hell I would've held such an opinion at his age and it was due to society's absolute disapproval for such sentiments.
Kids are being incubated in a morally bankrupt society. What they are allowed to do matters.
That stupid kid disturbs me.

Ce matin j'ai vu passer ici un message d'une personne qui demandait de l'aide pour une amie : elle cherchait des volontaires pour remplir un questionnaire. Une enquête dans le cadre de ses études de psycho.
La psychologie des geeks radicaux ne doit pas lui être très familière : le formulaire qu'elle a partagé est un Google form. Elle s'est donc fait pourrir. Elle a reçu une dizaine de réponses qui lui indiquait son erreur. Apparement le pb c'est d'avoir une amie qui utilise Google, et d'essayer de l'aider quand même.

First Principles: Cutting Through US-European Political Theater
- The war in Ukraine is a US war, started by the US, serving solely US interests;
- The US politically captured Ukraine in 2014, controls its government and economy completely, as well as heads both its military and intelligence operations;
- All aspects of the war's continuation require complete and constant US backing politically, financially, militarily - including both weapons and ISR;
- Without this continuous and complete support the war would almost instantly end;
With this in mind, please tell me with what "leverage" either Ukraine or Europe are able to in any conceivable way "obstruct" or "oppose" a US "peace" proposal?
The answer is obvious - there is ZERO leverage. Thus, we are watching political theater meant to deceive, deflect, and distract from the reality the US does not seek peace - it seeks Minsk 3.0.
This theater takes place on various levels:
- between the US and Europe/Ukraine;
- within the EU and Ukraine;
- within the US 2 party system;
- within the Trump administration itself;
The Why...
It allows each component of Western political theater to blame the other and preserve its own utility in controlling various segments of the Western population and overseeing aspects of various agendas.
It allows the US as a whole to blame Europe and Europe to blame the US for any collapse of Ukraine. It helps create "automatic" support across segments of the public - for example - "the Democratic Party is against President Trump's peace deal? Well then I'm ALL FOR it!!!"
It also compartmentalizes the inevitable violation of any agreement Russia is foolish enough to make with the US regarding Ukraine - or any unilateral action taken by either Europe or Ukraine if no agreement is made (like European/non-European troops moving into Ukraine outside the framework of any deal).
One thing that is definitely NOT happening is the US genuinely wanting "peace" or some sort of constructive "relationship" with Russia - something it has never sought, ever, and is not about to do so now no matter how badly some desire otherwise.
There is zero evidence or precedent suggesting otherwise.
We just watched this same form of theater play out between the US and its Israeli proxies regarding Iran amid a war the US sought to wage first by proxy, then enter into itself - as laid out in policy papers as early as 2009.
The purpose was to pin the responsibility and retribution on America's proxies, rather than assume it itself.
And it worked.
The US is now repeating this exact same process again in Europe regarding the EU/Ukraine/Russia.
It really is that simple, no matter how compelling/appealing this political theater appears time to time and no matter how badly we wish any sort of genuine peace might be at hand.

where you located?
Helly Hansen Arctic with additional "sock liners" will get you down to -35C and stay toasty provided you have actual decent boots.
That's -31F for Muricans.
Any wool socks with liners will get you to the low negative teens in celsius.
Sock liners are basically ultra-thin polyester socks that wick moisture away.
Our trucks really weren't always big like this, for example, a stock S10 from any model year in which they were produced in the US, is significantly smaller than a stock Colorado you can pick up off the lot right now.
And even as far as vans go, the whole point of the minivan was to have something that can seat a lot of people but still be smaller than both commercial work vans that had been converted for passenger use and station wagons which were the popular family haulers around the time that minivans launched here.
We went from actively *trying* to shrink things down with the likes of the K-cars which famously saved Chrysler from their initial bankruptcy in the early '80s, and even the early minivans which were derived from the K-cars, and even small trucks even up into the early '00s were genuinely small, back to where everything is stupidly massive except for maybe sports cars. Hatchbacks are all but dead here, for example, and are sadly even dying out in the EU now.

I was looking forward to seeing an exhibition about Ursula Le Guin at Oregon Contemporary. Then I read about this event on December 6:
"CROSSLUCID is an artist collective (est. 2018) that engages in highly collaborative cross-disciplinary projects in co-evolution with technology. CROSSLUCID’s bespoke, generative AI film inspired by Ursula Le Guin’s Vaster than Empires and More Slow is the genesis for this event."
oregoncontemporary.org/a-large…
I have a hard time imagining Ursula Le Guin approving.
I'm aware things like autofocus on modern cameras or fractal generators are technically a form of AI, but the difference between those and generative AI ala Midjourney, is autofocus augments the thing it's attached to instead of trying to destroy it, and fractal generators always make unique artwork by design, while generative AI is both actively out to destroy everything it touches and also blatantly and openly plagiarizes everyone.
Not to mention it can be used for more sinister, fascist use cases such as rigging elections on top of actively destroying everything it touches and committing blatant and open plagiarism.
I hate generative AI and everything it stands for.

For those "leftists" who always feel superior to the proletariat
“As for those anti-imperialists who don’t participate in this festival of xenophobia — and here I include myself — we have our own elitist consolation: we accept the tragedy of masses of gullible sheeple falling for cunning propaganda because having overcome it flatters our own intelligence. The more we condemn society’s stupidity, the smarter we feel in comparison.”

Sneaky park tea on a cold rainy day is the best tea. An alcohol tablet stove is an amazing way to brew. This leaves no soot and makes no smoke. Better than a jet boil. Silent.
@sal
I can not *prove* that boiling the water outside makes the tea taste better. It should be fine to make it with the kettle inside, and put it in a good thermos for later... but if you will take my word? Trust me it does!
Oh, this is the guy who makes this stove.

Coming on to winter time this needs to be said again:
Lighters don’t produce a clean flame. It has crap in it that burns and turns black. Trying to melt snow and it turns black does not mean it’s plastic.
It also probably won’t melt. It’s just going to sublimate mostly. Disappear into gas and skipping the liquid phase because lighters are hot.
But people don’t listen at school about chemistry and physics do they.
Or don’t get taught in America
because you use highschool words you think you understand to articulate
