How Bob Dylan Kept Reinventing His Songwriting Process, Breathing New Life Into His Music
On his 84th birthday this past Saturday, Bob Dylan played a show. That was in keeping with not only his still-serious touring schedule, but also his apparently irrepressible instinct to work: on music, on writing, on painting, on sculpture.

"A man might be afraid his home will get bombed, ...or he's afraid that he will get shot, or beat down by state troopers, and he may go on and live until he's 80. He's just as dead at 36 as he would be at 80. The cessation of breathing in his life is merely the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.
A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice."
Martin Luther King Jr.

No!
Fuck you!
STOP!
GET OUT!
I'm fine, I'm breathing
I'm just angry
I'm 70 years old and I'm fucking angry
Oh, just fuck off

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing
Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

Because who doesn't want to breathe outta their ass, I suppose https://www.sciencealert.com/human-trials-bring-us-closer-to-breathing-through-our-butts

Human Trials Bring Us Closer to Breathing Through Our Butts
We may be a step closer to being able to breathe through our butts.

Tension. Anxiety. Arousal. Hyperarousal. Edgy. Distracted. Fearful.
Deep breathing. Focus on the horizon maybe?

Research shows that improved home ventilation can ease asthma symptoms, advance public health
For millions of people living with asthma, even the air inside their homes can make breathing difficult. But researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington have shown that better ventilation systems can make a measurable difference in helping people breathe more easily.

I can't even begin to explain what I'm writing at the moment. There are hamsters, bodyless Voices, and hobnobs. The security chief is hiding under a rug, the manager is missing their clipboard, and someone is hosting a breathing class in the basement again.
It will be even less comprehensible if I try to explain. But I suppose it's a good sign that I laugh myself to tears when I…

One more photo today from my recent blog post. At first I really disliked the bright white spots in the background - okay I *still* dislike them.
But ... after a while now I think it's not a too bad photo overall. Anyways - let this be a relaxing start into your weekend!
Cheers! and if you want more context: check out the blog post or even follow my blog from the fediverse: @…

I survived the first formal exercise class I've ever been to: a trial session of Reformer Pilates.
I don't think I actually reformed anything really, but did spend a lot of time breathing the wrong way.

💥2000 meters to Andriivka
The closer you get to combat, the more jarring it becomes.
Death comes randomly.
The noise is terrifying;
the fear is stifling.
And most people can’t bear to see what war actually does to the human body
—how a brief instant can transform a living, breathing person
into ugly scraps of flesh.
The fighting in Ukraine has, in many ways,
transformed the nature of warfare.
As many as 80 percent of battle casu…

A War Film to Change All War Films
An Oscar-shortlisted documentary shows battle in startling clarity.

Children in hospital after fascist paramilitary invaders trows cs gas into car. Father had to plead for an ambulance to be called. (Minnesota - 01/15/26)

I watched @… 's video on his inline whole-house humidifier and I'm jealous of this system.
My house is a breathing-painful ~30% humidity right now (it was ~-20°C outside overnight and it's been COLD for two weeks).
We got rid of our centralized system and adopted multi-headed ductless units. We do, however, still have a heat-conservin…

Scientists just found a game-changing way to check on dolphin health without stressing them out.
Researchers at Flinders University are using drones with thermal cameras to measure dolphin body temperature and breathing rates from above. No more invasive capture methods or stressful probes—just non-invasive monitoring that keeps dolphins safe while giving conservationists the data they need.

Have you ever considered how profoundly music impacts our emotions? 🎶 In my view, classic movie soundtracks are unparalleled in evoking powerful feelings and breathing life into stories. They whisk us away, enhancing our connection to the narrative. I'm fascinated by those scores that strike a deep chord. Which soundtracks transport you to another realm? Share your favorites! #MovieSoundtracks #MusicMagic #EmotionalJourney

💸 “Earn €1,000 a week. 100% safe. Limited time only!”
It looks tempting. Everyone else seems to be doing it. And the inner voice says: what if it’s real?
That’s exactly how cyber criminals exploit social engineering tactics like curiosity, greed, and FOMO to get us to fall for the bait.
When something sounds too good to be true, pause & breathe. Try box breathing (4–4–4–4) to reset before you click.

Immigration agents have put civilians’ lives at risk using more than their guns.
An agent in Houston put a teenage citizen into a chokehold,
wrapping his arm around the boy’s neck, choking him so hard that his neck had red welts hours later.
A black-masked agent in Los Angeles pressed his knee into a woman’s neck while she was handcuffed;
she then appeared to pass out.
An agent in Massachusetts jabbed his finger and thumb into the neck and arteries of a young f…

The Food and Drug Administration rarely uses its authority to pull dangerous medical devices off the market
and is so poorly staffed that it’s sometimes unable to make sure companies are taking critical steps to protect patients during health emergencies,
according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office.
The inquiry by the congressional watchdog was requested nearly two years ago by top members of the Senate
in the wake of an investigation about the 2…
