Some basic AI lessons here for slow adopters. An AI model can’t process a sentence as a continuous flow of meaning. It breaks language down into discrete, countable units (called tokens), which it can analyze mathematically.

I worked on European projects and met with a diverse nationality group in cities across Europe. They always sought ot local specialities and activities to share. I was pleased to be the only Brit and to go with the flow.

‘Control the flow of ideas’

“A savvy rich man can build an apparatus out of this to spot talent, pick winners, and control the flow of ideas. All of it is allowed – in 2025, only a fool or an unambitious man need bother donating to politicians or political parties directly.” www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-p...

A positive can be triggered by cancer, exercise, age or random biological variation. A lot of the time the cancer is one that would have grown too slowly ever to be a problem. In treating it you risk harm for something harmless.

Text:

The US National Cancer Institute has a helpful flow chart. Imagine 1,000 over-55s are screened regularly. Over 13 years, 240 men come up positive. After a biopsy 100 of those would be diagnosed with prostate cancer; 80 opt for treatment. Of those, 50 would suffer erectile dysfunction, 15 incontinence. And the benefit? Between one and two prostate cancer deaths may be prevented. It is possible, though, that deaths overall would be unchanged — studies find little mortality difference in those who do and don’t screen.

Honestly, if they want to do a selfie or post something on their socials, at least do it near the front of the attraction. Not inside where it disrupts the flow for everyone.

#FaschismusInDeutschland 🇩🇪 im Jahr 2025 …

die psychologische Wurzel des faschistischen Denkens …

die Unfähigkeit, Komplexität als Lebensrealität zu akzeptieren.

C.G. Jung nannte das den kollektiven Schatten …

und viele Nationen auch 🇩🇪 leben noch immer darin.

Komplexe #SchwellenZeiten.

#noAFD🖖

Überschrift:
Faschismus in Deutschland - Was erben wir, und zu welchen Evolutionen sind wir als lernende Gesellschaft bereit?
Denn wenn wir eins aus der Geschichte gelernt haben, dann, dass wir nichts gelernt haben.
• Bildbeschreibung (Deutsch):
Das Bild zeigt den Schattenriss eines menschlichen Kopfes, aus dessen Hinterkopf geisterhafte, schreiende Gesichter hervorströmen. Diese symbolisieren den kollektiven Schatten, von dem Carl Gustav Jung sprach - die unerlösten Energien von Angst, Macht und Schuld, die sich über Generationen fortsetzen.
Die fließenden Formen deuten an, dass faschistisches Denken nicht plötzlich entsteht, sondern wie eine dunkle Strömung aus der Vergangenheit in das Bewusstseinsfeld der Gegenwart hineinwirkt.
Es ist eine Mahnung: Was wir nicht reflektieren, wiederholt sich - und die eigentliche Evolution der Gesellschaft beginnt dort, wo wir unsere Schatten erkennen und transformieren.🖖

* Image description (English):
The image depicts the silhouette of a human head from which ghostly, screaming faces emerge. These figures symbolize Carl Gustav Jung's idea of the collective shadow - the unresolved energies of fear, domination, and guilt that flow through generations.
The swirling motion suggests that fascist thought does not appear suddenly but seeps like a dark current from the past into the present consciousness field.
It serves as a reminder: what we fail to reflect, we are doomed to repeat - true societal evolution begins where we face and transform our inherited shadows.🖖

They sold the stream
that quenched the corn
a decade before
you were born

You see the lights
where cities grow:
the grass is green,
and fountains flow.

And know beyond
these #arid lands
that power drinks
with bloody hands.

Artists, what's your favorite part to draw?

I love it when I see my composition taking shape, when I can dive into backgrounds, and I love painting different objects as halos, celestial objects especially. I've been working on another big painting in a similar vein that I'm finishing soon 🔥

A portrait in colour of Director Krennic standing in front of his creation, the Death Star, with its targeting systems right behind his head. His hands are clasped together, with his pistol in his left hand. Behind him orange light and dust is coming forward, spilling into the foreground, covering him partially. Behind all of it is the dark starry sky.

A colourful painting of my OC Xander, a pale man with golden eyes and long dark hair shaven on the sides of his head. A part of his tattoos of black flames and a lemniscate on the side of his head is visible. He is wearing black robes, three strings of golden pearls in his neck and chest and a golden crown of laurel leaves. He has an ornate sword in his hand, in front of a desolate marshland with russet grass, exposed rocks, and smaller hills with trees on them that have lost their leaves already. There's a white glory behind his head as if it the Sun seen as a white disk behind such grey stormclouds would have been brought to the foreground, to be in the middle of the mountains visible behind the marshland.

A coloured painting of my OC Xander, a pale man with long, dark hair, tattoos, and jewelry, sitting on an ornate brown-gold throne. He is wearing a golden draping over one of his shoulders, leaving the majority of his torso visible, along with a deep red draping on his lower body. His tattoos on his arms are visible, with dark fiery motifs, a skull with a parchment coming from its upper jaw, and the astrological symbols of Mars, Jupiter, and the Sun, the rulers of the Zodiac signs Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo, on his arm that he is resting on the armrest of the throne, with his hand facing us. He is wearing golden jewelry: two collars on his neck and three on each of his upper arms, and he is wearing nipple piercings with golden chains on his upper body. Behind his throne a segment of a simple wall is visible on the lower half of the painting, and on the upper half of the painting there are mountains and a blue sky with clouds above the wall. The back of his throne is like a gateway to the darkness of space, it is pitch black with small glowing stars seemingly coming out of it. He is slightly turning towards the side, and his eyes are covered with a whisp of yellowish flare that appear to connect him to the Sun behind his head.

A black-and-white painting of my OC Xander, a man in water up to his waist, approaching towards the viewer. His eyes are not visible, black liquid is pouring out from the place where his eyes should be. He has long dark hair that he shoves back, the sides of his head are shaved and tattooed, and he has several dark flame tattoos down his neck, shoulder and arms, along with a motif of a parchment and a skull holding a parchment with text on his left shoulder. Ports are visible on his body throughout (he is a Space Marine OC). The dark liquid from his eyes have accumulated behind him as he's approaching, and with his hand he seems to direct its flow forward, too. Behind him is a black hole enclosed in an armillary sphere with ornate rings. The front, horizontal ring has the Roman numerals XVI, XVII and XVIIII on it, there are two rings very tightly closing up the black hole, and two outer, concentric rings. The uppermost ring has the texts "XVI - LA MAISON|DIEV", "XVII - L'ESTOILLE" and "XVIIII - LE SOLEIL" on it, along with the alchemical symbols of sulphur, the element of fire, and the Sun, as well as the symbols of the following in pairs: the Sun - the zodiac sign of Leo, Jupiter - Sagittarius, Mars - Aries. The lower part of the rings is lit strongly. On the upper part of the painting, above the rings, the distortion of the black hole is visible on the background stars and interstellar medium as their images get "flattened" around the curved surface of the outermost ring.
