I - The Culmination of Seperation "But for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing dignified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, appearance to essence... truth is considered profane, and only illusion is sacred. Sacredness is in fact held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness." - Feuerbach | Preface to the second edition of The Essence of Christianity
//The Wire//2300Z March 21, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: MAJOR FIRE SHUTS DOWN HEATHROW AIRPORT, ALL AIRCRAFT DIVERTED FOR SOME TIME. UKRAINE AID FLIGHTS CONTINUE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- United Kingdom: This morning a fire broke out at an electrical substation providing power to Heathrow Airport, prompting mass cancellations of all flights. The airport's backup generators were also affected by the fire, leading to a total electrical outage at the airport. All aircraft at the airport were grounded during the crisis, and all incoming aircraft were diverted to other airports or returned to their point of origin. AC: So far, no cause of the substation fire has been released, however British media is reporting that counterterrorism police are leading the investigation into the incident. Ukraine: American military and financial aid to Ukraine has continued, with multiple shipments of arms arriving over the past few days. Several logistics flights have been noted by aircraft watchers since the resumption of aid was announced by the White House two weeks ago. Zelenskyy himself confirmed that a fresh shipment of F-16 fighter aircraft had arrived on Wednesday, however he did not specific their point of origin. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - Executive actions continue as before. President Trump has expressed interest in the United States joining the British Commonwealth of Nations, which has resulted in many questions regarding what this means. President Trump also signed an Executive Order closing the Department of Education, and returning educational authority to the States. AC: This order is not an outright closure, but phrased in a manner that effectively removes the Department of Education from having any power or responsibilities. As the removal of a cabinet position is a large undertaking, time will tell how this order is put into place. Texas: One Amazon freight transport was looted by locals after suffering a mechanical breakdown on the interstate in Dallas yesterday. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: The looting of various logistical means of transportation is by no means a new development, but certainly something to be aware of due to warmer weather increasing the potential for the arrival of looting season. This will probably be a factor that plays into the already complicated (and increasingly expensive) world of logistics. From trade tariffs to missiles in the Red Sea, the costs of moving cargo around the world have become much more volatile over the past year, with wide swings in the costs of moving freight being observed on the Freightos Baltic Index over the past few months especially. Volatility has been a common theme among all markets since the US Presidential election, however now that the last-mile of logistics is becoming increasingly more susceptible to looting, this is yet another factor that will drive up the costs for consumers.

13 year old son asked to borrow Blood Merridian by Cormac McCarthy. I looked at baby-mama and her eyes said 'no' and I agreed. Instead, I handed him a copy of A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K. Dick (everyone needs at least a little Dick in their life). I felt envious for some reason... The moment was a reminder of Nietzche and his teachings, that becoming a Child should be the goal of all adults. In Nietzsche's philosophy, the child represents the final stage of spiritual transformation, symbolizing innocence, forgetting, and a new beginning. The child is described as a "self-propelling wheel" and embodies a "sacred Yes" that affirms the moment and the flux of life, enabling pure creation and playfulness. Nietzsche believed that to reach this stage, one must first be a dutiful camel, willing to bear burdens, and then a lion, capable of saying a "Holy No" to societal norms and taboos. The child's spirit is crucial for happiness, health, and well-being, as it signifies a return to the freshness and freedom of a child's perspective. Nietzsche's concept of the child is not about literal childishness but rather a state of mind that is free from preconceived ideas and open to new possibilities.
