"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. (So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.)"

-- Carl Sagan
(1934-1996), Astro-physicist

Blue sky and dazzling clouds over Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park today. The clouds are reflected in the lake, as are the green forested slopes around the lake. In the foreground on the left, a dock with red and silver boats is lit by the sun. Park visitors on the dock are in deep discussion, perhaps considering boating options or just enjoying the view of distant mountains from their vantage point. In the foreground on the right, another group of park visitors look like they are making their preparations for a bit of paddling.

A showcase of melting glaciers, alpine meadows, carved valleys, and spectacular lakes. With over 700 miles of trails, Glacier is a paradise for adventurous visitors seeking a landscape steeped in human culture.

Mamdani is feared by Dem elites not because of the “socialism” label or the bullshit antisemitism charges.

He’s feared because he’s the first to overcome Dem elites’ opposition & win a primary without their permission.

His embodies their loss of power. levernews.com/whos-afraid-of-z…


Who’s Afraid Of Zohran Mamdani?

The mayoral candidate defeated the master plan for the first time ever — and that’s prompted an elite panic about who gets to control political outcomes.

A white Hyundai owner's car alarm woke him up to some black children trying to steal his car. Although they were only 13- and 14-years-old they were themselves driving a stolen car. He drove around the block looking for them, then there was a car chase. He shot 11 times into the back of their car and hit both. One died.
Now the 'vigilante' is going to prison for 56 years and the judge allowed the surviving n-word to read a statement condemning him for "using deadly force against two unarmed teens." The dead boy's parents lamented that their son's life (of crime) was cut short.

RIP #FrankCapria. I am not a religious man, hell I'm militant atheist, but if there ever was a Saint among us that walked this Earth it would be #JudgeCapria.

If you've never seen his courtroom videos you need to search for #CaughtInProvidence.

What a kind man, what a kind soul.

The World is now just a little bit darker without him in it.

A conversation got me curious about the state of non-Synapse #Matrix server software. Saving thiiiiis for later:

I was about to leave Matrix one week ago because of the high resource and disk space usage of Synapse. But then I found Conduwuit, a lightweight but featureful alternative to Synapse. And now I’m staying with Matrix.
