Thank you, that's sweet. However, I didn't install it, nor did it scare me.

I was pointed to it by someone, and didn't need it as I already have an alarm on my phone, but read the small text anyway out of curiosity. I actually thought it was quite funny. Although I agree with you it's funny in a harrowing way, just as capitalism almost always is.

The app is recommended by some therapists. I think those therapists may be in need of some therapy themselves.

Also I REALLY recommend everyone to read the Terms Of Service (especially about privacy & costs) before installing ANY app. It's quite unbelievable what people will install without checking, and what commercial app stores (Google, Apple) will allow.

Last month observed temperature anomalies more than 5°C above the 1981-2010 average across parts of Siberia. Elsewhere, most areas were also anomalously warm, except around the Fram Strait/Greenland Sea and Hudson Bay.

Forest’s Scarlet Jewel

Here’s an image I captured yesterday morning—a northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) in mid-flight, taking off from a stand of trees. The way I’ve framed it gives the image a subtle 3D effect, adding depth and movement to the scene.

Apparently #PerplexityAI CEO is annoyed that people are sharing that article where he is quoted saying that their browser will track everything users do to sell more ads.

> “That’s kind of one of the other reasons we wanted to build a browser, is we want to get data even outside the app to better understand you,” Srinivas said.

This is that article, in case you'd like to share it:

As summer in the Northern Hemisphere approaches, it is important to keep in mind how temperatures are changing... 🌡️

Shifting distribution to the right ➡️ increasing societal risks from extreme heat.

The driver? Humans... The burning of fossil fuels.

In Medieval Germany, they had what was called Marriage Duels, where a husband and wife could physically fight each other.

To make things fair, the husband had to stand in a hole with one hand tied behind his back, holding a sword in his free hand, while the woman hit him with a bag of rocks.

I'm going to bring this up every time someone has a problem with No Fault Divorce.

Mark Zuckerberg wanted to fly his helicopter from his gigantic superyacht to go skiing on Swedish mountains and offered villagers tens of thousands, but they flat out refused, saying the noisy chopper would disturb their reindeer

"That billionaires would fly private jets to luxury yachts, then board helicopters to chase the last snow-covered peaks in Europe—while attempting to silence Indigenous voices—is being seen as a microcosm of global environmental inequality."

Ik durf te wedden dat ik dat jacht een poosje terug naast de A10 in de haven zag liggen. Bij de werf van Feadship. Zo hoog dat het boven de A10 uittorende - en die zweeft op dat stuk al enkele meters boven de eronder gelegen straten.

We grapten nog: zo sneu voor de eigenaar dat er niet een gezelliger haventje was om aan te meren. Je zal je lief maar in die grauwe omgeving op een van de dekken willen trakteren op een candle light dinner 🙃

I love discovering personal blogs and websites.

No algorithm.
No competing anything.

Just a person, putting out what they want.

It's beautiful.
