Contrast in Protests and Parade. Question Whether Soldiers Silently Protested Trump vs Positivity and Joy

In contrast to the huge turnout for the protests, the military parade in Washington, D.C., was a bust... the parade was badly organized, with relatively few people turning out, especially after forecasts of storms Far from the crisp marching of the military parades that Trump seemed to want to top, the U.S. soldiers appeared to shuffle, leading to a socidal media debate over whether they had been ordered to march in an "at ease march” instead of a more rigorous step, or whether they were silently protesting. Photographers recorded empty bleachers and thin crowds. Few Republican lawmakers attended, but cameras caught Trump looking miserable and Secretary of State Marco Rubio yawning.

The contrast between the protests and the military parade suggested an important shift in political culture. The momentum and the joy, as well as the American flags, were on the side of those protesting Trump's growing authoritarianism. Trump looked weak and discouraged, and the crowds were clearly on the side of the protesters. Today, social media, including a Russian account, got into the act of making fun of Trump’s military parade.

At the Philadelphia Inquirer, Will Bunch noted that “the flag is mightier than the tank.”

Surprisingly, #clairobscurexpedition33 and #stalker have something in common. They are both about a willing escape from your normal life into something magical and dangerous. While one is from a personal grief of lost ones and trauma, the other about the repressing totalitarian reality.

Though both feel helpless.

And in both games I made the same choice - healing, however hard it may be. It’s the only one with the future.

It is possible to discover and rediscover that a "bored person" is not who you are. Boredom is just a state of mind.

This Saturday 14th June 2025 I have the choice of watching Trump's birthday party parade on TV or going downtown Lexington, KY for a No Kings peaceful protest.
Therefore Arianna & I plan to visit the Kentucky Renaissance Fair in Eminence, KY instead.

I Don’t Want You to Agree With Me. I Want You to Activate.
My words are not beliefs. They’re friction.

You don’t have to believe what I say. You just have to feel something. If it moves you — use it. If it doesn’t — let it go.

A quick post about an issue I've had while using Futo keyboard. My HSBC bank apps don't open while Futo is the default. I run a different country app on separate phones and neither will open if any other keyboard apart from Gboard or Swiftkey is this default. Yet all the others have passed phone app security and are on Google play store. Revolut app works no problem.

Si da per scontato che entrare nei boschi sia un atto dovuto in quanto la Natura ci appartiene e possiamo sfruttarla come più ci piace. In realtà sarebbe sempre utile chiedere il permesso prima di entrare, come umani fallaci mortali davanti a un oracolo interconesso o come annebbiati psicovirus globali alla ricerca di Sé o del Io sono
