Incomparable

En el árbol del sufrimiento se encuentra la fruta única de la sabiduría incomparable. Quien lo rechaza, inevitablemente muere sin hallarla.

Las moradas

Alumbra esta piel, este camino. No dejes que la sombra avance. Que el descenso ocurra. Llévame a las moradas majestuosas.

Mitad y mitad

Así, como fue. Miradas, sombras, luces. Mitad dolor, mitad gozo. Atrapados en el claro de luna, ausentes.

El alma

Yo no sabía que las almas pesaran tanto, aunque lo imaginaba. De joven, sospeché que a los mayores no les pesaba sólo el cuerpo. Y no sabía qué era el alma, hasta que sentí su peso.

Sombras

Las personas, por lo general, no suelen estar interesadas en las sombras. Ni siquiera por las suyas. La sombra de un pájaro, por ejemplo. O la de un burro. La que nos toque: sombra a ciegas.

Vienen

Vienen de alguna parte que seguramente no conozco. Aunque también dependen del aire, nos creemos distintos. En su tierra tendrán flores, sol y cielo. Y anhelan, como todos, la fruta del sueño.

Quiero

Me sorprendo, quiero. Y veo una ola tragada por otra, rompiendo en las arenas de la noche.

La noche

La noche dejó cristales fríos y una huella de moho en la pared. Hace frío y calor a ratos.

Las horas

Sin escribir, ni leer. Sentado atravieso las horas. Desaparecen, mientras las mariposas van al sur.

Yo sé

Yo sé lo que viene después del horizonte fatídico. Los animales despojados, ya fantasmas, aparecen en el muro de los sueños.

El signo de lo racional

Sí, no. Tienes que ir, corre. Aprende, resuelve. Alimenta controversias y a consciencia atrapa signos, anagramas. Devuelve, vuelve. Pasa.

I often hear the Tree of Knowledge framed in Christianity as the necessary component to grant people free will. God placed the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden and commanded that it not be eaten from, because it will give you the knowledge of Good & Evil and you will die.

It was our choice to eat from it. Or not.

But really that is not about choice at all; it’s about obedience. I suspect Adam & Eve were already able to make some decisions on their own with some form of free will, otherwise they would just be biological Robots of God.

The Tree was placed there by God. To tempt them? Isn’t that the role of the devil in traditional thinking?

The “cunning” serpent (not explicitly the Devil) did lay on some extra tempting things, but the architect of the whole scenario is God. He placed the Tree smack in the middle of the garden and painted an allure upon it.

Why would God do that?

The Catholic, and most other Christian views, is that Adam & Eve eating from the Tree of Knowledge was the original sin of disobedience. They chose to serve themselves over obedience to God. And as such, they were punished by the Separation from God and Eden and handed over to death. Humanity is fallen.

Interestingly the Jewish faith, from which this story originates in the Talmud, interprets this differently: there was no original sin at all – this was Adam & Eve’s choice, and theirs alone. And the Tree of Knowledge imparts yetzer ha-ra (the inclination toward self-interest), which isn’t evil per se, but rather a step along the way of growing up. God places the Tree, gives the command, but doesn’t set a trap. The story is about choice, not about temptation. And the exile from the Garden is not punishment but rather the beginning of human responsibility, toil, and ethical discernment.

In the original text, from the original religion of Judaism, the Eden story is a coming-of-age story. We move from innocence to moral complexity, and God remains our guide.

For my part, I see the Tree as a necessary component of awakening which God placed to invite discernment; a ritual of inquiry, reflection and decision with all its consequences.

The story was intended for a fairly primitive people, just beginning to try and make sense of the world and their lives.

I suspect God didn’t place the Tree of Knowledge there to make us fall, but rather to help our consciousness to rise.

If there is a God, of course. (I have no photos).

from Dzudzuana/Satsurblia/Iranic Pride

Alikram Hummatov, fiery, proud, raised his banner, spoke out loud. Talysh valleys, rivers grand, he called them home, he named them land.

But power struck, the dream was banned, the newborn state slipped through his hand. They chained his voice in prison’s night, for daring claim his people’s right.

