Mastering the art of the power pap: the penguins nod off >10,000 times per day, engaging in bouts of slow-wave sleep lasting on average only 4 seconds, but resulting in the accumulation of >11 hours of sleep for each hemisphere.

Penguins 🐧 have developed the skill of micro-sleeping 💤 to get enough total rest. I wonder if humans could learn that too?

Well so far been a pretty quiet Thanksgiving, had a nice filling Lunch of Turkey, Dressing, Roll, and Green Bean Casserole.

Watching #StarTrek VI this afternoon and not sure how much I can stay awake for since that meal was very filling and can feel that need to take a #nap soon.

I do want to watch some Star Wars too but depends on if I'm awake long enough to do that.

Time for a #nap this #rainy afternoon.

Done with what tasks I needed to tend too today so I don't have to do much of anything else, waiting for USPS to deliver 1 thing and then Amazon delivers later in the evening.

1pm and I'm barely able to stay awake due to the nice rain.

Good start to the Monday! I could go for a nap this afternoon! But, that's not the case! Did my review of the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. I found it to be better than the previous generation. It'll do the job for anyone. Let's get this thing on #sale for #blackfriday

Harald Mayer und Hannsjürgen Brennecke klagen seit 2017 auf Zugang zu Natrium-Pentobarbital (NaP), dem derzeit geeignetsten Mittel zur Selbsttötung. Es wird seit über 20 Jahren in der Schweiz zur Freitodbegleitung eingesetzt und hat sich dort bewährt. Gestern verhandelte das Bundesverwaltungsgericht (BVerwG) in Leipzig über ihre Klage. Der Arbeitskreis Selbstbestimmtes Sterben Oldenburg hatte anlässlich dessen zu einer Kundgebung vor dem BVerwG aufgerufen. Mitglieder des Arbeitskreises waren aus Oldenburg angereist. Weitere Teilnehmer:innen der Kundgebung kamen aus Sachsen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Hannover, Saarbrücken und anderen Teilen Deutschlands, um die Kläger zu unterstützen.

When you wake up at 0540 every day, something wonderful happens if you take an afternoon nap. It makes the day feel like two days long. When you’re older, time remaining is always ticking. It just feels like it’s going slower when you can nap. #Nap #Retirement

Merricat reminds you to never underestimate the power of a good #nap. I have never slept as soundly as she sleeps, but it is incredibly soothing to watch her excel at it.

A fluffy, long-haired grey and white cat sleeps stretched out on her back on a shaggy white faux fur blanket, nearly camouflaging her floofy white belly. The blanket is on a black couch cushion and her head hangs upside down just beyond the outside edge of the cushion. She has a patch of grey fur on her nose in the shape of a spade, white cheeks, and a grey patch of fur on her chin. Her white front legs are raised, with their paws limply flopped down. It doesn't look like the most comfortable sleeping position, but she is out cold.

The blanket is on a black couch cushion and her head hangs upside down just beyond the outside edge of the cushion, revealing a grey, triangular patch of fur on her chin and jaw. Her white front legs are raised, with their paws limply flopped down. It doesn't look like the most comfortable sleeping position, but she is out cold. Believe it or not, that irresistible, luxuriously soft belly is (usually) not a trap.

Well, I managed to #nap for at least 2 1/2 hours this afternoon. I’m still not fully awake.

CWs and Weber's Monopoly on Legitimacy

Max Weber defined government, in a much misinterpreted phrase, as "the only human community which lays claim to the monopoly on the legitimated use of physical force". ALL TERMS ARE SIGNIFICANT. Far too many readers focus on "use of physical force", but any playground bully, mean drunk, or capricious idiot can use violence. Government requires legitimacy, typically only bequeathed by the governed, and a monopoly on that legitimacy, meaning no other agent can make a countering claim within a given region.

The definition is reflexive and tautological:

  • An entity with a monopoly on the legitimate use of force is a government or state, regardless of what it calls itself.
  • A region with no monopoly on legitimacy is ungoverned.
  • An entity lacking legitimacy, regardless of what it calls itself, is not a government.

Rather than casting this as a monopoly on force, it's far more useful to consider this a monopoly on legitimacy.

The model is, as all models are, wrong. But it is, as some models are, also useful, in two principle ways.

One is that it provides a useful lens through which to consider government, governance, and polity, stripped of most ideological or structural biases. We can ask how, or whether, a democracy, personality cult, autonomous collective, theocracy, dictatorship, representational republic, monarchy, company town, oligarchy, or other forms have legitimacy and/or monopoly over use of force.

The other is that in being so widely misquoted, misinterpreted, and misrepresented, it is a highly useful bullshit filter for identifying those who are either ignorant of what they speak, or are intentionally attempting to mislead, in discussions of governance.

This includes virtually all Rothbardian/Randian/Misian Libertarians and their "nonaggression principle", notably Charles Koch and Penn Gilette, both of whom explicitly cite this as the foundation of their belief. From a false premise all that follows is false.
