I went to bed early. The digs woke me up. It seemed like more fireworks than previous years. It already 7:30 am 2026 here ... a bit more chilly than is comfortable - burning some bamboo.

🚨 Bs! Bs!

From the first sighting of a colossal squid in the wild to a seriously goofy octopus, 2025 delivered some astounding photos from the ocean’s depths

I have always wanted a wood-burning fireplace and we are staying with family who have one, anyway I have hijacked the fireplace three nights running and this is a Wood-Burning Fireplace Stan account now.

I have been unable to shake an eerie sense of teamwork between Russia and China. It may well not be intentionally coordinated; might just be my imagination. Russia leading a distraction campaign while China tops off its industrial infrastructure. IMHO That's been accomplished - done and dusted.

AI is advancing sooooooooo fast!!! PS: I'm still a bit sad that the idea of "race" gets perpetuated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZsr...

Well I see my little experiment last night worked as anticipated. Posted a few things that upset some people. Some days you have to really think about what you read. If I lose followers because I speak my mind, well, maybe it’s not me. It’s you.

“the US military only had the legal authority to conduct strikes against suspected traffickers at sea, not on land” 30 boats blown up & 100 people murdered. Now a land strike with no legal authority & no intelligence provided by US Special Operations. A terrifying & illegal escalation:

Keyu Jin, as a teen moved, solo, to the US to further her educational goals. IMHO she is freaky smart and expresses herself in ways that help me understand. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyu_Jin This is some kind of AI representation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVxo...

There a simple Buddhist check list: What is it? How strong was it? How long did it last? Let us know how long you are able to hang on the the delusion that any rules of law apply to this regime, OK? I know you still believe they do. How? Where? When? By whom?

Am I understanding correctly that such action tends to be inflationary? It devalues the dollar, doesn't it?

Awww ... I watched a silly compilation of Thai commercials, last night. BRB I'll grab a section. PS: I bought my iPad at such a store, took it home, locked myself out, took it back, shipped to BKK and learned not to use password. Very nice helpful people!!

Newer modelling increasingly narrowing period of stronger stratospheric westerlies & deceleration in zonal wind in mid January. This would increase the likelihood of January 2026 being persistently cold evidently early month will be. If things fall right it could be a very cold winter month.

I just heard a person state, with conviction, the "the war", of this time, is being fought over the periodic table. How cool is that?? --------------------------- Last time I used this word, I was called a pompous ass. Fuck it! That is a damn fine sine-qua-non. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdzB...

I feel strange saying this, BUT - maybe there was some long term thinking when this administration turned away from "in house" solar research and development. If I could accept that, as the realization of, China can't be competed with. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdzB...

Quite frankly, I can't keep up with this shit. I think it is because of a lack of motivation and some kind of anal retentive attachment to rationality. www.huffpost.com/entry/vagueb...
