"ICE has once again killed two innocent individuals. When 52-year-old husband and father Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot a week ago in Houston, DHS lied that he had “weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer.” A week later, when 26-year- old husband and father Joan Sebastian Guerrero was killed in Biddeford, Maine, DHS retreated to the meaningless claim that the agent who shot Guerrero was “fearing for public safety.” ICE has shared no evidence from videos or witnesses about what actually happened in either case. It has not told us who those agents, acting and killing in our name, are. We do know that they were supposed to be looking for men other than the ones they shot. And we’ve been told they were not wearing body cameras."   by William Kristol   The Bulwark   

  Our Lady of Good Hope       At our holy roman catholic church is an eclectic group of followers who appreciate the mass (religious service) as it has been for a very long time  The atmosphere is serious  Tradition and rules abound but we all appreciate the fact that little change has occurred by the edicts of Rome since the 4th century BC  Afterwards we gather to relax in community and share food and stories something we all look forward too, especially the occasional ridiculous which is humorous - like Paul’s bananas  Grotesque to look at but still good to eat (so we are told) Time to laugh   A meeting with serious intent can end up being fun    

 Become a politician,  a magician,  slight of hand, than a man, never female, distract me so, never war to go.

Still pools keep algae to a minimum with aeration  This pond was so green the sand bottom could not be seen  Since then a neighbor has taken up the cause to reverse algae blooms and the oxygen they consume by laying pipes almost the entire length of the pond and pumping in air  All ponds in this area use this accepted method to keep local still waters free of algae  It is a wonder this method is not used for the Washington Reflection Pool -  If it is used  does it work? The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has been plagued by algae blooms and peeling paint following a recent renovation The Virginia contracting firm Atlantic Industrial Coatings will now receive $13.1 million to repair the reflecting pool, the Times reported. The firm previously worked on the swimming pools at Trump's Sterling, Virginia, golf club and was awarded a no-bid contract last month. The Interior Department reportedly added $6.2 million to the existing contract last week. Today our p...

 DOG In theory, handing tasks off to coding agents should free up time, allowing larger blocks for deep work and rest. But some developers are having the opposite experience. Instead of allowing for greater focus, the latest AI tools are overwhelming workers, frazzling minds and shredding attention spans. Although agents can do plenty more work now than they could a year ago, they still need human oversight. Like toddlers,  AI agents  ask endless follow-up questions, require detailed instructions—and, if you leave them unsupervised, are liable to make a huge mess. Once you get several running simultaneously, there’s no time for breaks. As “the author” puts it on LinkedIn, his job is to be an “AI babysitter.” As most people who use AI know, the above is general practice, something like owning a new puppy.  Fun, if you’re into this sort of thing and just as messy without continual guidance.  Is AI worth the effort?

 Putin is a joke who makes you cry  There is no reason for his actions because they amount to nothing but fear and pain    Путин — это посмешище, от которого хочется плакать. В его действиях нет никакого смысла, ведь они несут лишь страх и боль.       Jack Benny let you laugh in an unassuming way He was real entertainment in the fifties without gore, just grace and style    Джек Бенни позволял смеяться легко и непринужденно. В пятидесятые он был воплощением настоящего развлечения — без кровавых сцен, лишь с изяществом и стилем.     y    

    If your looking for solutions, there are none.  This will save you some reading time.  If you want to know why, keep reading.   Bipolar (manic depression) is a neurological manifestation, not a disease that can not be cured with thought or medication.  It occurs from birth or from trauma and interrupts your life for as long as you live.  This is a personal definition only, not a guide.    When delusion is limited with the aid of medication perceptions once enjoyed no longer exist. Therefore a life without delusion no longer accepts the very experiences that at one time defined that life. Consequently the relationships that were born of delusion must be rebuilt. It’s fair to assume, that once reconstructed, they will not mirror any previous state of mind. The loss of the unreal creates a need to reconstruct what is real and it is accomplished more so by necessity than choice. Being able to experience both delusion and hallucinati...

 We speak of forgotten sins to boast and pass the time, With laughter in our mouths our souls attempt sublime, Is confession the only cure for ignorant despair? A public cry for absolution fills the air, Thus man in consolation begs forgiveness fair.

"You would  think more brains would be desirable, they got plenty of theses"      “In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success.  We will not forget our country, we will not forget our Constitution, and we will not forget our God.” President Donald J. Trump – January 20, 2025

I like living things nearby, from a dock full of turtles to the endless appearance of lizards my dog likes to chase  Siamese fighting fish display complex behavioral patterns and social interactions, which vary among individual specimens.

“For most of human history, complexity was absorbed by stable structures around us. Kingdoms, religious orders, governments, corporations and communities made decisions on behalf of individuals, either directly or through shaping opportunities available to them. A person inherited their identity, geography, profession and even world view, often leading to conformity by choice, which was then reinforced through cultural norms. Life may not have been fair or optimal, but it was structurally legible. That arrangement is unravelling. Today, the individual must navigate levels of complexity once reserved for institutions.

  It begins in the home   Children if they are fortunate and grateful are made successful by parents who have the means, or sometimes sacrifice what little they have to move society forward with well informed citizens   The political definition of loyalty isn't much different   Jobs are awarded to those who are capable and bend to the will of a supreme patriarch   Power is never wasted and paid for by LOYAL recipients   Individuals who assume more power than they have been granted or make poor decisions that embarrass the parental type leader are banished if not from the house but some forever   History doesn't lie, people do
