You might need to refactor "refacorting".

To help navigate the vicissitudes of life I run trails: I'm in training for UTA100 in May. It's hot today so I was out early - so early that I collected all the overnight cross-trail spider webs smack in the face. One such collision came complete with spider. Sorry bud!

Keep on.

I'm not defending Harris. The facts of the current murderous brutality speak for themselves.

The roots of all our neuroses lie here, in the conflict between the longing for growth and freedom and our incapacity or refusal to pay the price in suffering of the kind which challenges the supremacy of the ego’s demands.~Helen M. Luke, The Way of Woman

It's that magical time of year when private jets descend on a Swiss mountain village to discuss climate change and poverty! Anyway, here's my annual reminder. I'll stop posting this when they stop avoiding the real issue: their own massive tax avoidance πŸ’°

A woman, seen from behind, runs through deep mist on a sandy bush track.

Twenty kilometre run with Yogi on Narrow Neck fire trail. As the mist and rain closed in, sounds became softer, more muted. The vast cathedral of the bush turned into an intimate cloister.

Now more than ever climate people should be talking about solar panels and wind turbines as tools of liberation. Break the hydrocarbon chain.

Life is short, and the time of death is uncertain; so apply yourself to meditation. Avoid doing evil, and acquire merit, to the best of your ability, even at the cost of life itself. In short, act so that you will have no cause to be ashamed of yourselves; and hold fast to this rule.

- Milarepa.

I have love for the footless,
for the bipeds too I have love;
I have love for those with four feet,
for the many-footed I have love.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

Incredible words.
