ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yup, there’s a lot of confusion nowadays about what intelligence is and ain’t: novel solutions to novel problems is the essence. medium.com/thinkpiece-m...medium.comWhat Is Intelligence?Intelligence is not consciousness, creativity, or learning 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Cats, in my experience, are very attuned to sickness and will stay by those they love when they are ill. 020

ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 05/10/2026US citizens can’t be deported from the US. Those people have been exiled from their homeland. 010
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It’s been proven over and over that watering down the platform to appease cowardly “moderates” is a recipe for losing. If you wake up and look around globally, you’ll see US progressives *are* moderates and you guys are rightists, somewhat to the center relative to the authoritarians. Get real! 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And the busboy decides what you can or cannot eat, if anything, after you’ve paid your $20. 2330

ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 02/10/2026So I finally see God’s “gotcha” for giving us dogs – the most annoying breeds live the longest! <Hides from angry chihuahua owners> 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A president who really did keep us out of war. And he was a military veteran. 110
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Why TF do extended family want to be in the delivery room anyway? Get out and leave it to the parents. You’ll see the kid soon enough. 2400
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 18/09/2026That is waaaay more complicated than any breakfast I’m liable to eat. 002
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Obviously this person does not speak cat. The cat was asking to be loved, not filmed. Now put the phone down and give that cat some love!, dammit! You’re welcome. 040

ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It can’t “become indifferent” because it doesn’t think. It can only kill us if we’re stupid enough to allow it to control something that can kill us, like allowing it to have control over nuclear launches without human control in between. It can only kill us through stupidity. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 14/09/2026In other news, ICE reported to have “standards.” 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 14/09/2026And maybe if the leaders of the Confederacy had been hanged, and the orchestrators of the 2008 financial collapse had been bankrupted instead of homeowners. 000

ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Private equity bought the 24 hour gym that has a facility down the street. It’s now staffed just 28 hours a week — from 5 PM Friday to 10 AM Monday it goes uncleaned. The online signup form is completely nonresponsive. Private equity “invests” in businesses like spiders invest in flies. 010
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 09/09/2026How long has Trump fantasized about being grabbed by two big strong guys? 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Hmm. Twenty-eight percent don’t like him. I think that’s also Don Trump’s approval rating. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 09/09/2026A friend of mine had a cat like that. No matter what sort of critter he brought home, Mustafa would care for it. 052
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Now he’s fantasizing about being carried by firemen. 010
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Not long ago I heard this song playing in a bank and I thought, my how times have changed! 010
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I notice you don’t give any instructions on how the corrupt ruling party can be dismantled and replaced against their will. 040
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 05/09/2026When people post things like this, I can’t help but notice they also have no answer for how it could actually be done. Casting a spell to make the Republicans no longer fascist and corrupt doesn’t count. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 05/09/2026So you’re saying he took over a million and a half from AIPAC. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Zen = meditation. Zen/Chan Buddhism centers meditation as the core practice. Zazen is seated meditation. Shikantaza is zazen without any focus of concentration like a mantra or the breath. Wall-facing shikantaza is common in Soto Zen, founded by Dogen in Japan, now practiced worldwide. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The generation for whom “communist” and “socialist” are sure-fire scare words is dying off. Younger people are not falling for it, especially when they see what “capitalists” are doing to them. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This is why I had to stop listening to PBS news a couple years back. They talk about this man as though he were a legit politician, as though he has political strategies and thinks about America, when in reality he’s a career criminal con artist leveraging fascism to enrich his family. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 04/09/2026If you don’t allow it to cool down, it will blow up your kitchen. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 02/09/2026This is why we can’t so easily forgive Trumpers who only change their tune when fascism hurts them personally. Until and unless they admit they were fundamentally wrong about fascism itself, not just how Trump is implementing it, they will support the next strongman they think will do it right. 000
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Pro tip: If you start to skid, focus on keeping the wheel pointed toward where you want to go. Won’t work if you’re spinning like a clock, of course, but if you start to fishtail it can keep you from losing control. Cheers. 010
ptzenki.bsky.social @ptzenki.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I dig it, seriously, but I gotta admit, the Poppin’ Fresh dancers crack me up. 010
