Old, Gray, and making my tiny little difference.

“We should measure the prosperity of a nation not by the number of millionaires, but by the absence of poverty, the prevalence of health, the efficiency of the public schools, and the number of people who can (and do) read worthwhile books.” ~ W.E.B. DuBois

A black and white photo of W.E.B. DuBois, accompanied by his quote:

We can't undo our mistakes, we can't take back what we should not have said, or undo misdeeds. They can be a torment, but should be viewed as a tutor. I try to learn, to be the best me. I am still human, sometime ego and emotions win, and I reap regret. 1/2

I have noticed some issues with accuracy in LLM. Upon reflection given they are scanning files from the internet (which is full of trolls and humourist) it makes sense they sometimes make ridiculous suggestions.

Friday & here you are! You can see your destination. It’s close at hand. Your orientation is solid. Your track & line perfect. Trust your instincts. Carry on. Carry forth. Go onward. Make room for those following with you! Let’s go! Be careful. Be safe. Be shiny. Be glimmer. Be you. Take no shit.

Gandhi seven social sins of 1925: 1. Wealth without work. 2. Pleasure without conscience. 3. Knowledge without character. 4. Commerce without morality. 5. Science without humanity. 6. Religion without sacrifice. 7. Politics without principle. What would you add or change?

Note to self, plastic garden sprayers left in the sun get brittle and explode when pressurised. No serious injuries, just a mild concussion, bruising and scrapes. Please store in a cool dark place, I don't want anyone else hurt. Not the Saturday morning I was planning on.

Is it just me, or is the USA experiencing a reverse insurrection where the government is rebelling against its citizens? It seems insane how lawless the USA has become, how savage, brutal, and cruel Trump's thugs are. It seems to rapidly becoming a civil war of a government against its people.

The skeleton key to unlock the Trump administration is to understand that everything it does is for the sake of posting. It wants to get likes and shares. And it is specifically captured by a neo-Nazi, fascist audience that wants images of torture, violence, and murder, especially of minorities.
