I'm surprised to see a non-military flight over #Iran right now. No aircraft details except apparently it belongs to Qatar Airways. #Aviation #MiddleEast

Jouissance is an attempt to “flee from the flesh”, to ignore one’s own/others bodies in an effort to target the very void which is usually veiled or from which one tries to keep a distance as “being human” also means being attracted to that which destroys. For some, however, that inhibition is gone.

An interesting development from the Gander Social front... Amber Mac confirms this may have been a rug pull. #canada #fediverse #gander

A facebook post from Arlene Dickinson reading "Folks, some news to share with you on Gander Social from Amber Mac and me.
We are both not involved with Gander as investors or advisors. We respect their ongoing efforts and wish them well in the future."

Comment from Chad Ohman reading "I’ve known you since the Call for Help era, Amber. I am feeling like this is a rug pull?" to which Amber Mac replied "Hi! Thanks for following. I think the rug has been pulled out from under us, frankly, as we have tried to support Gander, but they made a big pivot along the way, so I'm not too keen to have my name attached. Their priority seems to be crowdfunding vs. advisors/investors. I tried!"

Some people want it. Some don't. Many aren't sure yet-and that's okay. But it can feel like Al is being built for someone else's vision of the future, not yours.

Happy #Christmas to those who celebrate. Photo of a Christmas star. The ray of light refracting through the clouds on the horizon is a neat effect.

A firey orange sun sets over a snowy su urban landscape. A single ray of light shines up against a gray cloud bank. It looks like a beacon pointing to the west.
