Runes in Venice

Who would expect to find runes in Venice? Yet, in central Venice a statue of a lion is covered in runic inscriptions

@info A bit about runic inscriptions in Venice, made by Vikings in Greece a thousand years ago.

Neil Gaiman ... Neil Gaiman ... I've heard that name before. would that be the Neil Gaiman of 'Good Omens' fame? If so ... someone fucked up the end of 'Good Omens II' and I'm still pissed about that.

@neilhimself I am looking for a new audiobook. You name the book and if my library has it I'll listen. No questions asked.

Almost everything put out by hackademics is three orders of magnitude unnecessarily complex.

When you show a simple solution that saves everyone downstream a zillion hours of hassle the hackademics think you are a stupid Lilliputian.

Devil Olympics | Spiritual Predators | Sheep Dipped Devils | Twofold Children of Hell

Red pill hell. A deep dive into devilology.

Is hell a place you go when you die? Or have you already died and gone to hell? What if you are literally in the realm of the dead right now? What if you ARE the dead? Are you merely a shadow, and not really alive?

What if the biological definition of "alive" is wrong, incomplete, false, and of no use to mankind? What if the popular conception of hell is unbiblical and really a savage superstition? What if hell is here, now? What if this current world is a prison for your corpse and the real "you" is asleep at the wheel?

Does a lake of fire and brimstone await your soul for endless torture? Or are you actually in the lake of fire and brimstone now, today? What if you are on fire and don't even know it?

When the old devil is handing out military medals to his army, many Christian pastors and celebrity preachers will get the gold medals.

This article is a short examination of the common false mythos beneath the religious dogma of hell and hellfire. Find out what the Bible really teaches about hell, devils, and damnation. Dear reader, you have likely never been exposed to these ideas before. Click the link:

Just what is a devil, anyway? It is not what the religious people say. It is the religious people. This off-the-cuff article proves it.

I notice that countless rubes use social media for their daily two minutes of hate. They have endless Goldsteins to shake their fists at, like obedient proles. Like parrots, the other proles chime in and shake their fists and shout at the evil Goldstein of the day.

The Party creates Godlstein. The Party created the two minutes of hate. It' is a show. It is a distraction scam. But the proles believe it is real.

In the meantime the proles love Big Brother, and kneel before him in adulation. None of them realize that their savior is their master.

As long as you spend your energy hating Goldstein you will never be a threat to big brother. But you call yourselves revolutionaries!

I suppose I should introduce myself. "You know how it goes. Fill in the damn titles."

  • Welcome to THE NIGHTBULB SHANTY CIPHER SHOP *

With your insectful host, yon firefly:

Sole Puzzle Proprietor and Reluctant Roast Master

Grand Garter General of the Imperial Baggy Jeans Mafia

Grumpy Curmudgeon to the Clouds

I am creating cryptographic primitives to keep my mind in fettle. I will announce my industrial strength toys from this account. If you are interested in novel ideas then you have come to the right place.

If your jeans don't have room for tools, they're not really jeans; they are denim leotards.

I enjoy lights of every kind: neon, led, candle, lamp, torch, flash, strobe and bright eyes. I enjoy natural lights like fireflies, lightning, and stars at night, rays through fog, and campfires. I am a flashlight geek. I own more flashlights than a shark has teeth.

My imperial hobbies include games with crypto, code, and coffee. My imperial toys include text and smolnet tools. When I am not learning new things I like to fist bump clouds and thunderstorms. Righteo, tornado brah.

There are two great opposing forces in the digital universe: The Skinny Jeans Mafia versus the Baggy Jeans Mafia. My camp shall drive those Skinny Jeansters running away crying over spilled espresso.

As a reminder, if you are a teacher, do not use AI detectors. This piece mirrors what I've heard from a LOT of students on social media (panicked students commenting on my AI videos, with no reason to lie). In my opinion, whatever utility you're getting out of a way to catch cheating is not worth the risk of even one false positive. Especially the potential for systematically biased false positives. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ai-written-homework-is-rising-so-are-false-accusations

Interesting conversation and article on the major downsides of AI detectors, especially the bias it has towards flagging neurodivergent and non-native writers that raise concerns.
