Nå, så fik man da lige lidt ekstra morgenmotion! 🏃‍♀️
Jeg skal til SDU i dag og havde planlagt bus til Hovedbanen i god tid, med hele 15 minutter til afgang. Bortset fra trafikhelvedet på Amager! Lige omkring Christianshavns Vold panikkede jeg over det og hoppede af bussen. For at nå til Hovedbanen i tide måtte jeg så smålŸbe resten af vejen (2 km) - og undervejs kunne jeg så konstatere at jeg snildt kunne have taget mindst et stop til, for der var busbane det næste stykke 🤦‍♀️
Nu sidd…

I had a weird dream where I was talking to someone at some kind of ceremony, I think a funeral, where I had timidly painted my face with clay as part of some ritual. This person was talking about how far society has come while our brains have not caught up.
Imagine if your ancient cave dwelling ancestors were dropped into this world of cars, office hours, budgets, climate change, and AI. They would be absolutely freaking out and struggling to understand things all the time... Just like you are now.
Society teaches us to suppress these emotions. You're supposed to be OK with giant metal boxes flying around you in rumbling stampedes, but you feel it in unexplained anxiety. You're supposed to just fit your life into tight little bounds that ignore weather and season, but you feel it in more unexplained anxiety and depression. We are all part of something so big and complicated we can't make sense of it, we cannot possibly comprehend it all, it is simply too much to fully grasp the implications of our individual actions within global capitalism. Should we be surprised by our urge to simply destroy it, by the anger and desire to simply "smash" something far more complex than can be met with simple violence?
Some part of my brain was trying to remind me to be compassionate to myself. Perhaps that reminder can be useful to you as well.

After 88 days of near-total internet blackout in Iran,
long-delayed messages, images and poems flooded phones and social media feeds at about 5pm on Tuesday,
when still-limited connectivity flickered back to life.
The first reactions, however, were not celebratory.
Many new posts were threaded with scepticism, anxiety and anger.
Ellie*, 42, an artist from Tehran, was able to connect for the first time since 28 February.

Narasimha is the fourth incarnation of the #Hindu god Wishnu. For reasons, rage is a key trait of Narasimha, especially early in the incarnation. #trivia
Yesterday (Thursday) was "Narasimha Jayanthi", the birthday of Narasimha. The occasion is observed with pomp in Waisnavite locations across #India.
I of course attended the Narasimha Jayanthi festivities in #Udupi. Of the many people I encountered, two were rather rude and directed some anger at me, which I thought I didn't deserve. Still, I handled one of them right, which is by ignoring them; but I think I responded a wee bit in kind to the second. 😳
Needless to say, those two interactions left a bitter taste in me, but I later consoled myself that maybe it was just that Narasimha cast his shadow on some people that day, what with him having just been born. 😀
PS: Anyway, enjoy this presentation of Udupi Krishna on the special day:

Prompt engineering is a moving target. Here's my rundown on how GPT-5.5 and Claude 4.7 reward clarified output over magical incantations, and what it means for AI literacy https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonippolito_the-lates…

Willem challenged us to ask ourselves what we would do if we were living under Nazi occupation. Before all of this, I doubt anyone thought they would be complicit. I doubt anyone said to themselves, "nothing. I would cower in fear and do nothing."
But for 4 years or so we all answered that question again and again with our lives. Now here we are, answering it again... Every day. But it's no longer "what would you do during the rise of Hitler?" It's now, "what would you do after the invasion of Poland," and "what would you do after you knew about the concentration camps?"
For some people, the answer is still, "nothing."
But a lot of people have been brave in the face of it all. A lot of people have died, and a lot more will die. He will die, perhaps after a ruling by some court or other but, honestly, probably not. That's just how these things work out. Lots of people die, some for no reason, some because they stood up against injustice. A whole lot of people do nothing, until it's safe to claim victory... Until it's no longer safe to be on the other side.
That's just how these things go. Fascism is self-defeating, but it causes incredible harm on it's path of self-destruction. The more people who stand up, who risk themselves, the faster it collapses and the fewer it can hurt. That's also just how these things go. It's incredibly dangerous for everyone until enough people take some extra risk and make it safe for everyone again.
But that question still stands... Which one of those groups are you in? Are you proud of what you are doing, or will you look back with shame? Some of y'all have a lot to be proud of, but, if you're not, it's never too late to earn your way into that proud group.
