Sundays. Yet another day where everybody's feeding the plagiarism machines.

Autumn's faces

One's pain is the evening's doomscrolled gossip of another. Oh, and remember that everything is pretty much for sale.

Morning everyone. This is a reminder that right-wing and fossil fuel propaganda is alive and, in fact, thriving worldwide. Raise awareness!

The Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment just published a study that shows how climate change affects excess mortality in Europe. The results are devastating. The study found climate change is responsible for 68% of the 24400 heat deaths this past summer across European cities

Random thought. We willingly let work take over everything that we do. And the deadliest poison for our lives are all the times we do it unwillingly.

The only artists I know who use AI in any capacity with absolutely no disclosure at all, are con artists

I wanna start the day with some positivity today . So here's a few shots from the Greek south , a couple of weeks ago.

Exercise caution when using AI as an absolute for information validation. It's like trusting a spokesperson outside a library who can tell you anything you want,as long as it's approved by their boss. The greater the distance between you and the information,the easier it's manipulated or distorted

Elon doesn't miss a chance. I'm reading that he took part in the far right rally in London. It seems the far right rallies in Germany half a year ago weren't enough for him . He called for the dissolution of the parliament. I guess he's gonna keep popping up in far right gatherings like a superhero

A beautiful sunny Sunday morning where Greece is producing over 80% of its power from renewable sources. Cleaner air to breathe and cheaper electricity prices for everyone! If Greece can do it , imagine what the rest of the world can. This is a reminder that fossil fuels are a dead end.

Not that Europe doesn't have its major issues, but im quite positive America has gone completely insane. I just read that Fox News advocated killing the homeless??!! Is this a videogame? what?

Saturdays

It's terryfing how many people in power are actually incredibly stupid. Remember, people in power amplify division to gain more money. It seems it has become a law of the universe.

I don't know who, but apparently, someone in the EU parliament asked for a minute's silence to remember Charlie Kirk . Of course, it was denied. Good . Why the hell would EU parliament members honor in any way a right-wing influencer ?

Videoart. The capacity to experience . In the dead silence. In complete darkness. The observer . You .

So , a young guy who built a career on bigotry, racism, division , anger,a man who publicly stated that certain groups of people should be stoned , that women are not owners of their bodily functions, and that collaterals are OK as long as people keep their guns , was killed by someone with a gun

Early morning thoughts. Big corporations like Google,Meta,X , Volkswagen, Apple, BMW, and Samsung often experiment with anti-consumer tactics and then claim its accidental when they weigh up the cost and negative PR.

You got this amazing ability to step outside your own thoughts and observe them. Most people identify in totality with their mental chatter, but when you manage to observe your thoughts and emotions with a bit of detachment, their grip on you is reduced, and you create space for conscious choice.

Influencers and content creators are the “laugh track of the 21st century. Like an old FRIENDS episode where you hear the audience laugh and you think ,oh, this is the funny part . It seems that people only know how to experience things by watching other people experience things .

Sunday is a good day for visual experimentations using more traditional means and materials. Here's a mixed media abstract geometric composition. Sunday's Pop Art #abstract #art #mixedmedia

A framed abstract photography collage. Intentional camera movement shots , blurry, long exposure shots of city lights layered into a night cityscape abstraction. #photography #collage #abstract #art #icm

I'm doing some catching up on tech news . Just saw that Apple will begin terminating your FaceTime call if it detects nudity. So I gotta ask . How does apple now? I mean , your private video calls aren't private at all , right ? It means that Apple checks what the cellphone camera sees, right?

So I've read that Microsoft laid off 9000 employees and then a Microsoft head guy told these people to use AI to feel better. WHAT? So, thousands of people lose their jobs. This causes instant financial and mental struggle. And this piece of shit finds it appropriate to advertise/push AI this way

July! Black and white nature perspectives in times when everyone's screaming at your face that the world is either black or white. But we know it isn't, don't we.

Emotions might be thoughts without words. I stopped thinking for a passing moment.

In a world full of deliberate mismanagement and reactive counterproductive decisions based on nothing but ego, megalomania, and short-term profits , practicing staying offline now and then is great for your mental and physical health.

