Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military into Ecuador this week to strike drug cartels,
-- and now he’s poised to do the same in more than a dozen other Latin American countries under a new proclamation he signed Saturday.
In remarks before the signing ceremony, flanked by the leaders of many of those countries,
🔥Trump described the proclamationas “a commitment to using lethal military force to destroy the sinister cartels and terrorist networks.”

Throughout most of my life I've lost something maybe once. In the last two weeks, I've lost two things already. And to the point of not even being able to tell when they "disappeared" — I was convinced I have them on me until I've noticed they're gone. I feel like I was losing my mind.
It doesn't help that I was raised to feel guilty about my mistakes. It doesn't help that people around me take this lightly (it's nothing "important"), so I also feel guilty about feeling guilty. And completely estranged.

I have some sketches of an essay that I need to write, but I think it's worth brain-dumping a bit more in the mean time.
#LLMs are an attempt to make tech grow forever. But like, how many "your mom/a friend, but done by a precarious worker instead" apps do we really need? Everything right now is in the AI grift hole, but there's almost nothing of interest (even if you ignore the ethical concerns). Like, no, I don't fucking want a robot to lie to me about my groceries. That doesn't sound like a useful feature. There's a lot of useless shit being pumped out to prop up the bottom line, and a lot of people just want to be able to use their old phone for more than a couple of years.
No one is happy with this. No one wants this. Except the billionaires who are forcing us all to drink the capitalism koolaid, because they'd rather exterminate life on earth than live in a world where they experience consequences.
Nothing grows forever. That's not how literally anything in reality works, or has ever worked, at all in history. Some people think that the universe itself may work like that, but that's only an educated guess. Finite things don't grow forever. Every organism, every society, every technology, every dynamic and adaptive system we have ever known goes through a growth phase and then goes in to a stabilization phase. Or, following a Malthusian pattern, grows until it reaches a catastrophic point and collapses. Like lemmings. Or reindeer. Or cancer.

Nach diesem langen Wochenende – verbracht mit einem extrem nervigen Magen-Darm-Virus, das bei mir Pogotanzen geübt hat – fühle ich mich wie frisch gekreuzigt und wiederauferstanden.
Habt bitte keine zu hohe Meinung von Allgemeinzustand und Lebenslust eines frisch Auferstandenen!

Im #Extertal speisen zwei fast 200 Meter hohe #Windenergie Anlagen seit Januar Strom ein.
Sie erreichen zusammen 8,4 Megawatt und decken rechnerisch den Bedarf von etwa 15000 Menschen. Die Gemeinde erhält eine Beteiligung nach

If this doesn't make you incandescently angry, you might want to remove that boot from your mouth.
