Go FUCK OFF in the best way possible.

One prefers to be civil on Twitter, but here's an idea for you: Fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Fuck off until you come up to a gate with a sign saying "You Can't Fuck Off Past Here". Climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.

Moving at the speed of light, it would take about 1.6 years to travel the length of HH212's jets
By Jonathan Amos
Science correspondent

Imagine you could go back in time 4.6 billion years and take a picture of our Sun just as it was being born. What would it look like?

Well, you can get a clue from this glorious new image acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Towards the centre of this object, called HH212, is a star coming into existence that is probably no more than 50,000 years old.

The scene would have looked much the same when our Sun was a similar age.

You can't actually see the glow from the protostar itself because it's hidden within a dense, spinning disc of gas and dust.

All you get are the pinky-red jets that it's shooting out in polar opposite directions.

[Just Like] Starting Over was released 45 days before John Lennon was murdered on the 8th of December 1980. It was Lennon’s final single released in his lifetime. As my blogger friend Max mentioned in a recent post: Lennon has been dead longer than he was alive, which puts things into perspective..too much bloody perspective.

[Just Like] Starting Over was the first new release from Lennon after a 5-year absence from the music industry. It was chosen by Lennon not because he felt it was the best track on the album, but because it was the most appropriate following his five-year absence from the recording industry. He referred to it during production as the “Elvis/Orbison” track, as he “tongue in cheek” impersonated their vocal styles. 

I was fascinated by Starting Over growing up since it appeared on his posthumous compilation The John Lennon Collection. I don’t know how many times I put the needle down on this record (see image left), but it was a lot. We had one of those old wooden turntables which look like a dresser, and I remember sitting at the front of the fireplace and listening to it and starting over (reminiscent of the song). It was between Elton John, Don Williams, Abba and John Lennon in my early youth who I heard the most from.

[Intro]
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown – we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let’s take a chance and fly away somewhere alone

[Verse 1]
It’s been too long since we took the time
No-one’s to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It’s like we both are falling in love again
It’ll be just like starting over (over)
Starting over (over)

[Outro]
Our life together is so precious together
We have grown – we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let’s take a chance and fly away somewhere…
(Over and over and over)
Starting over

“All through the taping of “Starting Over,” I was calling what I was doing “Elvis Orbison”: “I want you I need only the lonely.” I’m a born-again rocker, I feel that refreshed, and I’m going right back to my roots.”

– John Lennon

Composition (from the Wikipedia article below):

Although its origins were in unfinished demo compositions like “Don’t Be Crazy” and “My Life”, it was one of the last songs to be completed in time for the Double Fantasy sessions. “We didn’t hear it until the last day of rehearsal,” producer Jack Douglas said in 2005. Lennon finished the song while on holiday in Bermuda, and recorded it at The Hit Factory in New York City just weeks later. The song was originally titled “Starting Over”; however, “(Just Like)” was added prior to its release because of its similarity to Dolly Parton’s “Starting Over Again” which had topped the US Country Charts earlier in the year. The chiming bell that opens the song was a deliberate allusion to the heavy tolling church bell that opens Lennon’s 1970 song “Mother”, illustrating how far Lennon had come in ten years.

Our Vision, #WaldenEcovillage

"We see a world in which the creative spirit is alive, in which life is an adventure full of joy and hope, based rather upon the impulse to construct than upon the desire to retain what we possess or to seize what is possessed by others.

It will be a world in which affection has free play, in which love is purged of the instinct for domination, in which cruelty and envy have been dispelled by happiness and the unfettered development of all the instincts that build up life and fill it with mental and physical delights."

Generative AI is changing everything. But what's left when the hype is gone? |

Text-to-image models are just the start. Generative AI could eventually be used to produce designs for everything from new buildings to new drugs—think *text-to-X*.

“People are going to realize that #technique or #craft is no longer the barrier—it’s now just their ability to #imagine,” says Nelson.

Computers are already used in several industries to generate vast numbers of possible designs that are then sifted for ones that might work. Text-to-X models would allow a human designer to fine-tune that generative process from the start, using words to guide computers through an infinite number of options toward results that are not just possible but desirable.

