Re: What movies are you watching?
I've been watching a surreal Si Fi movie, I think it's called "This is Dystopia" ....Oh bugger! No wait...it turns out I've just been watching the mainstream news.

The police officer knocks on the door.
Wife answers "Hello officer, is everything okay?"
Police officer "Hello mam, is this your husband ? the police officer shows the wife her husband's photo ID.
Wife "Yes it is"
Police officer "Sorry mam, it looks like your husband was hit by a bus."
Wife "I know, but it's not about looks, he has a great personality"

Re: Recently Learned...
That goes especially for that wierdo in the mirror.
Tee Hee!
That is the one I can not trust to have anything but opinions masquerading as wisdom. The worst thing is not knowing which side of the mirror I am in.
I think I might be in... nah we have AI to offer us a distorted reality these days...

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
It's been a while.
Always.
Personally I am finding value in much not related to past holding dharma. Preparing for the Neo-religions and non Buddhist and other cults such as Tantra. Though that is likely to change at a moments notice due to too much time wasting...
Spending more time away from social media such as Mastodon and NewBuddhist

Re: Recently Learned...
We'z all gots opinions, views, wez all says whats we thinks 'n sumtimes wez fergets ta think.
But what counts is that we seek, we question, we advance, we stumble sometimes. Then we get back up, we take another step....repeat.
That is the fun of it.
Oh, due remember to laugh at yourself - Life is serious, we humans not necessarily so. That goes especially for that wierdo in the mirror.
Peace to all

Re: The AI tsunami
A few days ago there was the Google I/O Conference 2026, in which Google talks about new technologies and experiences they are working on (see here). They are coming out with new models, but also new agents powered by the new models, and a thing called Omni, which will be able to generate any kind of media from any kind of input. They have a partnership with Apple for providing AI for the iPhone which will be able to do more than just be a chatbot. A bit scary, where this is all going. Google seem to be committed to putting AI into all sorts of places.

I’ve given up on The Brothers Karamazov, found it too boring. I have retreated to reading The Hobbit, which I haven’t read for 30 years. I now have a very beautiful edition illustrated by Alan Lee, which I am very much enjoying.
Your words wound me. lol
