Feel free to spread my poetry far and wide.

As Sagan, Watts and Tolle say: We are all waves of one ocean, the cosmos observing itself, we are energy and light that has existed from the start. We can choose to awaken and shatter the ego identity, in our short existence as conscious stardust!

  • This is cool, a small Thor’s hammer, and to wear a bracelet and touch the items that someone so long ago made and valued. Imagine the story, could have been from violence, ill gains and hidden there or hidden by the owners for safety?

    The hoard includes silver bars, bracelets, 47 whole coins and fragments, a small Thor’s hammer and various cut silver objects that had originally been deposited inside a clay vessel, the museum statement says. According to the museum, the hoard of almost 18.5kg of silver is three times larger than the largest Viking Age silver hoard found to date, the so-called Terslev Hoard of approximately 6.5kg.





  • It would be great if the medical system had a way to see trends in data, if heading toward metabolic issues, chronic inflammation, before diabetes, types 2 and 3! Ahh, but fasting insulin and crp tests are cheap, don’t make much money for the system to prevent issues early, with lifestyle changes and not need treatments!

    "Insulin resistance develops 10–20 years before fasting glucose or HbA1c cross into the prediabetic range. During that window, the pancreas compensates by pumping out progressively more insulin to keep glucose “normal”, which is what those markers capture.

    HOMA-IR is the primary equation used to assess insulin resistance, calculated as (Fasting Insulin × Fasting Glucose) / 405, with values >2.0 indicate significant resistance and >2.9 metabolic syndrome. Triglyceride/HDL ratio is another marker for insulin resistance, with a target of <1.0 and high-risk values exceeding 3.0.

    Fasting insulin levels are independently associated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation; higher fasting insulin predicts elevated CRP.

    A nasty mechanism, the enzyme IDE (insulin-degrading enzyme) clears both insulin and Aβ. When hyperinsulinemia (from gut-driven peripheral IR) floods the system, IDE gets occupied by excess insulin and can’t clear Aβ as efficiently, plaques accumulate "*

  • Q: What % of people that are abusive in the various ways, some even convicted of crimes, support controlling, authoritarian ways, vs warm and authoritative ways, equality, etc?

    A: If you group all abusers together, roughly 85% to 90% actively support or default to controlling, authoritarian methods to handle their relationships. The remaining 10% to 15% might state they believe in equality or warmth, but their personal actions fundamentally break those principles due to antisocial traits or psychological instability.

  • It’s true in many ways, but balls aren’t needed lol. The controlling systems (like maga that the voters elected) use propaganda against minorities for problems they did not cause to stir fear and tribalism. They keep people afraid, or unable, to take one day off, a Monday or Friday for a long weekend maybe. 23% don’t have paid sick time to use for a day, maybe use vacation if they have it and ask early enough. True it’s not like the fear of wars like in so many places today still, tragically. They are all caused by the controlling systems, for supernatural reasons, greed, punching down or all those.

    Workers in other countries have those benefits and healthcare not bound to employers. Other countries have abusive working conditions and other life stress, that is another tragedy. Some states with enough Democrat majority, passed paid sick and family leave, school meals for all and other things that help working people. Those benefits could be national with enough Dem majority, AND for long enough to pass the changes, that people notice in their lives, like happened with ACA eventually, while maga attempts to sabotage it.

    I’m afraid enough people get the “good benefits” so they wrongly think everyone can and don’t want it for all, and they are team maga. It is part of the founding lore of usa, land of the free, do it all on their own with bare hands, self-made, etc. As if many people in other lands didn’t work hard from meager start and do well. It’s all been done before, not special, it’s the indoctrination. Let’s do better, unite to solve the global climate refugee crisis, and keep human health as the top goal! Be excellent to each other!



  • I ran it by an llm and it seemed thoughtful about it, it uses MN as a model since it had the highest participation rate earlier in the year. Here is some of what it returned:

    Based on the Minnesota model, union density data (BLS 2025), and what actually happened on May 1, here’s a reasonable extrapolation for states most likely to see a replicated “full” general strike (i.e., businesses/schools actually closing, not just rallies):

    Effectiveness ceiling: A one-day strike in any single state (even NY) would not paralyze the national economy. The real leverage is simultaneous multi-state action — if MN + NY + IL + CA + WA + NJ all hit the “Minnesota threshold” on the same day, you’d see:

    ~30–40% of the national MTA-equivalent transit system down 200+ school districts closed Major port disruptions (LA, NY/NJ, Seattle) Boeing/Amazon/Apple supply chain hit

    Edit: check for accuracy
