<p>I live, work and swim in Canada. I am probably enjoying good food or listening to loud music right now. My life is a dance with entropy, sometimes beautiful, sometimes clumsy, always meant to be interesting.</p><p>My boring posts auto-delete.</p>

    A view from the summit of a mountain in the Canadian Rockies. Sulphur Skyline Trail in Jasper National Park. (zoom in, it’s almost 360*)

    GWAR singing Chappell Roan&amp;#39;s Pink Pony Club is worth a watch, even if you&amp;#39;re not familiar with either one. Unless you take life seriously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5XR48KLE8I #GenreBending

    @yora I love the perspective in the book How Minds Change by David McRaney. From the experience of the person who left the flat earth cult, it seems like sometimes &quot;no leader&quot; can be just as domineering because the cult-ural norms are enforced by the true believers as they signal their virtue. Anyway, thank you for sharing.

    @yora That&#39;s an interesting perspective, especially given the essay by @ianbetteridge that I linked. I&#39;m willing to listen, if you&#39;d like to share more of your perspective, but I respect your privacy if you prefer not to.

    @yora You&#39;ve enclosed that in quotes. Can you cite who originally said that? Is that something you believe? How do you see that play out in your reality?

    RE: https://social.seattle.wa.us/@marco/116473799653984723 I find this convincing, but more than that, it’s a really well-crafted essay.

    &amp;quot;The epistemological structure of the conspiracy theory is identical to the structure of spiritual awakening. In both cases, there is a surface reality that most people accept unthinkingly, and a deeper truth accessible only to those willing to question, to seek, to undergo the discomfort of knowing. The content differs. The initiatory logic is the same.&amp;quot; https://www.ianbetteridge.com/zen-fascist-wi/

    More Jean-Jacques Goldman. I don&#39;t know why, but he makes me think of Meatloaf and Brian Adams. Bonne idée, 1997. I think I bought this album. I still listen to it when I&#39;m feeling nostalgic. https://open.qobuz.com/track/27362 On ira, 1997, from the same album. This is one of my all-time favourite songs. It hits the nostalgia and wanderlust just right. &quot;On ira, on partira toi et moi, ou je n`sais pas. Il n`y a que les routes qui tremblent, les destinations se resemblent.&quot; It...

    The first cover is by Electric Callboy. I&#39;m going to say they defy neat categorization in a genre, but Qobuz suggests &quot;danceable post-hardcore.&quot; They rock and they&#39;re sexy. And this cover showcases their unique sound. It&#39;s fresh, released in summer 2025. They&#39;re playing in Vancouver and I&#39;m choosing not to travel to see them. But I&#39;m tempted!

    Inspired by @quaap No time to set up the equipment for a critical listen, but some fun #GenreBending. #music 1992 Maggie Reilly - Everytime We Touch. She’s a Scottish singer/song writer. As far as I can tell, this is the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTyCLMA90xM 2006 Cascada. They’re a German dance music act. The verse is new, but the chorus is a cover or sample from the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z260ojNQPA 2023 Electric Callboy. They’re also German, sexy as he...

    I&amp;#39;ve been thinking a lot about what I would want in a sovereign cloud (e.g. replace iCloud / de-Google). What apps are most important to you, if they were hosted in your country? Please boost for visibility. #sovereign #cloud #degoogle #diday
