STANDING UP TO AUTHORITY MAKES MOST PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE. PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO MAKE WAVES, AND DON'T WANT TROUBLE. THEY WANT TO GET BY AND TAKE THE SAFER ROAD. THEY DON'T WANT TO PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK. THEY DON'T WANT TO TELL THE TRUTH OR EVEN KNOW THE TRUTH, IF IT MEANS THEY MUST GO AGAINST THE TIDE. AND THAT IS WHY TYRANNY HAPPENS.

Good Idea: Make GrapheneOS Mainstream

https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/

Most people never get to choose a truly private phone, not because they don't care, but because the secure options always felt too technical or too niche. That's changing.

Motorola just announced a partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation! Bringing one of the most respected privacy-focused operating systems into the hands of everyday users.
No more choosing between security and a phone that just works.

Play games with your kids. No, not video games. Board games. Card games.
Games that make people take turns. Games that require players to pay attention to what's happening in the game. Memory games are a good start.
Games that teach strategy quietly. Games that make kids think and learn patience at the same time.
This is a CRUCIAL life skill that students are severely lacking and it's making it harder for students than it needs to be
teacher - education

"Softness is great and strength is worthless. When a man is born, he is soft and pliable. When he dies, he is strong and hard. When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life. That which has become hard shall not triumph."

—Andrei Tarkovsky, Stalker

Die Deutsche Bank entließ eine Mitarbeiterin, nachdem sie verdächtige Aktivitäten auf Konten mit Verbindungen zu Jeffrey Epstein und Jared Kushner gemeldet hatte. Der Fall zeigt einmal mehr, wie ein rechtsfreier Raum für Eliten gezielt geschaffen wird.

For my non-European subscribers: A lot of items people think are non-recyclable - like brita filters, toothpaste tubes, toothbrushes, and razors - can actually be easily recycled for free https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades

TIL that the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light‑years away, so when we see it in the night sky, we’re seeing it as it was 2.5 million years ago. If an observer in Andromeda could see Earth in detail right now, they would be watching our early human ancestors, not modern civilization. [source, comments]
