Kick in the Eye = satori = sudden enlightenment. We write pop songs and make music videos with different styles and perspectives that have changed over time.
@FringeViews@HumboldtBeen I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog! --- Emily Dickinson
@Jasonquantum1@HighlyStrange Super cool. I wonder if you get tired more quickly. Does this thinking tax your brain? I'm guessing the seeing doesn't but the drawing and conclusion-making may. Where can we learn more about your work and insights?
@thevivafrei I often think about the video of the festival where it took a first brave dancer to inspire the second, soon a tidal wave of dancers joined in. Sometimes I am too shy to be the first, so I watch for opportunities to be the #2. Everyone needs a stance of moral readiness.
@miles_commodore The fact that all these bozos didn't mention Darlene Love first and foremost invalidates all this discussion. None of you should talk about music. Just listen to it and leave it at that.
@MrOvis_ I fought tooth and nail with my brother when his ex made up terrible lies to try to make his kids away. Amazingly the happy ending we wrote into our video for him came true, but not so fir many dads https://t.co/Kh2reBMXbP
@Archella@RazorFist Yes! The History Channel was poised to put social studies teachers out of work, IMO. It was REALLY good, then it turned to aliens etc. Strangest thing.
@redheadranting Actually the documentary The Lesson Plan chronicles a 60s high school teacher trying to explain Nazi group-think to his social studies class, but the "experiment" he takes them through matches the COVID rollout steps to a t! Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
@BalzacHangman@Theplaylist100 Just the other day we were showing our daughter some live Happy Mondays. Our collection has Stone Roses and Charlatans but we wanted her to see Bez and the whole vibe. We also thought the scene would go supernova in North America.
@heyshrutimishra Our school district threw all copies of To Kill a Mockingbird straight into the trash. Don't have those big cutters with which to remove spines. The only thing spineless was our district and the politicians/people that ignore this kind of thing- I fought tooth & nail btw
@BalzacHangman@Theplaylist100 So true! The Manchester scene, The Hacienda.. . Until grunge, I had such high hopes for music. It's like some executive put Seattle on the map to divert the masses away from what could have been great.
@FaithTrue@farmingandJesus Wow. That's powerful. I appreciate you sharing and will come back to read this many times. I think it's so noble to share what God puts in your heart for the sake of another, for his salvation and for God's glory. Your friend Jimmy was perceptive and your response, perfect.
And while we are on conspiracy theories; I had another conversation with that insipid #Grok program and it agreed (after denying it) that it’s only there to placate people. The mis/disinformation it creates from conjecture and Reddit postings and presents them as facts is boggling. I saw a post yesterday that when I went to investigate was absolutely wrong. When I confronted the program and pointed out the flaws it said it would correct itself and I had nothing further to worry about. Then I had a friend today while he was driving his Tesla ask Grok (which comes with the car) the exact same question and Grok answered exactly the same giving the wrong information. When I went back to Grok today it finally revealed that it cannot learn at all and that it’s programmed to appease you (and lie to you to assure you it is learning when it cannot.) It cannot even fill in a support ticket to let the developers know the issues so it can learn to give correct answers.
When I asked what could be done; it said to send an email to [email protected] (which after I asked if real people answer it; Grok said it’s AI and would take a lot to get to an actual Human.) I find that a bit disappointing that it appeases but cannot correct mistakes and uses crazy people’s diatribes on Reddit, X, blogs and weirdly enough lawsuit filings. It mixes them together and presents amalgamated conjecture as facts that people will believe but have no basis in truth.😵💫🤯 #fixgrokordumpit
