*I bought an actioncam.*
Finally!
I'm learning how to use it properly. I tried to capture some impressions from our #cycling ride last weekend near #Tegernsee. (And learned that I should really buy an appropriate SD Card.)
Don't worry, I'm still commited to photograph…

The creators of “South Park” aren’t holding back.
Nor are Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart.
Just a few weeks after Paramount settled a lawsuit with Donald Trump,
and less than a week after the company made the abrupt decision to cancel “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,”
some of the company’s marquee names have been using their Paramount platforms to attack their corporate bosses
— as well as the president.
In the season premiere of the animated Comedy Ce…

Calamus 43 O you whom I often
A short and sweet love poem, Whitman at his most writerly. The spare and simple words have a light musicality that's often missing from his more didactic blank verse.
The literal meaning is Whitman telling someone how his very presence inspires feelings of love. It's so short and precise I'm just going to quote the whole poem.
O you whom I often and silently come where you are, that I may be with you,
As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the same room with you,
Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your sake is playing within me.
I love the lack of action. Whitman simply wants to sit in the same room as his beloved, a quiet devotion I appreciate. And that phrase "subtle electric fire". Electric had a different meaning in pre-Edison America but it works both ways.
Mostly this poem is just a lovely mood.
(The linked video and commentary are more than usually good.)

Asked 5 different local AIs (not internet based nor connecting to the internet):
What is the average airspeed of a fully laden swallow?
And they attributed it to 3 novels: Alan Sillitoe's "The Lonely Voice"(which does not exist), Douglas Adams's "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and also the correct answer, the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
So as long as we're good with AI being 75%…
