American Pravda: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead in San Bernardino, by Ron Unz
From The Unz Review
Being a college town, Palo Alto once offered a multitude of excellent new and used bookstores, perhaps as many as a dozen or so. But the rise of Amazon produced a great extinction in that business sector, and I think only two now survive, probably still more than for most towns of comparable size. Amazon…

It seemed like night, but part of the sky glowed purple. It was the now famous night of May 10, 2024, when people over much of the world reported beautiful aurora-filled skies. The featured image was captured this night during early morning hours from Arlington, Wisconsin, USA. The panorama is a composite of several 6-second exposures covering two thirds of the visible sky, with north in the center, and processed to heighten the colors and remove electrical wires. The photographer (in the foreground) reported that the aurora appeared to flow from a point overhead but illuminated the sky only toward the north. The aurora's energetic particles originated from CMEs ejected from our Sun over sunspot AR 6443 a few days before. This large active region rotated to the far side of the Sun last week, but may well survive to rotate back toward the Earth next week.

One year ago, my health was a disaster. 😢
I could barely do one pull-up and could not bother to exercise or eat well. 👎
I decided to start practicing what I preach. No more excuses. ☝️
Proof of Work, mind and body, must be the way. 💪
I was 10kg too heavy, which hindered every aspect of my life — very precisely, my passion: bouldering. Imagine climbing an inclined wall with 10kg extra strapped to your waist.
Yeah, no. 😅
But being able to compete in an obscure sport was not enough.
I needed peers. 🤝
My friend and Konsensus Network co-founder Edouard stepped in. His remarkable self-control, sense of agency, and total accountability impressed me deeply. He made me want to be a better man and showed me how. For that, buddy, I am in your debt. ❤️💪
Another friend and peer is Riku, who dragged me out of my man cave to incorporate regular exercise into my “too busy” schedule — something I have never done. Now I exercise 5x a week. Jungle gym, sometimes bouldering. Thanks for holding me to it, mate!
I am now 3kg away from my target weight, can do nine pull-ups, and did not place last in a bouldering competition like the year before. I have a long way to go, but I can’t ignore the results!
Finally, I want to thank Jose from madeiraclimbingcenter.com for putting up a hell of a boulder gym with tight problems. And for accepting #bitcoin, duh.
Konsensus was sponsoring the boulder contest with top knowledge!
It turns out there is a second-best, eh? 😂
I feel very grateful and more potent than in a long time, and I wanted to share my progress. 🙏
It's never too late to unscrew yourself! 💪
Share to spread the good news and inspiration 🚀
And GM to you all! 🎉🙏
You are in control, no one else. ☝️🔼📈 upwards!!

因为我介绍过澳洲大金山老龙和南半球最大塔,最近被疯子毁坏,很多推友问我情况,这是大塔管委会会长告诉我的:
A total of 65 items were splashed with cooking oil. It was done by some fundamental Christians who felt they were doing God's work. We have started the clean-up, but it's going slowly because the oil has seeped into marble, stone, granite items, and damaged paintwork on various pieces. It was also splashed onto some of your embroidery. We are carefully working to clean the embroidery - hopefully, it will work. Thanks 🙏

Ngorongoro Crater has a wonderfully large range of habitats able to support a vast array of wildlife. Some of its most prominent ecosystems are as follows:
*The steep and forested crater wall.* This wall of Ngorongoro Crater is mostly covered in thick montane forest, with the shallower western wall being dominated by euphorbias. The wall's forest is a favourite haunt for leopards, so be sure to look for them when driving down and back up out of the crater.
*The alkaline and seasonal salt Lake Magadi and its surrounding soda flats.* These are home to many waterbirds, including greater and lesser flamingos.
*Mandusi and Gorigor Swamps.* They’re a sanctuary for elephants, hippos, lions, other mammals big and small, and all sorts of waterbirds.
*Hippo Pool.* Located on the edge of Gorigor Swamp, this is a popular picnic site among safari-goers.
*Lerai Forest*. This is a small woodland comprising primarily acacia and yellow fever trees, and is popular with monkeys, baboons, elephants and Fischer’s lovebirds.
*Extensive grasslands.* These are populated with large numbers of lions, elands, wildebeests, plains zebras, black rhinos, spotted hyenas, and more.
While most head to Ngorongoro Crater for a safari drive, you can actually go on guided walks in the wall's forest, where you see waterfalls, rare and colourful birds, and amazing views of the crater basin below.

