The Path That Waited for Me

I walked alone, once—
not because I lacked love,
but because I had not yet learned
the sound of my own steps.

There were no maps,
only wind in the trees
and the press of footprints
too old to follow.

I carried all I thought I needed:
the ache of past years,
a rusted kind of pride,
and questions folded like paper cranes
I never dared to open.

But the forest didn't ask for answers.
It asked for presence.
The stones beneath my feet
taught me weight.
The silence showed me
how to listen without needing to speak.

And in that long, slow wandering—
where no hand held mine,
no voice called me home—
I found myself turning
to my own breath for company.

When I returned,
I was no longer searching.
I saw her—my wife—
not as a missing half,
but as a mirror
that did not distort me.

Love, real love,
came not from escape,
but from returning whole.

Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?


Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he'd ever consider it?

Car carrier sailing from China carrying #EVs catches fire in Pacific Ocean

A financially motivated group of hackers is having a roaring success targeting Salesforce instances for “large-scale data theft and subsequent extortion” using social engineering techniques, warned Google this week.

The group has “demonstrated repeated success in breaching networks by having its operators impersonate IT support personnel in convincing telephone-based social engineering engagements” including within what it described as “English-speaking branches of multinational corporations.”

A ship filled with 3160 ChiComm made cars - including 65 EV and 600 Hybrids is burning in the pacific Ocean - fire started in the EV section.

This is the 3rd ship that caught fire because of EV battery failures.

Fire suppression system didn't stop the fire.

Even better: the ship is carrying 350 metric tons of fuel oil and 1500 metric tons of gas.

Crew has abandoned ship.

EV's are dangerous because when the battery goes - there's very little that can be done except watch the fireworks as the Lithium Ion battery goes into thermal-runaway. Not so green.

To MAGA, being in the U.S. illegally is the crime—deportation is justice, not punishment. His family isn’t being imprisoned, just sent home. Exile? That’s a romantic word for a visa overstay.

The Blue Danube Waltz sent into the stars

On 31 May, a live performance of The Blue Danube – often referred to as the ‘anthem of space’ – was transmitted by the European Space Agency (ESA) into the vastness of space. The event marked a double celebration: ESA’s 50th anniversary and the 200th birthday of the King of Waltz Johann Strauss II.

Ibrahim Traoré and Emmanuel Macron: What Leads Their Tense Relationship? Part 2 journal-neo.su/2025/06/04/ibra…

I just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi, of China, discussing some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal. The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries. There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products. Our respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined. We will be represented by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer. During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE. Nothing was discussed concerning Russia/Ukraine, or Iran. We will inform the Media as to scheduling and location of the soon to be meeting. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