Behind the bars his spirit burned, to hills and Caspian waves it turned. Though walls were high, his dream still ran, a whisper strong: Talyshland.

This is not A return; It is re-membering. The river beneath the river, Silent until the flood. Cleansing what had been before; As clouds unveil The blood - Red moon above the waters. The penance and the promise, The challenge and the choice: The wild, free cry of crows - What rises here, What light shines now, Shall be, must be, The truth.

from ROMAIN LECLAIRE

En 1971, le regretté physicien britannique Stephen Hawking a formulé une prédiction d'une simplicité déconcertante mais aux implications profondes. La surface totale d'un trou noir ne peut jamais diminuer. Elle ne peut qu'augmenter ou rester stable. Ainsi, si deux d’entre eux fusionnent, le nouveau trou noir qui en résulte aura une surface plus grande que la somme des deux surfaces de départ.

Cette règle est aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de théorème de l'aire de Hawking. Plus de cinquante ans plus tard, l'analyse d'un signal d'ondes gravitationnelles capté en janvier dernier vient d'apporter la preuve observationnelle la plus solide à ce jour en faveur de ce théorème, comme le détaille une nouvelle publication dans la prestigieuse revue “Physical Review Letters”. Cette avancée scientifique coïncide merveilleusement avec le 10e anniversaire de la première détection historique d'une fusion de trous noirs par la collaboration LIGO, une découverte qui leur a valu le prix Nobel. Le cosmos semble avoir un sens du timing.

Une symphonie de détecteurs à l'écoute du cosmos

Pour « entendre » ces cataclysmes cosmiques, les scientifiques disposent d'un réseau d'observatoires extraordinairement sensibles. Connue sous le nom de LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK), cette collaboration internationale traque les ondes gravitationnelles, ces infimes ondulations de l'espace-temps produites par des événements aussi violents que la fusion de trous noirs ou d'étoiles à neutrons. La technique utilisée est l'interférométrie laser. En termes simples, des lasers de haute puissance mesurent en permanence la distance entre des miroirs suspendus à des kilomètres les uns des autres. Lorsqu'une onde gravitationnelle traverse la Terre, elle étire et comprime l'espace-temps de manière infime, modifiant cette distance d'une fraction du diamètre d'un proton. Les détecteurs LIGO aux États-Unis (à Hanford, Washington, et Livingston, Louisiane), Virgo en Italie et KAGRA au Japon travaillent de concert pour localiser la source de ces signaux. Un cinquième détecteur, LIGO-India, devrait les rejoindre après 2025, affinant encore notre vision gravitationnelle de l'Univers.

🌌 Révélation de l'événement cosmique GW250114: Collision de deux trous ...

Le défi est immense, car ces instruments sont si sensibles qu'ils captent aussi les moindres vibrations terrestres, comme le passage d'un train de marchandises à des kilomètres de là ou même les vibrations thermiques des atomes dans les détecteurs eux-mêmes. Le 14 septembre 2015, pour la première fois, les deux détecteurs LIGO ont capté un signal quasi simultané, un « chirp » caractéristique qui a signé la découverte du siècle. La preuve directe de la fusion de deux trous noirs. Cette prouesse a logiquement été récompensée par le prix Nobel de physique en 2017.

Du premier « gazouillis » à un chœur cosmique

Depuis cette première détection, le catalogue d'événements cosmiques n'a cessé de s'enrichir. Les scientifiques ont observé des fusions de deux étoiles à neutrons, mais aussi des fusions « mixtes » entre un trou noir et une étoile à neutrons. Ces dernières ont permis l'avènement de l'astronomie multi-messagers, où les ondes gravitationnelles (le « son ») et la lumière (comme les kilonovas, des éclats d'énergie colossaux) sont enregistrées ensemble, offrant une vision complète et sans précédent de ces événements. La collaboration a également détecté des fusions asymétriques, où un trou noir est bien plus massif que son partenaire, et a même découvert des objets qui remettent en question la frontière entre les étoiles à neutrons les plus massives et les trous noirs les plus légers. Chaque nouvelle détection est une pièce de plus au grand puzzle de l'Univers.

