Happy Mountain Monday 🏔️

The photo shows snow-capped mountains in Zakopane, Poland 🇵🇱

I was traveling with my parents at the time.  We just admired the scenery, breathed fresh air and enjoyed simple things.

It's crazy that the Zocalo and Cathedral are built over Tenochtitlan's ruins. 

Tenochtitlan was a Mesoamerican Venice with aqueducts and canals. 

Spanish conquistadors drained the lake and built Mexico City on top.

This was Tenochtitlan:

(I choose a city one, and in general I like TAP of palms cause where I live there are none))

A new trend: Turn your pets into people with ChatGPT🐶

All you need to do is upload a photo of your pet to the chatbot and ask it to make it look like a human in a realistic style.

You can also use a Prompt:

«Transform this animal into a human character, removing all animal features (such as fur, ears, whiskers, muzzle, tail, etc.) while preserving its personality and recognizable traits. Focus on capturing the expression, posture, emotional vibe, and visual identity (like color scheme or accessories). The result should feel like a believable human version of this specific character. Realistic style»

Make your pet and share with us🩶

Interesting. Thank you @girl-ua for the prompt 🐶

So, there’s a lot of dire wolf debate happening in the world of genetic engineering. Perhaps even more so in the world of Game of Thrones nostalgia. 

Here is my perspective where I go a bit beyond the more surface level debate of whether or not they can be considered truly de-extinct Ice Age wolves.  🐺

History

History, tech stuff, SEO/marketing, shitposting, etc. etc.

We recognize how Christianity created liberalism, the enlightenment, progressivism, libertarianism, human rights, etc. 

But there’s a huge Christian thing that people used to do, we still do it, and we don’t think it was Christian influenced? 

The counterpoint is that eastern religions, Aztecs, etc have this cyclical mentality built in. Maybe in the west the Christian influence raises the stakes for us and we’re not just existential about our own lives but about society and the world at large

The Mexica (Aztecs) saw time as cyclical, with world ages rising and falling. But unlike Christian apocalypticism or Eastern cyclic thought, their eschatology wasn’t moral or teleological.

While there’s a shared sense of the world ending, the purpose and meaning differ radically.

A more fitting comparison would be Hindu or Buddhist.

Mesoamerican world endings were mythic resets... not about sin or salvation, but cosmic balance. 

Hence, the skull racks: not symbols of punishment but offerings to sustain the universe.

coffee

this is my barometer for these tariffs. it's an intersection of multiple markets confluencing to keep a necessary product (and a necessarily "affordable" product) relatively price-stable. if my coffee grinder I paid 16 bucks for 3 months ago is drastically more than $20.66 in the coming weeks and months, you know shit is sliding sideways.

I use Dog Food Brand Drift as a gauge. People eat ramen before feeding their dog off-brand kibble. When that changes, it’s quiet surrender. Things are “sliding sideways” more than we admit.

Slapped a 60% tariff on Lesotho over diamond imports - how can one of Africa’s poorest nations afford enough U.S. goods to even the scales?

Candid comment. I always struggled with flirting too.

It’s like I need to convey that I’m sexually interested in you, in a light hearted and funny way, that also has plausible deniability and doesn’t come off as gross or crude. Feels like juggling 3 different random objects of different weights and sizes.

Very happy to be in a committed long term relationship. 😳