//The Wire//2300Z March 14, 2025// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT SUFFERS ENGINE FIRE IN DENVER. DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS CONTINUE TO URGE AN AGREEMENT IN UKRAINE.//  -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Europe: Diplomatic developments continue by the hour regarding the potential for peace in Ukraine. Russia has responded favorably to the idea of a ceasefire, however no ceasefire terms have been accepted on paper or implemented just yet. However, this morning NATO Chief Mark Rutte stated that Ukraine will not be joining NATO, which likely will be viewed as a favorable development by Russia. In Ukraine, the Kursk Offensive is largely no more, with almost all Ukrainian troops egressing south back over the border into Ukraine over the past few weeks. Canada: Justin Trudeau has formally resigned as Prime Minister, being replaced by Mark Carney. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - Following yesterdays' multiple swatting incidents of conservative media figures, FBI Director Kash Patel issued a statement acknowledging the incidents, and has allegedly begun investigations into the culprits of these types of events. Colorado: American Airlines Flight 1006 experienced a fire emergency upon landing in Denver yesterday. The pilots landed without issue, however while taxiing to the terminal, an engine caught fire. The aircraft successfully made it back to the terminal before the fire expanded significantly. Despite challenges while evacuating (such as many passengers taking the time to gather their carry on bags), all passengers and crew were able to safely evacuate the aircraft. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: The fire onboard AA1006 is a great reminder to pay attention to all safety procedures during commercial flights, such as the explicit direction to leave your possessions behind, and get out of the aircraft as quickly as possible. For future reference, most aircraft in the 737 family do not have slides or inflatables on the wings of the aircraft; the emergency procedure involves the pilots lowering the flaps, which serve as the slide to egress from the aircraft. There are markings painted on the top of the wing that indicate which route to take, and to slide off of the wing using the flaps. However, in this case, most passengers who took the overwing exits were stranded on top of the wing with no way to get down (or so they thought). Since it often requires going against human instinct to slide down a wing into the unknown below (or in this case, sliding down into flame and smoke under the wing) this detail regarding the overwing exits lacking a clear and confident egress method has been noted by investigators during previous emergencies over the years. The good news is that on most 737 platforms, the wing is a maximum of approximately 10 feet from the ground at worst (depending on variant), so jumping down from any point on the wing would likely have been possible in any case.

#asknostr : Re: relays for #newbs I understand when it comes to #Nostr relays there will always be an element of quality over quantity. That being said is there any recommendations for those #NewToNostr regarding how many relays one should add to their client (on average) and are there any specific relays that you would recommend to everyone? Also, have you found any interesting niche topic relays? Is there anything people should be aware of before they add some new wss:// address?
Power To The (Wired) People October 17, 2004 | By Mitch Kapor Source: internet archives Our nation is founded on the principle of self-government -- a government "of, by, and for the people" in the words of Abraham Lincoln -- but we know in our gut that this ideal is in such peril today that we have to ask whether self-government is even a meaningful concept in 2004 as it was to the Greeks who invented democracy 2,500 years ago. Greek and Roman traditions inspired the Founding Fathers when they framed the Constitution and brought democracy into the modern world. But if you could reanimate Thomas Jefferson, James Madison or Alexander Hamilton in present-day Washington, they would be horrified. They would find a system both corrupt and dysfunctional, one that has 13 lobbyists for every representative, in which money buys undue influence and the real deals are made out of sight of the American public. Now, it's easy to look at this process and blame the politicians. They are certainly culpable. But let's look at the other end of the Washington purse strings. Who buys the politicians? It's the corporations who would rather game the system than create something of value in a competitive marketplace. Make no mistake, these corporations and their leaders aren't going to Washington to innovate or compete. Just the opposite, they're going to stifle innovation and handcuff competition. Everyone's there -- from the fossil- fuel industry stifling alternative-energy development to big insurance and medical companies handcuffing health care. Or, how about the intellectual property cartel composed of the big telecom companies, entertainment industry and now some members of the computer industry? They want to protect archaic business models, shackle ideas to one owner for perpetuity, thereby hindering the free flow of information necessary for both dynamic markets and self-government. We were never meant to have a highly centralized government. Power was meant to be maintained by checks and balances not just in the three branches of federal government but by the states, the states by county and local governments. And the final check was the American people -- us.
I FUCKING ♡ #NOSTR (Example 0276) Every time I think "Nostr can provide a solution to this problem" sure enough I'll search and find someone has already sprung into action. Example: @ksedgwic and his integration of Nostr and Meshtastic: Noshtastic Hoping to see more options to use TAK and Nostr together for first responders, emergency management, digital militias, the options seem endless. 🌐
