Now, in my work I am a “prompt” composer and expounding again. The very same principles of concision in my communication with which I started in this “professional” world. Yet now, my Agentic side-brain is incentivized to consume more tokens to transfer a “grokkable” from gray-matter to “black-box.”

Humans didn’t want to read, therefore I compressed my comprehension to variable points and hoped they would understand and, if need be ask about the variables. Mostly, humans only want summaries.

When I started out in the professional workplace world, I was told that I had a tendency toward verbosity overmuch. After years I fine tuned my output to TL:DR; which would summarize and hopefully carry the point to intention.

My afternoon started with trying to focus on “Coding with AI Agents” for a pilot training. Then I went and fell into where time frustrates a melanin deficient hare; the realm of The Mad Haberdasher, la ĉeŝira knabino kato, and her majesty of the silenced heart.

And now, I am dead. (And scene)🎬

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Don’t forget today that you are loved, probably.

Don’t forget that we are not a land of the free without an enormous cost of ancestral lives fighting against tyranny and oppression.
March 28, 2025 at 4:47 AM
Don’t forget today what a run on sentence is. 🙄

Don’t forget today how many bootstraps or shoes laced or appropriate work attire you’ve dawned on your way out the door to provide for your loves and perhaps even your own retirement plans.
March 28, 2025 at 4:47 AM
Don’t forget today that we are one people.
March 28, 2025 at 4:47 AM
Don’t forget today that your family, no matter what has happened in recent years, loved you once and may even still hold the times you were there dearly in their heart and memories.

Don’t forget today the gist about the Tower of Babel, and how similar social media is to the heavenly smite in confusing and separating the people who have built it from their own content contributions.
March 28, 2025 at 4:47 AM
Don’t forget today, neither matter what the platform started out as, nor what it was when you started on it, that some things evolve and sometimes humankind will make things devolve.

Don’t forget today that you or your family may have been categorically addicted to an algorithmic content machine.
You, at least, are in a hopefully better place now.

Today is a great day to not forget.

My running hypothesis. He is fomenting division from our allies from without, and citizens dissent from within so they can get drawn into a war and he can declare martial law to retain control and possibly dissolve congress and the constitution.

The intent to sew chaos by the dumpster fire of EO change orders is only part of the “look over there” tactics that are part of the “So you want to be a dictator” playbook from his puppet masters in Russia.

How do you define what it is to be “American” in the context of Unity of States which are federated by joining union in a single government?

I’m interested to read more on folks understandings; discourse on, what you learned in your early education, and perhaps after adolescence experiences.

Wouldn’t it be an amazing Super Bowl if all the people on the field looked at Elon Trump and told him/it/asses to stop.

Then took a knee and all sports “entertainment” just refused to play until he/that/racists resigned from office.

Schrödingers cat, you’ve had a good run, take a seat.

Introducing: MAGA DOGE Dude.
It is “inconsequential,” “substantial,” “perfidious,” and ”impeccable”

And then the employees who were actual government employees started seeing the pattern.
The billionaire was looking for files and incriminating evidence of his ties with our adversaries.
All the other actions were taken to obfuscate his singular target. The reason he purchased the presidency.

Good evening everyone, so how goes the “soft” coup?

Do we still need to file our taxes?
