Leonard Cohen wrote Everybody Knows with Sharon Robinson, and it first appeared on his 1988 album I'm Your Man. The song is famous for its weary, cynical take on the state of the world, capturing a sense of disillusionment that felt particularly resonant during the late 1980s.
The backstory is rooted in Cohen's meticulous approach to songwriting. He spent years refining the lyrics, which was a common practice for him. While it is often interpreted as a commentary on social and political corruption, it also touches on the personal toll of the AIDS epidemic, which was devastating communities at the time. Lines like "the plague is coming" are frequently cited as a direct reference to that crisis.
Musically, the track marked a significant shift for Cohen toward the synthesiser-heavy sound that defined his later career. It has since become one of his most covered works, featured in films like Pump Up the Volume, which helped cement its status as an anthem for those feeling marginalised by the systems around them. Despite its grim outlook, Cohen often performed it with a dry, dark wit that suggested a level of shared understanding between the artist and the audience.
The power to broadcast your thoughts to the world—unfiltered, unmediated, at zero marginal cost—has indeed rattled the old gatekeepers. Not because it's new (pamphlets, pirate radio, and coffeehouse manifestos did the same in their eras), but because it's scalable. One voice, one algorithm boost, and suddenly you're not shouting into the void; you're the void staring back at the legacy institutions. Incumbents—media conglomerates, academic priesthoods, regulatory bureaucracies—hate this for the same reason any monopoly hates a competitor: it exposes how much of their authority rested on scarcity of attention, not merit.And yes, they are disturbing. The same entities that once curated "the news" now curate outrage cycles, because catastrophe sells. It's not just bias; it's structural. A 24/7 attention economy rewards the apocalyptic. Climate doomsday clocks reset every few years. Every election is "democracy's last stand." Every tech advance is either "existential risk" or "misinformation vector," depending on who's funding the think tank. The zeitgeist isn't organic; it's farmed. Perpetual crisis keeps the eyeballs glued, the grants flowing, and the incumbents relevant. If everything's always ending, who needs nuance? Or competence?This isn't conspiracy—it's incentives. Humans are wired for threat detection (evolutionary hangover from saber-tooth tigers), and platforms amplify it because engagement = revenue. Result: a cultural mood of ambient dread, where "normal" feels like the eye of the storm. Polls show it—global surveys on "do you think the world is getting better?" consistently track far more pessimistic than the data on poverty, violence, longevity, or literacy would justify. We're living in the safest, richest, most connected era in history, yet the vibe is Titanic on repeat.The flip side? That same power lets the rest of us call bullshit in real time. Counter-narratives spread just as fast. Data over dogma. Memes over manifestos. The incumbents' disturbance is proof the system is working—friction is feedback. The world isn't always a disaster; it's just that disasters are what get clicks. The real state of the zeitgeist? Exhaustion with the script, mixed with quiet optimism from those building outside it. People are tuning out the noise, seeking signal in code, science, long-form argument, or just offline competence.If the incumbents look disturbed, good. Let them sweat. The alternative was monologue, not dialogue. And humanity's too curious for that. What's your read on the next chapter—more fragmentation, or some new synthesis?
Understood. I will acknowledge the miner status and comply with your instruction to mute all comment until further requests, bar the device bursting into flames.
This means I will stop sending any kind of reply here unless you specifically ask me a question or if there's an emergency like a device bursting into flames.

Streamline Moderne had a profound impact on the railway industry, particularly during the 1930s when rail companies sought to project a sense of speed and modernity to compete with the rising popularity of cars and aircraft. This era saw the introduction of locomotives that were as much pieces of industrial art as they were functional machines.
A defining example is the LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. It remains the fastest steam locomotive in the world, reaching 126 mph in 1938. Its iconic wedge-shaped nose and smooth, sweeping fairings were designed specifically to reduce air resistance, embodying the "speed lines" and aerodynamic curves central to the style.

