Kairos: The ancient Greek art of knowing when to actChronos beats his time drum and I'll let you in on an arcane fact few people know. Time can't be measured. There's no begining where it could "start" and so there's likewise no "stop" point, either. It's always changing based on the solar system, also, so even if you hypothetically found a stating point, it would be wrong in an instant.
Kairos was apparently the Greeks' answer to this problem. He makes time definite by choosing his timing.
It's not an easy thing to do and I imagine it's become even more difficult as kind of "analysis paralysis" can develop as society becomes an instrument of distraction in itself.
I love classics. I never put much time in it but I do intend to learn Latin (not spoken) and to study classical literature and mythology.
My digital Casio got "touched" when I was moving it and started to chime on the hour. I don't argue with it.

Trump had a physical last weekSince they're a buch of con artists who don't believe in their own "conservative ideas" and a bunch of psychopaths (along with plenty of Democrats) who when you say "war crimes," they hear, "It's Sunday," I guess they have no choice (especially being authoritarian and/or Christian nationalist maniacs by nature) except to act as if Trump's cult of personality is the glue holding them together.
I should probably edit this into several sentences but you get my meaning.

Kairos: The ancient Greek art of knowing when to act@axtremus No worries. It's relatively alive for something that's dead.

OperaTenorI'm sorry to hear that.
He introduced me to WTF and I will always be grateful.

Has somebody already posted this? Maybe a pianist's touch affects the sound, after all?@mary-anna As you know, I don't play and am not really equipped to discuss such arcane details, but I'm going to bet based on intuition that the answer is definitely yes. I reckon this is true for the same reason that as a bass line (no pun intended) the absence of touch is silence. My 2 cents.

In comparison to Chronos.
Time is my favorite topic full stop.
I thought this was interesting and this is my first time hearing about it.
My self taught classics education needs remedial attention! I at least know Latin is a dead language. Lol!
I hope everyone is having a pleasant Sunday.

CBS Scholarship winner acceptance speechI only wish that human beings could bring themselves to admit to themselves and others that they have been and are watching a live streamed genocide in Gaza and other places in Palestine.
We were taught to, "never forget." We were taught to believe in international law. We taught ourself that, "holocaust" is a word that no group of human beings owns.
The new owner of CBS is a Zionist billionaire that has given more money to the IDF than anyone in history.
CBS does not, as no media conglomerate does, operate under the FCC framework that we remember because the framework has been demolished.
CBS is now the definition of propaganda.
No true journalist can work for it as a reporter. The people who work at CBS now are stenographers.
This young person is promising because he hasn't agreed to betray journalism by being a stenographer.
I agree completely that everyone must make their way in the world.
I understand on the other hand that this is entirely possible to do without supporting a holocaust.

CBS Scholarship winner acceptance speechWait till he sells his soul to the devil in a manner of speaking?
Good, independent minded people must exist in the world, or the sun and earth might as well collide into each other tomorrow.
Besides, there is independent media. If I repeat it 1,000 times, will I be believed?
Genocide. I said it.
Because, as Aristotle famously said-- A is A.
Anyone can say it, and mean it.
Or are we supposed to believe saying a self-evident truth is beyond the pale?
It so, why in hell?
If he "offended" CBS, too damn bad.

And so it begins. (weather)June 1 marks the start of hurricane season.
It looks like in the middle to late next week a storm will hit Florida on the Gulf coast somewhere and move east and north before exiting the state. I can't tell that there's any reason as of now to believe that it will be a named storm. It will probably be a lot of rain but with no real chance of flooding my neighborhood.

FIFA World Cup 2026No. Not my sport. BTW, Motorola has a flip phone in license with them. Like the green color but don't want a flip phone.

Karens@mik It's a strange thing. There was one at the house across the street. She was blocking the driveway. She said, "Can I help you?!" I said, "Yes, you can get out of my way so I can pass." She jumped out of the way and I turned my back on her. I haven't and won't speak to her again. We stayed there for 3 months in 2018. She knew who I was on the day I moved in. These people are impossible.

More lawfare@wtg Vincent Foster likely was killed but whatever the case Bill (and Hillary) sailed through everything without a problem. We all know Bill and Hillary (and their foundation) did business with Epstein and that Bill was part of Epstein's inner circle.
-
More lawfareI don't disagree with Mik.
Also, it was in Trump's nature, out of the horse's mouth, that he had the idea of imprisoning his political enemies. That's a hard no in this country. Or, it was in the past.
@wtg Of course you are aware that Trump has built and is building concentration camps in part for those he considers his political enemies.
It's an ugly thought but it's a fact.
Also, of course you're aware he was impeached twice. I don't know if those attempts were frivolous or not since the votes to remove by the Senate were known to not exist.

9 bowel movements -
Ice cream without the junkMy favorite is Publix Greenlee USDA organic vanilla.
It's only $5.53 for a quart.
I eat it all even though it's more than one serving.
I don't care.
If I'm being honest, it has too much air in it, but I can live with it.

Gas station scamsI plan to get receipts and never let anyone approach me and I'll make sure the pump resets.
At almost $5 I don't doubt scammers are as ubiquitous as mosquitoes.

More lawfareWell, Trump had a 1st term and he campaigned on imprisoning his political opponents. "Lock her (Hillary Clinton) up" was one of his campaign slogans. So I don't think he got the idea from Biden.