Actor Jonathan Joss was shot and killed just outside his old house yesterday. That house was burned down and his dog was slaughtered in a previous attack. Jonathan was threatened because he was gay in a conservative neighborhood. Police ignored his previous reports.

Here's a sobering reminder for the lonely souls. Dating has become a full-scale for-profit digital industry and as such these companies have every incentive to keep you in the dating pool. They make money from your subscription, from the ads you see, from selling your personal data.

"There's simply no polite way to tell people they've dedicated their lives to an illusion." Daniel Dennet. I may not be as much of a proponent of materialism or physicalism as Mr. Dennet ever was but his words resonate today in many ways all over the world. Economics, politics, faith, relationships.

It doesn't matter how fast or efficient you are with your work if you lose perspective of why you're doing it in the first place.The digital world's set on making you forget this insult to your emotional,creative,productive faculties by challenging you to be a source of entertainment or be invisible

Here's a thought. If a company abandons a product,it should be within consumer rights for the abandoned software to become open-source,so that it can be maintained, updated and remain useful. Digital planned obsolescence is an attack to ownership. This should be part of the right to repair movement

Morning reminder. The reason books have covers is so you can judge whether or not you want to read them. Sometimes people are like books.

"Dear fellow traveler. Be kind to the creatures you encounter in your dreams. For they are travellers just like we are, and we are just as real as they are ." VideoArt Warning ⚠️ flashing images in rapid succession.

A walk in the park. Abstract photography collage. The cityscape's hiding behind the yellow fog. It's a form of noise that you get to breathe. Pop art expressions of urbanization clashing with signs of nature. A shillouete of a man, sitting alone. fineartamerica.com/featured/par...

At what point does unsustainability become part of the conversation? What conversation you ask? Any and every is a sobering answer. I was listening to a prominent uni professor reluctantly admitting that the effects of global warming we're experiencing today weren't expected for another 15 years.

Oh I just love Sam Tucker's latest take on Apple " We like money a lot..we've almost got all of it" 😄

Early morning reminder. My life goals are not someone else's problem. I think it's a good survival tactic in this wild, wild world to avoid people that systematically make their life goals someone else's problem.

There truly is a difference between educated and intelligent,just like the difference between book-smart and street-smart. You can be educated and still lack critical thinking skills & morals. Just cause you perform brain surgery doesn't mean you don't run red lights or flip birds at homeless people

So I read that Klarna,UPS,Duolingo, and Cisco are actively replacing workers with AI. Karna's CEO proudly declares that they haven't hired a single person in a year. But they have no problem firing people left and right. Infact many corporations move to limit remote work to push people to resign.

Sunday , May 4th . Oh, these warm sunny Sundays. Summer's approaching fast . Hope you have a great day!

Gary Kasparov, the former Russian world chess champion, said that Trump is using Putin's methods. The goal is to continuously exhaust the public with his tactics so they end up drained of resolve . I think it's having an effect worldwide.

Got evidence that we might be living in a video game guys. I'm having trouble believing it but i just saw Trump posted an AI generated image of himself as a Pope. That's the president pretending to be a prominent religious leader. Yet another global wave of ridicule

The tough truth is that you need to exert self-control. There's a good chance your daily life will get an improvement. It's easier said than done because it feels as if we're somehow collectively trained from a young age to do the opposite.

Here's a hot take. Sugar is like any addictive substance, except it is the most accessible and deceptively, innocently portrayed drug for decades. It's hard to avoid because it's added literally everywhere due to it being addictive and very low cost . Consumers are being manipulated into bad health

Random thought. There's nothing particularly unique about the existential desperation to be unique. We are all the same, and we are all unique. Even cutting-edge science has trouble figuring out if your perception of red is my perception of red, etc. Personal experience and perception make us unique

Flowers always help. And that's a fact. boxdnegativ.etsy.com/listing/1866...

May 1st . A good day to remember that big corporations get away with pretty much everything because they assume that people don't have the energy, the time and money to fight back. Support local businesses. Support small businesses. Support the little guy and not the Goliaths of commerce.

Hey guys . Early morning reminder. Ignorance is bliss until it isn't. Even falling feels like flying until you hit the ground.