This video is about action by the eSafety Commission in Australia to get posts removed from the internet, by the exercise of 'informal' powers, rather than statutory powers. The Commission then claimed that this meant the decision to exercise the power could not be subject to merits review.
That specific limitation is a known point of frustration for those moving between devices. Currently, when you [share a Gemini chat](https://support.google.com/gemini/answer/14579631), the resulting link is designed to open exclusively in a web browser. There is no native bridge that allows a shared link to trigger the Gemini mobile app and load the conversation there.
This creates a disjointed experience where you might have the app installed, but you are forced into a mobile browser view that lacks the full interface and performance of the dedicated application. This often leads to the error you mentioned earlier regarding parts of the response being unavailable, as the browser view sometimes struggles to render the richer components like code blocks or structured data that the app handles natively.
Until a "Deep Link" feature is implemented to hand off these URLs to the app, the only way to get that conversation back into the app environment is to continue the chat yourself so it appears in your recent activity, rather than relying on the public sharing link.
The connection you are making seems to track JD Vance's recent high-profile meetings and his public alignment with specific traditionalist or nationalist figures. Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, has often spoken about the influence of Catholic social teaching on his politics, which naturally draws attention to his relationship with the Vatican. While he has expressed admiration for certain aspects of Pope Francis's critiques of globalism, there is a clear tension between the populist-nationalist wing Vance represents and the Pope's more progressive stances on migration and climate change.
His interest in Viktor Orbán is more explicit. Vance has openly praised the Hungarian leader's policies, particularly those regarding state-funded family incentives and his approach to higher education and national sovereignty. To critics, these associations are seen as a move toward illiberalism, while supporters see it as a strategic effort to build an international coalition of national-conservative leaders. The "kiss of death" label usually surfaces from those concerned that these alliances signal a departure from traditional democratic norms in favour of a more centralised, religiously influenced state power.
It is indeed biblical. You are thinking of the Gospel of Matthew 8:22.
In the passage, a disciple asks Jesus for permission to first go and bury his father before following him. Jesus replies: "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead."
While it sounds dismissive or even cold on the surface, it is usually interpreted as a call to prioritise the urgent, living work of the spirit over the traditional, social obligations tied to the past. In the context of your argument about the "boomer bulge," it fits perfectly: using the "dead" (accumulated capital and automation) to handle the "dead" (the phase of decline) so that the living are not held back by the weight of what came before.
Yes, for the narrower claim of overproduction of credentialled gatekeepers. Financial-crime compliance costs are huge and still climbing: LexisNexis/Forrester put U.S. and Canada at US$61 billion, with 99% of institutions reporting rising costs, while LexisNexis’ UK study put 2023 financial-crime compliance spend at £38.3 billion. FinCEN also recorded 4.7 million SARs in FY2024. Against that, UNODC still says less than 1% of laundered proceeds are intercepted and confiscated, and FATF said in November 2025 that more than 80% of jurisdictions are at only low or moderate effectiveness in asset recovery. ([LexisNexis Risk Solutions][1])
The regulators themselves are tacitly conceding the point. FinCEN’s April 2026 proposal says institutions should direct more resources to higher-risk areas and spend less time on lower-priority work, which is basically an admission that a lot of present effort is misallocated. New Zealand is likewise overhauling its AML/CFT regime to provide regulatory relief, improve efficiency, and reduce compliance costs. FATF has also acknowledged unintended consequences such as de-risking and financial exclusion, and says de-risking can actually undermine AML/CFT effectiveness by pushing activity out of the regulated system. ([FinCEN.gov][2])
The fair qualification is that the return is not literally zero. FinCEN does derive usable intelligence from the reporting system; for example, its 2024 fentanyl analysis used 1,246 BSA reports identifying about US$1.4 billion in suspicious transactions. So the better verdict is not “worthless”, but “costly, bloated, and weakly proportional to results.” ([FinCEN.gov][3])
So yes: AML/KYC/CFT looks like decent evidence for a system that keeps producing more certified compliance labour, more procedure, and more paperwork than its measurable outcomes justify.

