Is there actually any AI that is not capitalistically operated and if so, how can you make sure that it stays that way and that it is not sold to the most bidding capitalist after it has eaten and digested our data?
Apart from the fact that the environment and climate will become even more in deficit due to the resources required, I fear that in a very short time the gap between rich and poor will drift exponentially apart and total control over everyone and everything will fall into the already dirty hands of a few narcissists.

A lot of things have developed so strangely and in a very short time that I often think I'm just hallucinating them all, like Sam Lowry, who was tortured in the movie "Brazil" shortly before he dies at the hands of his torturers, who were nothing more than the henchmen of a few narcissistic rich people who controlled everything.

Dear Fedi friends, I need your help!

We are working on motion graphics for the Fediverse promotional video... and we would love to do a sequence at the end with a mosaic of people's profile photos. For that, I need your consent.

If you'd like to have a small cameo in our video, can you let us know if we can use your profile pic?

Thanks! 🙏

Can you please boost this?

"Stars On A Trail"

Please click the post above to reveal the whole path of that thread.

This thread about Star Trails is a long trip through the photo archives of NASA and ESA. Some of you have already seen my affinity for these archives, and in threads like this one I would like to make you understand my fascination. So if you like, follow me this time on my trail in all directions back and forward in time, past beautiful, special, extreme and even magical places, through a gallery of wonderful images, provided by great often volunteer astrophotographers who are generous enough to share their love and fascination for the stars around us ..

Please visit their websites, leave friendly and encouraging comments and maybe you will even have the opportunity to support them financially or logistically. On each of my posts you can find a link to the archive pages and many of the astrophotographers leave a link there or even a mail-address

I can hardly express my great gratitude for all the magic and beauty and I sincerely hope that these archives will be available to us for a long time to come! But you never know, with the power-obsessed destructive Lunatics these days..

Anyway, I really hope you enjoy this trail with me.

This is an image of the album cover of Georg Danzer's long-playing record "Feine Leute" from 1979.

On this cover you can see the back of young Georg as he opens his coat in an exhibitionistic way in front of a frightened "high society" of rich snobs in a correspondingly fine ambience and lets them see the naked truth.. You can find the translated text of the title track "Feine Leute" here:

Fine people

Fine people never sweat
never go to work either
Fine people never lie
Tell only the truth
Fine people never pee in the flower vase
Never fall out of roll or on the fine nose
Oh, they were born under a fine star
Oh, I just like fine people

Fine people drinking tea and eat cake
Sitting on the couch
You never hear them cursing
Fine people are well-groomed,
honest, nice and open
are built up by higher things
and affected by the suffering of others
everything all too human is far from them
Oh, I just like fine people

Fine people are loyal
But only to their own kind
And they're so liberal
They're so nice, the rich ones
Fine people thank God,
because they are so happy
That they are fine people,
well, that's just the way it is
Yes, I love you, ladies gentlemen
Oh, I just like fine people

@sloanlance

Some spoiled rich snobbish brat asked me here what my post was supposed to have to do with #citrusasongorpoem at all.
(.. I guess the oyster slurper means I shouldn't be here at all)
I can only answer, learn to read diligently or take the lemon slices from your eyes, otherwise there'll be sauerkraut for you... Dolt!
:/
But anyway, enjoy yourself and have a limette, sour day, you grapefruit.
And for the next time:
Don’t bang on my can! Go away and pollute your own backyard, wren.

But for now, I'm going to treat myself to a nice tequila, but please don't do it without salt and lemon!

Nice Cover replace! This was 1972 the original cover of their album "Ege Bamyası "
the "Aegean okra" is rich in Vitamin C

..

Andy Warholls famous
"Campbell's Lemon Juice Soup - Quadrology"

"The Darkness of Lemon Juice Soup

In shadows deep, where lemons weep their spit,
A broth of sorrow boils beneath pale light.
Each drop a tear, a memory's sharp sting,
That lingers on the tongue like bitter fate.
The flavor churns, a soupy grave for smiles,
And in that bowl, reflections twist and bend—
Where faces lost meet citrus cries of night. "

Applause Applause for the "Carnival of the Animals" in a new phenomenal lime-up !!!

It's a real shame that the website 'helenspets.com' seems to be unavailable nowadays, but by chance I came across this 14-year-old video, in which a cat riding on a robot vacuum cleaner dresses up as a shark, a larger dog in a hammerhead shark costume and a brave duckling give a theater rendezvous.

Here is the poem and a lemon-tree:

The Daring Dance of the Duckling

In a world where shadows swim and glide,
A brave little duckling, unshaken inside,
With feathers so bright, kissed by the sun,
Dreamt of adventures—her journey begun.

Two sharks in the water, fierce jaws agape,
Wove through the waves, challenging fate.
Yet fearless she paddled, her heart full of glee,
Beneath the vast skies and a lemon-tree.

"Fear not!" she quacked to the friends of the deep,
"For courage lies in those who leap!
Together we'll dash through tempest and tide,
When friendship grows strong, we shed fear aside."

With every bold stroke, they danced on the swell,
The duckling and sharks crafted tales to tell.
Through whispers of lemons—their laughter combined—
A bond forged in water that no storm could unwind.

@r3t3ch

well, even if hand puppets were ephemeral, the memories live on .. /..

to be honest, I like to draw on my childhood memories, they give moments in the present a special shine, which unfortunately is missing often in reality.
I very much hope that what the kids
experience today will also give their later everyday life this magic ..

@r3t3ch

hehe ..
nice do you still have it ?

@grobi @toot

Now that’s what I call a real mess!

:/

@toot

..

That’s disgusting!
I’m in no mood for this ..
I don’t want to talk about it!

:/

🤣

I love your trash

in which treasures are hidden,
but even though our throwaway society lives in abundance, many feel consumed by inner emptiness.
Some people become depressed because of it,
others become aggressive
and those who are unhappy
buy something new and throw away something old.
Not that I'm not happy about what I've found, but this is also a testament
to the fact that we prefer to trust consumer goods rather than ourselves and those around us.
What a waste..

After all, there is nothing more significant in our lifetimes than the times we spend together.