Gymnopédie No. 1 by Erik Satie, played by Jacques Février in 1966. Musicologist and philosopher Vladimir Jankelévitch used to say that Satie was the composer of mornings, because there is something matutinal about his music... I might add that he was more precisely the composer of Sunday mornings, even though there is nothing religious about his compositions: but there is a serenity, a calmness, an emptiness that modernity associates with Sundays; so here is your dose of Sunday morning music. In fact, Satie was the inventor of something very modern that surrounds your everyday life...
One day of 1920, Erik Satie organized something peculiar during the intermission of a concert by Max Jacobs.
Indeed, it was the first outing of his concept of « musique d'ameublement » (furnishing music). The principle is simple: the public should walk around and discuss as if it were a normal intermession while musicians played music that should not be actively listened to... Because of traditional reflexes, the audience stopped to listen to the music but Satie and Milhaud kept saying « Whatever you do, don't listen! »... And that's the day what we now know as background music was born. As a true avant-garde artist and a serial jokester, with that experience, Satie wanted to do away with the idea of music happening as an organized and paid for event. During that intermission, music was therefore a non-event, a piece of furniture in the grand scheme of things, just like lighting or heating. What was seen as a joke then is our life now, and it even has a name, « elevator music »: shops, elevator, bars, restaurants... Every moment is a musical one and it's barely noticeable because it should not be. It's ironic that the Gymnopédies, written way before Satie's concept, eventually became mainstream elevator music. https://video.nostr.build/a2f34c9b9bc2f842cca4724f8e7fb766df542ab9d4ce44a5532e424d9eb08545.mp4

Please bookmark it then! Want to read it 😁
Reflecting on who i interact with a lot, its less the influencer type, more tight nit than other social media. Nice to see what the popular ones are doing but i care more in my extended circle of friends.
Definitely not the only way people use nostr, but there's at least a few of us here and i think exclusive relays - not paid, not computational (WOT), but just a relay where I have a lot of overlap in interactions, and I'll get invited because my content is appreciated and trusted to not be toxic.

*MUUNGANO DAY FAN FACT*
From the rim of Ngorongoro Crater, the basin floor looks empty but that's only because you're too high to see the abundant wildlife spread out everywhere.
The wall of Ngorongoro Crater rises about 600m above its floor. That’s about 180 storeys, or three Gateway Arches stacked on top of each other.
Another way to give you a sense of the enormity of the crater is this: when you stand on the rim and look down, you see what appears to be a vast and empty expanse, with simply a lake, a few streams and marshlands, and a small forest. Yet in reality Ngorongoro Crater is teeming with wildlife, including giants like elephants. You’re just too far away to see them.
It’s only as you start winding down into the crater that you start to see how littered with animals the base of the crater actually is. Once you reach the crater floor, you discover that animals are everywhere.

EUROPA? ::: Gute Nachbarschaft mit Russland!
20. Mai 2024
Das europäische Friedensgebot der Stunde kann nur lauten: Gute Nachbarschaft mit Russland! Am denkwürdigen 9. Mai 2024 kommen in Aachen – parallel zur Karlspreisverleihung – mit Prof. Dr. Ulrike Guerot, Wolfgang Effenberger und Michael Aggelidis moderiert von Dr. Ansgar Klein Stimmen zu Wort, die im Hinblick auf den Kriegsschauplatz Deutschland und Europa an die Friedensgebote des deutschen Grundgesetzes, der UN-Charta und des 2+4-Vertrags erinnern. Stetige Verpflichtung zur militärischen Aufrüstung unter NATO-Hoheit – wie sie im EU-Vertrag bindend sind unter Einschränkung des Rechts auf Leben (sic!) –stehen dem elementaren Friedensgebot diametral entgegen. 70 Jahre Frieden in Europa wurde mit militärischer Brutalität ohne UNO-Mandat unter deutscher Beteiligung 1999 bereits gebrochen. Umso wichtiger ist das perspektivische Engagement für den sofortigen Eintritt in Friedensverhandlungen, die im April 2022 kurz nach der russischen Intervention hätten zum Erfolg führen können, wenn „der Westen“ dies nicht blockiert hätte.
Veranstalter ist die Bürgerinitiative Gute Nachbarschaft mit Russland unterstützt vom Aachener Bündnis gegen Waffen und Sanktionen.