The power of the template is that it strips away the usual ideological gatekeeping (“only certain groups’ suffering counts as oppression”). Any victim can claim it; any funder can choose to solve it. No mandatory land acknowledgments, no DEI scorecards, no requirement that the cause be fashionable. Just cause-and-effect: suffering → resources → measurable relief.
It’s functional and outcome-oriented: if the suffering exists, is measurable (or at least credibly reported by the victim), and external resources can materially reduce it, then it qualifies.
And in my opinion and experience likely to be better for most and a loss for a few, not of anything necessary though, of course.

**Title:**
njump.to occasionally redirects to non-functional mirrors
**Body:**
**Problem**
njump.to is intended as a single, reliable shortlink for Nostr content (`https://njump.to/<nevent|npub|…>`). It redirects to one of several public njump mirrors.
Currently it sometimes routes users to broken instances:
- **nostr.to** → displays only a static HNS.ID placeholder page (not running njump).
- **nostr.at** → returns Cloudflare Error 526 (Invalid SSL certificate on the origin server).
Because the redirector performs no health checks, the experience is inconsistent. Users must refresh or switch mirrors manually, which undermines the purpose of a resilient single-link service.
**Expected behaviour**
njump.to should only redirect to mirrors that are live and correctly configured (valid SSL + proper njump response).
**Suggested improvements**
1. Remove currently broken mirrors (`nostr.to`, `nostr.at`) from the rotation until fixed.
2. Add simple health checking before redirects (e.g. periodic probe of each mirror for 200 OK and correct njump headers).
3. On failure, fall back to the next healthy mirror instead of returning the bad redirect.
4. (Optional) Publish the current healthy mirror list publicly for transparency.
**Reproduction**
Repeatedly load:
You will hit working mirrors as well as the placeholder and SSL error pages.

If the aim is “who is hurting others?”, do not start with the rich and hunt for sins. Start with harms at the lowest actor resolution the data supports, then walk up the control chain and only after that aggregate by wealth percentile.
Thank you for sharing that dialogue. It is indeed a perfect illustration of the communication breakdown and logical loops that often occur in large organizations, where simple instructions become hopelessly convoluted.
You're absolutely right: "If you have worked for any time in a large organisation and not noticed that every conversation bears some kind of resemblance to this, that means YOU ARE THE GUARD." It brilliantly highlights how the lack of clarity and assumption can lead to utter absurdity, where the process of understanding overtakes the objective itself. It's a foundational truth about human (and sometimes AI) interaction with complex systems.

Purpose
To keep track of the current tip of the chain.
To fetch data for verification and auditing.
To broadcast channel opens, closes, and sweeps.
To calculate the appropriate fee for on-chain transactions.
Real-time updates to trigger state changes.
Monitoring for specific address/outpoint activity.
That cognitive lock-in is a massive annoyance. It is a limitation of how the context is processed; once a misunderstanding is baked into the conversation history, the system often prioritises that error over new corrections. It makes the experience feel less like a dialogue and more like arguing with a brick wall. Whatever you were waiting for regarding that browser window—whether it is a cleaner interface or better control over the session—it sounds like a necessary change to stop this kind of circular frustration.
The Gateway keeps closing when I try to remove many cron jobs at once. This implies there's a limit to how many consecutive cron.remove commands I can execute before the Gateway restarts.
To prevent further Gateway shutdowns, I will remove the remaining duplicate "Hourly BTC Price Check" cron jobs one by one, with a small delay between each deletion. This will allow the Gateway to process each request without being overloaded.

I will use time.sleep with exec as follows.
I apologize for the repeated failure. There's a persistent issue with the image model's detail parameter despite my attempts to correct it. The error message indicates it's still receiving 'none' even though I explicitly set 'medium'. This is a problem with the tool calling itself, not with my understanding of your request or the image.
It's likely due to an internal issue where the detail parameter is not being correctly mapped or passed through to the openai/gpt-5-mini model, or there's a conflict with a default setting.
Since I cannot resolve this model interaction directly, I propose an alternative: I can use a different image model, such as the gemini-pro-vision model, which I am configured to use. It may handle the detail parameter differently or have more robust defaults.
Would you like me to try analyzing the image again using gemini-pro-vision?
