A quotation from Horace

Years foll’wing Years, steal something ev’ry day,
At last they steal us from our selves away;
In one our Frolicks, one Amusements end,
In one a Mistress drops, in one a Friend:
This subtle Thief of Life, this paltry Time,
What will it leave me, if it snatch my Rhime?
 
[Singula de nobis anni praedantur euntes;
eripuere iocos, Venerem, convivia, ludum;
tendunt extorquere poemata: quid faciam vis?]

Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 2 “To Julius Florus,” l. 55ff (2.2.55-57) (14 BC) [tr. Pope (1737)]

British #establishment, thieves at the top, maintaining control over a struggling populace. There seems little point in bothering to vote. One set of thieves appears so like the previous bunch.

Is career and personal gain all any of them care about?
Do #politicians in #Westminster care one iota that they are failing their own country and the people?

British electoral system needs complete reform, PR and an elected second house. Get rid of the #failing party system.

Is it just me or is #GitHub constantly #failing with various errors today?

It the same everywhere in capitalism, the companies make it easy to take your money, but giving it back is "hard" for them.
So also #claude #code #anthropic

I said: just stop. give me my money back. please! you don't know how to do this. so please stop taking my money, return it to me

claude code said: I don't have the ability to process refunds or handle billing matters. For any refund requests or billing questions, you need to contact Anthropic's support team

You're doing all the things you're supposed to be doing. You listened to the gurus, learned as much as you could, and started putting yourself out there. You're creating your art, but you've also set up a website, social media profiles, email campaigns, maybe even advertising and direct mail. You're checking all the boxes.

I've been there too. #advice #failing

#Morgenstund Augenwund... A to-be-king and a wanna-be-king, unified in a white-gilded dream.

Intriguing, how the "will of the people" changed from beheading nobility to kneeling before them in just two centuries.

Comparing yourself to others is the fastest way to lose your own magic. Stay in your lane, honour your path, and watch how far you go when you stop keeping score.

A year ago, voters feared the economy — and that fear helped Trump win. Today, the tables have turned: Americans are feeling it in their wallets, with rising grocery prices, soaring costs, and mass corporate job cuts. Trump is now the face of a failing economy. #Failing www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

“The UK govt’s insistence on supporting the Israeli military machine despite its actions in #Gaza & the #WestBank is not only trashing the UK’s self-declared position as a champion of the ‘international rules-based order’, it is a #moral #failing of massive proportions.”