Computers can conjure spaces filled with infinite possibility. Text-to-X will let us explore those spaces using words.

“I think that’s the legacy,” says Altman. “Images, video, audio—eventually, everything will be generated. I think it is just going to seep everywhere

“I couldn't really imagine, what it's like to not imagine…” 

PHOTOREALISTIC IMAGINATION - APHANTASIA - HYPERPHANTASIA

Imagine…rather picture.. no, visualize a place in your m.....

What if none of these were an option for your brain?  No going to your happy place, where the flowers are in bloom and the tea is hot?  No being comforted by the golden sunset on the beach, or the vista from atop the mountain in your minds eye.  Yes, “I couldn't really imagine what it's like to not imagine…”

The experience of those that live with Aphantasia, can be accompanied by memory issues and difficulty remembering faces. This is not to say, that these individuals cannot retain information, or remember intricate detail.  When giving descriptions, people with Aphantasian will often cite detailed facts and data, rather than using imagery. Many are likely to be introverted, as well.

Some information on Aphantasia, dates back to the1880s but, there hasn’t been a lot of attention on the subject until recent years. The brain’s cerebral cortex is thought to function differently, causing interference with mental visualization. One view on Aphantasia considers, it may only be a different way of thinking; suggesting the Neurodivergent, rather than the neurological.

With Hyperphantasia, some people experience powerful imagery generation within the mind; or being said to have “Photorealistic Imagination”.

"Typically, individuals with hyper-imagination are able to construct imagery that is beyond detailed and brightly outlined—resulting in some individuals having the capability even to experience a 360-degree vision.."

Paul Deretskiy

The contrast between Aphantasia and Hyperphantasia, is just another fascinating reflection of the human mind.  The links below are definitely a rabbit hole worth exploring. It seems I may know a bit about photorealistic imagery, as well as little more about myself.   Imagining what one with Aphantasia may experience, I’m at a loss...

I imagine it may feel… like “being blind in your mind”.  I couldn’t imagine, “what it’s like not to imagine”.

Image: A work of art by John Hain. 

A very detailed image of a human brain comprised of a faintly visible black foundation. The white background peeks though the brain’s dark canvas, vividly illustrating the 3D texture of the “mind”.

A plethora of words and images cover nearly every portion of the brain in a spectrum of different colors and shades. 

To recite every “cell" of this brain made of words, would likely take weeks.  Among the countless words and images:

Stars, hearts, flowers, theater masks and maybe more brains.

Words like love, peace, understand, trust, feel, and listen are only some of the thoughts from the mind in this thought provokingwork of art. 

The first link above leads to more of John's art and links to his website.

It's 42 years since John Lennon died today, so it seems appropriate to share this piece for #TBT, which I created for Secret 7" a few years back.

It's still one of my favourite illustrations so far, so I think I might do a similar piece as a polymer painting some time next year ✌️

Imagine if we didn’t try to ‘win’ every issue or always defend our ‘hot take’? Imagine if we didn’t frame everything as ‘us’ vs ‘them’? Imagine if they hadn’t focused so much on teaching us team-sports in schools, or dividing us up into competitive house systems, where a different colour top made someone else an enemy to be defeated rather than a fellow player enjoying the same game? Imagine if our success didn’t always have to come at someone else’s expense? Imagine if we acknowledged that we don’t have all the answers and that some of what we think is probably wrong? Imagine if we listened instead of just drafted replies in our heads? Imagine if we hadn’t been so well trained by our culture not to imagine?

All You Need Is Love. And someone on minimum wage to change your sheets, so you can continue your bed-in. #Imagine

IMAGINE THERE'S NO TWITTER... 🤔

It's easy if you try
No hellish trolling
Or that unfunny Tesla guy
Imagine all the people
Not blocking folk all day

Ah-aaah-aah-aah-aah

Imagine there's no blue tick
It isn't hard to do
No crypto diehards
No @realdonaldtrump, too
Imagine all the people
Boosting toots in peace

You-oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

You may say I'm a dreamer
But if Twitter's ever gone
I hope some day you'll join us
In the world of Mastodon

@nova It would be great if such could catch on across the fediverse. Likely to solve many problems. #imagine #lennon etc.