L'écho de la fusion: écouter un trou noir nouveau-né

La sensibilité des détecteurs a presque quadruplé depuis 2015. C'est grâce à cette amélioration que l'événement GW250114, détecté en janvier 2025, a pu être enregistré avec une netteté inégalée. Ce signal est le « jumeau » de celui de 2015, impliquant des trous noirs de masses similaires. Mais la fidélité du nouveau signal est bien supérieure. Lorsqu'un nouveau trou noir se forme après une fusion, il vibre comme une cloche que l'on vient de frapper. Cette phase, appelée « ringdown » (ou résonance finale), émet des ondes gravitationnelles à des fréquences spécifiques, des sortes d'harmoniques ou de « tons ». L'analyse de ces derniers permet de calculer les propriétés du trou noir final, comme sa masse et sa rotation. Grâce à la clarté de GW250114, les chercheurs ont pu les isoler avec une précision inédite. Leurs observations confirment un autre théorème fondamental, celui de la « non-chevelure » (no-hair theorem), qui stipule qu'un trou noir est un objet incroyablement simple, entièrement décrit par seulement trois paramètres: sa masse, sa rotation et sa charge électrique.

Le verdict: de la taille du Royaume-Uni à celle de la Suède

Mais la véritable percée concerne le théorème de l'aire de Hawking. L'analyse détaillée de GW250114 a permis de mesurer la surface des deux trous noirs initiaux avant leur fusion. Leur aire combinée était d'environ 240 000 kilomètres carrés, soit à peu près la superficie du Royaume-Uni. Après leur fusion, le nouveau trou noir unique présentait une surface d'environ 400 000 kilomètres carrés, soit la taille de la Suède. L'aire a bien augmenté, et ce de manière importante, confirmant la prédiction de Hawking avec une certitude de 95 %.

En effet, Hawking et Jacob Bekenstein ont plus tard montré que l'aire d'un trou noir est proportionnelle à son entropie, une mesure du désordre qui, selon la deuxième loi de la thermodynamique, doit elle aussi toujours augmenter. Cette connexion est l'un des indices les plus profonds que nous ayons. Un pont entre la relativité générale d'Einstein, la mécanique quantique et une étape décisive dans la quête d'une théorie de la gravité quantique. Une fois de plus, l'écho de l'Univers nous a murmuré les secrets de ses lois les plus fondamentales.

from An Open Letter

E was asking when the mercy skin leaves the shop, since she wanted to buy it. I immediately bought credits so I could gift her, and turns out you can’t gift lol. So I bought her credits to her account so she could get it. I don’t usually like to spend money on people for gifts, since I am afraid of things being transactional or being used, but this is different. I want to show her that I care about her, and how I really want her to be happy. I feel like I can be somewhat difficult at times, mostly because I get sad or fill myself with self-loathing. Even though it doesn’t affect her because I’m pretty good at being responsible about it, I still feel bad. I want her to feel consistently loved by me, even when I am low. I care about her a lot.

The struggles for me continue with NO job, or anything to fall back on, but I’m going to find something to do eventually and when I do then it’s going to be wonderful! I’m currently suffering from Writer’s Block because I was up writing a fanfiction on Discord which I MAY bring over to here and share with you guys, but I must warn you, it’s pretty long and probably will go nowhere! I’m not sure if writing would even be a good job for me because I lack some pretty basic grammatic skills unless it comes to adding big words in places that may or may not belong. Anyway, I just wanted to update you lovely people on my status in life, nothing’s changed YET but I’m hoping that it does so I can finally get this ball rolling and begin to make money for myself. Stay tuned to this, Write.as and NOTD.io because I have a page there as well along with Wattpad which will be my main source for juicy stories.

from POTUSRoaster

I hope you are taking care and feeling well.

Lately it seems that POTUS is not getting any proper legal advice. POTUS apparently wants to make burning the US Flag a crime. I guess he never heard that the US Supreme Court decided that burning the flag was protected speech. This decision was made a long time ago so maybe his advisors don't know about it. POTUS should drive up the street to the Court and ask to see their records.

