@GlennAndTonic Yes! One of my favorite pastimes!

@OrthodoxPole81 I bought his album (via Bandcamp) just to support him. "Paradise Metal". 😃🎸🎶

@Hesycrashed I’m a late 1950s autistic, and I approve this message. 😃🤌✌️👍

Despite all the elegies, Renaissance humanism is alive and well. This week, for instance, everyone is both a classicist and film theorist. Before that … sports experts, geopolitical strategists, rhetoricians, epidemiologists…. What will everyone be next week, I wonder?

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

Doing some art material prep research over the past couple of days with Anthropic's Claude. (I have a paid account). It's interesting...to have it blatantly lie to me. Because you can't convince me it was mistaken. (I quoted the settings to it).

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

Yes, this. My financial advisor's name is Finn. He's 30 months old 😂

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

Actually, that Greek looks like his last name is Tabakis! Sorry, my bad.

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

For all my Ortho-homies: Father Dionysios Tabakikis, "Paradise Metal." You can listen on Bandcamp. Metal, drone. His first album, age 53. Enjoying here at Mole Manor.

@Hesycrashed Wow...she's really drunk ALL the Kool-Aid...LGBT, inclusivity and intersectionality, hegemony of patriarchal Christianity, and now...talking about socio-religious transgression." Lawdy.

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@Hesycrashed Just wonderful!

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@AuthorGFAllen I feel seen. 😂

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@satsyd_finsun Welcome to the Wild West, Fr. I wonder what Linux distro he rocks, though?

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@Hesycrashed Wow, I remember when book cover art like that was the norm. Good times.

Old dog, new trick (🤞). Retired IT, decided it is time to pursue a language that is not for computers 😆. I had Latin 40 years ago, so it's Koine Greek and Biblical Hebrew. So far so good. I asked myself, "If not now, when?" Prayers appreciated if you're moved to. 🙏☦️

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@Hesycrashed A matushka (and an awesome one) AND you've read Paul Bowles. Amazing. Prayers that you and Fr. Mark are having a peaceful day today.

@Hesycrashed @autoxrator At the parish food closet, some people send back their brown or other non-white eggs. Go figure. Me? I'm crazy...I just bought a dozen pastured eggs because their shells were all light green or light blue. Ha! Perfect for soft boiling, to enjoy the colors during breakfast.

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@Hesycrashed All I can say is "yum!" Also, even though I need to lose some weight, I may be forced (forced, I tell you) to get an It's-It, which I haven't had in years! Mmmmmm.

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@Hesycrashed I struggle (much less now! 🙏) with having my narrative written for me, my motives assigned to me, being told what I was thinking, even my physical pain decided as real or not. It's a bitter lesson, but the servant isn't better than his master. WAGMI!

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@Hesycrashed @satsyd_finsun I'm going to have to turn off autocorrect. I read what I'm typing and then...bam! Autocorrect "fixes" it. Grrrrrrr. Naturally I don't notice until I read comments or the like 😂

[Mark Taber @marktaber]

@Hesycrashed @satsyd_finsun One of the great records...this sing can stop me...approaching 70 years old...in my tracks.
