Today I learned:
The Earth is heating up at a rate equivalent to four to six Hiroshima atomic bombs per second, with the majority of that heat being absorbed by the oceans.

Just finished a mountain bike ride at the same time as two 50-ish white dudes.
While resting, I heard their conversation. All about trucks and tires and SUVs for wives.
So boring and empty.
Told my wife about it. "Now imagine dating them. I tried not to date truck men"

Pursuit of empathy is something that took me far to long to realize was important.
I'm still working on applying it in all / most situations.
Somehow, self preservation/ prioritization feels so normal.
The people that are easy to love and follow lead with empathy.

If she was a huge star, I'd believe it. Yet somehow, she isn't.

I think that a great song placement was Davis Karsten Daniels' "Oh, Heaven Isn't Real" at the end of the @thisamericanlife.org episode about atheism.
David wrote the song as a praise hymn for atheists and it was perfect as a punctuation for that episode.

Someone didn't think to create a "your flight was cancelled and we booked you on a flight tomorrow" message at @southwestairlines.bsky.social
So we get "we call this you time".
Thanks #southwestairlines

I think it's a challenge to have someone in a non-transferable role in your life
1) realize they will never have the capacity for honesty and empathy that your chosen relationships do
2) spend time with them
3) give them honesty and empathy
4) accept that they can't without it being painful

"Ouch My Balls" TV from Idiocracy (2001) is now ChiveTV in gyms.
Social media has gone from people you know in real to being mostly news posts or people whose job is to post very interesting things.
What could have connected us...isn't.
I like the BeReal model of must post to see.