POTUS has also decreed that the LGBTQ Pride Flag should be banned. Apparently, he made the comment while being shown a picture of what he assumed was the Pride Flag. The picture he was shown was of the Progress Pride flag, which represents acceptance for the entire LGBTQ+ community, not the Rainbow Flag. Can't these folks get anything right? POTUS needs better help. The current group is not cutting it.

I'm sure any LGBTQ+ person that POTUS stopped on the streets of Washington, DC would be happy to provide him with correct information. If this event ended up on a report card the grade would read “Must Do Better.”

I hope the world is treating you well. If you like these posts, please tell your friends. I don't get anything for writing them other than the satisfaction that they get read. Thank You.

from Roscoe's Quick Notes

I was surprised and more than a little disappointed this morning when I arrived for my scheduled doctor's appointment and was greeted by the check-in ladies at the front counter all wearing those goofy paper masks so popular back during the plandemic days. When I presented my insurance card and told them which doctor I was scheduled to see, one of the ladies handed me a mask and told me, “We're a mask-wearing building now.” Huh.

Taking a seat in the waiting room with my mask casually draped over one ear, I smiled when a nurse NOT wearing a mask appeared from a door and called my name. Following her I was relieved to see that none of the nurses back in the service area were masked. So I stuck mine in my bag.

All of the time spent back in the service area, in different offices, I saw plenty of nurses, med techs, and my doctor. None of them masked. Ha! Didn't fish my mask out of my bag until I left the service area, passed through the waiting room, and left the building.

RSS entered the game as a humble widget on the experimental My Netscape Network portal.

All RSS had to do to weather ICE, Twitter, AI, and whatever comes next, was keep things simple and let users build their own feeds, filters, lists, and aggregators. Like email, it probably won’t make anyone a billion dollars or reshape entire industries. But it will always be wholly yours. And if that isn’t nice I don’t know what is.

One of the important things to take away from this is that every dependency could be malicious. We should take the time to understand the entire dependency tree of our programs, but we aren't given that time. At the end of the day, we still have to ship things.

a convincing orchard for the tree, and land, mountains, clouds that make suitable climate for it,

also Earth, Sun, the Milky Way, and the rest of the universe,

all for an A+ on a test.

One of my favorite ways to reduce my Android phone usage is to turn on color correction, making the entire display monochrome. This helps minimize apps' addictive nature, making it easier for me to control myself when I know I need to be doing something else.

I know I'm not alone in this. It's no secret that many people use this feature to gain control of their screen time. But what may be a little-known secret to many Linux users is that you can do this exact thing on Ubuntu too. And it's not exclusive to Ubuntu, either. If you're a Linux desktop user running a modern version of GNOME, you should be able to take advantage of this as well. Here's how:

Enabling Monochrome Mode on GNOME

  1. On your desktop, navigate to *Settings > Accessibility*.
  2. From here, click on *Zoom*, and under “Magnifier,” change the *Magnification Factor* to 1.00.
  3. Scroll down to “*Color Filters*” and move the *Color* slider to *None* on the far left.
  4. Scroll back up to the top and toggle *Desktop Zoom* whenever you want to enable or disable monochrome mode.

Bonus Tip: Keyboard Shortcut

If you also navigate to *Settings > Keyboard*, scroll down to “*Keyboard Shortcuts*,” and click “*View and Customize Shortcuts*,” you can then select “*Accessibility*” and set a custom keyboard shortcut for “*Turn zoom on or off*.” Now, every time you want to jump between monochrome and colored modes, all you need to do is activate your keyboard shortcut. I personally set mine to *Super+c* (c for “color” in my mind).

It's that simple. If you also have a problem with over-consuming media on your computer the same way you do on your phone, this might be a good way to help you reclaim your attention.

Will this fix your screen addiction? No. Is it easy to just toggle color back on whenever you feel the urge to watch a video or scroll on social media? Yes. But it's not about creating obstacles to prevent you from doing those things. It's about reminding yourself what you are on your device for and to help you focus, minimize distractions, and stay on task.

I'm confident there are ways to do this on other desktop setups, whether that's other Linux desktop environments, macOS, or Windows. If you are on one of those, and you use this feature, feel free to share in the comments below how you achieve a monochrome desktop so we can all benefit from your wisdom.
