annus mirabilis 🌠 ♑🪐

Over 1,400 people in six countries have been killed in an illegal war of aggression and Trump’s opposition here at home is talking about suspending gas taxes.

Israel Has Dropped 4,000 Bombs on Iran — The Same Amount as 12-Day War in a Third of the Time The death toll has already surpassed that of last year's war, with Iranian officials reporting 1,230 killed so far.

"4,000 bombs."

"Israeli military announced that it dropped as many bombs on Iran as Israel used during the entirety of the 12-day war last year over just a third of the time."

"4,000 civilian buildings in Iran have been damaged."

When I worked at Target, our loss prevention guy stole boxes of DVDs and Blu-Rays. Homie had his car parked outside the back of the store nightly.

If mass murdering children isn't enough for you to oppose this illegal war, if the myriad war crimes and religious zealotry aren't enough, if the contempt for human life and international law aren't enough...how about the fact that we are literally destroying the planet?

A report out today said that Russia's war on Ukraine has emitted over 400 million metric tons of CO2, which is roughly equivalent to all diesel engines on earth running nonstop for a year.

Multiple reports this week suggest the carbon emissions of our war on Iran will be significantly higher.

Without a genuine fondness and gratitude toward the magic of what people can use the computer to do, my criticism of the tech industry would be empty. The tech industry's problem is that it's not often about making good software that does useful things.

Despite the algorithmic parts, we live in an era of unrivaled connectivity and community when we have already made those bonds. It is possible to call a great of people in a great deal of places and have a clear conversation or share or receive data. The enemy wants to get in the way of you doing so

Synastry is an owner's manual, though, not fate. But I am grateful all the same, after close to 20 years of music appreciation.

It's just nice to know that out in the world, I can feel understood on a cosmic level by a few people, even if we never meet, which is a very Pisces thing to say. 🌌

It's comforting when music fills my soul, especially in shitty times like these.
Inspiring fuel for the journey ahead.

I can't tell if it's some bias if I look at a musician's chart and every planet is in strong aspect to every one of mine, or if it just explains the mutual understanding...

#PiscesSeason for some reason has become Music Season. Maybe that's the gift of the north node. Or Jupiter exalted. Or other transits. Venus is exalted in Pisces, so that could be it, too.

Every time the moon is in Pisces, I end up listening to a lot of music, which is why I noticed this for me.

It's storming here, lots of lightning.

I am not used to warm, stormy winters of the South. This is summer weather.

I am climate confused.

First time seeing this. Very helpful.

When will it get to the point that being a US ally is more like a liability and diplomatic relations start being severed?

This is too perfect.

I wonder what percentage of people who think they are funny are actually just mean but insulated from consequences of their mean jokes because they have social power.

If people are laughing just to avoid being the next target, that’s not a valid laugh.

The oil is flowing into the sewers and the streets are on fire in Tehran

Why does "liberation" look like massive air pollution and crippling critical energy sources?

Sure looks like a war to me.

And this is a new favorite. 😏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKHG...

My mom listened to a lot of country music when I was young — like the good shit, not whatever the fuck is masquerading as country music now.

Like when am I learning how to play a pedal steel guitar already?

People keep making music that makes me vaguely remember living in Oklahoma and Tennessee in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. youtu.be/QKHGmFvzjJ4...

I do not like Depraved Humanity Limbo...how low can we go? I'd like to not find out.😞

Not out of fear, but out of respect. My mother isn't one of my little friends. I only call her by her first name as a joke and a very rare joke at that.

Diamond mining through Heaven's Secret 3. It's boring, hopeless, and devoid of romance. Combining three stories into one was both a bad and poorly executed idea. 30 chapters of this, too. This reminds me of creating stories because the original story was popular, like MCU. #RomanceClub #RC

The say “I am alive” comic

I’m reminded of this comic almost every time I check LinkedIn

I had no idea that "Are You Lonesome Tonight" sung by Elvis Presley was a cover of a 1920s song.

I wonder what songs from this 21st century will be considered as standards later. I just...don't see that happening. 🤔
