They called Мама, не смотри телевизор (Mama, Don’t Watch TV), which comes 10 months after Russia invaded Ukraine: “ The music of our anger , indignation, disagreement, a reproachful desperate cry against Putin’s bloodthirsty puppets, led by a real cannibal monster, whose place is in the infinity of fierce hellish flames on the bones of the victims of this terrible war.” By Laura Snapes The Guardian Sat 24 Dec 2022 04.00 EST

A brave man from a brave country extends his appreciation for American assistance during the war with Russia.

As a student teacher, I met children who had very little.  Of course, there were those who had a sufficient life.  That made an impression on me and it prompted this poem.  Values are created in part by what we have and don't have. Santa Claus makes all children happy, the ones who have and those who have not - at least in this poem.    SANTAHOOD IS COMING TO TOWN a strange and wondrous tale by charles mistretta 93'     ONCE UPON A MIDNIGHT DREARY, I GRABBED MY BAG IN SUCH A FURY, WANTING TO PLEASE LITTLE GIRLS AND BOYS. THOSE REINDEER GROANED AND MUSED WITH RANCOR, THEN NEVER WAS HEARD SUCH SNORTS OF BANTER, QUIVERING I FILLED MY SACK WITH TOYS. THE NIGHT SO FULL ANTICIPATING, WONDROUS DONATIONS COMMISERATING, DID I DESERVE THIS GIFT TO PLEASE? OLD BONES RACKED WITH AR

Keep it up. People will die of boredom while Putin plays the fool to people who are stronger than he is.

“The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted on Tuesday to halt a plan to allow police robots to use lethal force following a backlash.” “The board voted unanimously to pause the plan for now, but sent the issue back to committee for discussion and may vote to allow it in limited cases in the future.” See article from THE HILL

Some blind people seem to be able to see without being conscious of it. “So, what does blindsight tell us about consciousness? Exactly how you answer this question will heavily depend on which interpretation you accept. Do you think that those who have blindsight are in some sense conscious of what is out there or not?” ‘If they’re not, then blindsight provides an exciting tool that we can use to work out exactly what consciousness is for. By looking at what the brain can do without consciousness, we can try to work out which tasks ultimately require consciousness. From that, we may be able to work out what the evolutionary function of consciousness is, which is something that we are still relatively in the dark about.” “On the other hand, if we could prove that people with blindsight are conscious of what is in front of them, this raises no less interesting and exciting questions about the limits of consciousness. What is their consciousness actually like?

Early computing A primitive processor run home computer and a three hundred baud modem were all that was needed to communicate over the internet in the beginning of what became social media. Ascii graphics, not fancy colored video were the pictures of the day. This was all line by line stuff using software which wasn’t always forgiving. In the 90’s and before, it was just nerd stuff for the few interested in computer technology, something that has become every day life for most of our needs. I exchanged email with a family who lived on the Iditarod trail, an annual long distance sled dog race from Anchorage to Nome Alaska. Another person of interest was a Russian engineering student, and a biology teacher from Turkey. As graphics improved we exchanged pictures. My vision expanded to places I could never have traveled to. It was spectacular. While working as a computer tech for IBM I spoke to people from all over the

When we write we define who we are, or wish to be, even lament who we never were. This self examination changes nothing until we do something, an idea reminiscent of congress. The seed of the idea is to keep going by flowering and bear fruits not so much for ourselves but for others. As we trudge on our need and necessity to be productive beyond self sustenance eventually wanes assuming illness isn’t the real battle. Must we have a reason for being, or not being, that is a question?

“ If “stolen election” refers only to voter fraud, there is clearly no evidence to support the claim.” Mr. Trump lost the 2020 election as did many who lost their lives, their occupations, and the countless who are unable to accept democracy in America What was stolen was what we believe to be our political heritage for courage and accountability

Why life as we have known it While we look to the past That life did not last Here we are on a new path One step in front of the other Onward while we trample our brother Not all suffer not all spoil Some brave change and make new The world is ours if we knew How not to kill each other Chomu zhyttya, yakym my yoho znayemo Poky dyvymosya v mynule Te zhyttya ne tryvalo Osʹ my na novomu shlyakhu Odyn krok pered inshym Vpered, poky brata topchemo Ne vsi strazhdayutʹ, ne vsi psuyutʹsya Deyaki smilyvi zminy ta stvorennya novoho Svit nash, yakby my znaly Yak ne vbyvaty odyn odnoho

I was scammed! The PayPal invoice is legitimate. After doing some research I found that anyone can create a Pay Pal invoice. Their plan was to have me open my bank account to see if I had been charged, then run a program from them to correct the problem. I didn't go for it and hung up and turned off my phone. Grammar and use of English is a giveaway. There was a link to this bitcoin scam when I researched it. I should have searched while talking to them. Other giveaways: they asked me if I was alone, did I use Zelle a way to send and receive money, discouraged the use of virtual private network. I waited for a solution when I should have given it more thought. Do people think that all of us who are of age are inept? Why would anyone buy $349.00 worth of bitcoins, and with PayPal? Don’t play with these theives, if you didn't create the transaction simply hangup and alert your bank.
