My life is a constant tension between

a. Wanting to be All The Prepared, meet All The #Deadlines, make Everyone Happy, Time All The Management

b. Wanting to # live my life, not #grind it away; to #create, #explore, #love my loved ones; to minimize the % of my life involving #email; to not beat my head against things I don't enjoy

Thus, my life looks like a rolling disaster, sometimes, to some kinds of people.

#FoxNews removing their stock ticker reminds me of this quote...

"Reality is that which refuses to go away when I stop believing in it."

#QuestionOfTheWeek #Reality

When I saw the first #penguin picture in the morning, I thought about a late April Fools joke. After the third pic I googled #Trump and #penguins for a meme joke.

I used to think I was a tough journalist who could easily recognise when something couldn't possibly be real.

I give up. #Reality has become crazier than any imagination because nobody stops this dangerous felon and jester. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/03/donald-trump-tariffs-antarctica-uninhabited-heard-mcdonald-islands

So, mein #Paypal Account ist jetzt auch endlich Geschichte.

Verbliebene US-Links:

Meine #bank gibt #Visa Debit Karte aus, muss ich derweil mit Leben.

Und #Video & #tv sind eine Herausforderung, das Angebot von K-und C-Serien auf Scheibe bzw. in Mediatheken & Brit-Box etc. ist winzig & ich brauch Untertitel; habe mich schließlich für #Viki Pass entschieden; Subsidiary von Rakuten (Japan) wenn auch in Kalifornien gelistet; kostet im Jahr desselbe wie 2 Monate Netflix.

Indeed, an "ideal fit" for the once-venerated event: humor mixed with calling #Truth to power / #fascism / #racism

She is an amazing source of energy and #reality - so of course she's been axed....

No sense of humor - or #reality, much less #ContextAndPerspective among the #GQP #cult of #denial & #disinformation

Shame, shame on this assault on #journalism - #reality - #integrity

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way a person looks at reality, then you can change it.

Welcome to the dumbed-down #GQP #AlternativeFacts land of lower (or no) #education, 24/7 #disinformation and buried #reality - Bye bye #history / #facts

Hello Ministry of #Truth & #Doublespeak

Why? Perhaps because those designing these restrictions have only encountered #nudity through pornography, lacking real-world experience with #Naturism. Their limited exposure leads them to conflate being #Nude with sexual content, reinforcing a cycle of ignorance. Meanwhile, the porn industry itself perpetuates harmful stereotypes, fueling unrealistic expectations, addiction, & exploitation — all while overshadowing the #natural & holistic #reality of the human #body. (2/2)

"Imagine if we had the depth and reach to compel the legacy media to make this the story for months on-end. To compel them to go after this actual scandal like a dog worrying a bone, just like the Right intimidated the legacy media into pounding non-scandals like "Her emails..." and Benghazi and Whitewater and on and on and on into the ground."
