Very interesting article from The Guardian on hypernormalization.

This is a long march, not a sprint. And one we’re doing it together. Pass this around, we will all need it. We’ve got your back. Thanks @pokinpotentialppl.bsky.social

It is interesting that many still haven't noticed but under current circumstances, people are just MEANS to ends. This includes supporters, oposers, rich, poor, and even the most loyalists. Once an end is reached, the means can be discarded. People matter.

Listen to this great and inspiring message from Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick from the band #Incognito during a 2024 show. It is just a couple of minutes long. It starts at 7'18" if you need to find it.
BTW, it's a great song too!

It is sad that our legacy to our future generations will be the problems that we were supposed to solve... not make worse.

I've always been fascinated by magic tricks. Illusionists show a flashy and attention-grabbing performance in front while the real tricky secret is in the back and most are unable to figure it out. Diversion can be impressive.

I've been trying to delete my former Twitter accounts for a few months now but both of them are locked. Tech support is unresponsive. I haven't used them in a long time and I can't get rid of them.
