Behind The Shield - Ep. 2: Our Way Of Life https://www.raiders.com/video/ashton-jeanty-geno-smith-behind-the-shield-ep-2-our-way-of-life-2025-nfl

Not much happening on a Sat. night, or a different life from the fedi?

On this cold midwinter night, fire in the fireplace, cup of red wine, good dinner of locally caught mullet with salad from my garden. Life is good even though the world is going to shit. I feel for people in so many places who don't have this warmth, safety, full belly, tonight.

Beginning later this year, the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory will create the ultimate movie of the night sky,
repeatedly scanning the sky for a decade to create an ultra-wide, ultra-high-definition, time-lapse record of our Universe across space and over time.
The resulting dataset, called the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), will be the largest ever amassed for optical astronomy.
This enormous, all-purpose dataset will bring the night sky to life,

This past night I had a strange nightmare. For some reason unknown to me I found myself visiting the US.
Minutes after passing through all the airport checks I was detained for terrorist conspiracy... because the other day I wrote about zip bombs as a defense against adversarial thief bots.
The crazy thing about this is that I find it plausible to happen in real life.

Calamus 17 Of him I love day and night
A disturbing poem about death, the death of a lover, the death of a city, the death of the poet. And Whitman's own dismissal of death, or at least of memorializing it.
Reading this as someone who grew up in the 80s, I can only read this in reflection on the AIDS crisis. Of my own community's deaths.
And I found that every place was a burial-place,
The houses full of life were equally full of death
The poem doesn't offer any solace in this reading. It is just a marker of death and being exposed to so much death that we are inured to it.

You know what would be really cool? A #quantifiedself person influence monitor. Say I have a #Fitbit and Joe has a Fitbit, we could have them detect when we are in proximity (if both people agreed) and then it would let us know over time how being around the other person influenced us - e.g. did heart rate variability increase or decrease (do they relax us or cause stress), did we burn more calories (maybe we usually go on hikes together), did we sleep better that night, and so on.
There are definitely people in my life who I'm pretty sure have significant effects on me in both directions, it'd be awesome to quantify them.
It would also be cool if one could do this without data sharing - e.g. maybe one presses a button on ones device to indicate one has entered x's presence and again when one has exited...
Honestly, I'd totally forget to do this...so something passive would be better - e.g. when you want to start tracking the next time you are around someone you press a button and it scans for electronic signatures and identifies Bluetooth etc. uniquely so that when you are around then it auto knows and can record...
The latter raises issues of #consent and #privacy...I'm not sure how/if one could do this in an ethical manner...but I'd like to have it 😂
