“My body is here, but my soul never left the place that once held my laughter, my silence, my peace.
I miss the warmth of my home — the sunlight spilling through familiar windows, and the small joys I once took for granted: quiet mornings, fleeting smiles, the fragile moments that made life whole.”

Why for all of us to take to heart?
Because we all need to remember that there are people in our circles for whom existence is resistance, which makes every single day a fight.
And we need to remember that it •matters• when we forcefully speak up for the humanity of others — or simply treat somebody who is vulnerable with basic decency and steadfast respect, in spite of the whole damned world.
And some days some little instance of one of those things — speaking up, decency, respect — that just feels like almost nothing in the moment might be the most important thing we do all day, and we won’t even know it.

🧚 Sustainable energy: 'Fairy circles' can provide clues to depth of natural hydrogen sources
https://phys.org/news/2025-09-sustainable-energy-fairy-circles-clues.html
In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each.
It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight.
Such questions, which ask for the number of solutions that satisfy a set of geometric conditions,
were a favorite of the ancient Greeks.
And they’ve continued to entrance mathematicians for millennia.
How many lines lie on a cubic surface?

Discord banning people who aren’t even pedos while the real pedos host karaoke in public servers is peak digital clown show. The mods spin in circles, the code eats itself, and everyone claps like this isn’t the dumbest apocalypse ever written.
The pedos stay untouched while the falsely banned fade into the void, posting screenshots from exile. The machine coughs, the users laugh, and the universe hums in white noise, pretending it’s all part of moderation.

On November 5th, Trump will keep trying to blur truth and fiction through his staged shadow hearings.
Our answer will be simple:
Circles of light around our local government buildings.
Testimony shared openly and honestly.
A united message: The people are watching.
Some will stand silently in person.
Some will speak through livestreams and digital testimony.
Together, we will form a national chorus of truth.

People of his ilk whine: “Politics! Cancel culture! Name-calling! Everyone used to just praise me! Why can’t we just build good tech???”
Well, there’s the thing: his presence is a •liability• to the tech I depend on. His words and behavior threaten to fragment and destroy the human systems that keep the tech solid. I do care that he’s a racist asshole and want him gone from my circles for that reason alone, but even if I didn’t care, I’d •also• want him gone for the good of the technology.

Apropos the leaving of Federal documents in a hotel printer ....
People tend to forget that many printers retain in their memory (which might be persistent across power cycles) that contains the contents of the most recent documents printed, scanned, or faxed.
It may not be obvious how to extract that data, but let's say that the powers that coerced all ink jet printers to print a unique printer-identifying pattern of small yellow dots and circles (hard to see with the human …

"I share your enthusiasm for conversation over food. I ran a fishing lodge for 8 years, people from all over the world came. I would eat dinner with a different group each night. I am unable to count the times that the sun set and midnight arrived with the food gone and only wine and conversation left. Conversation seems to be leaving society now in many circles."
conversation and dining has been superseded bu uber eats and social media,.
