I just finished watching Reality.
It was just as amazing as I thought it would be. A dramatic reenactment of the actual transcript of the FBI’s interrogation of perhaps the most important whistleblower of our time seems to me like a film that’s even more important than “All The President’s Men” was in its day.

#FilmReview 🎞️🍿
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
DIRECTOR Tina Satter
CAST Sydney Sweeney, Marchánt Davis, Josh Hamilton, Benny Elledge, John Way
PLOT Translator and whistle-blower Reality Winner (Sweeney) arrives at her Georgia home to find a team of FBI officers at her door. As her house is searched, she is interrogated about her involvement in the leaking of documents exposing Russia’s interference in the 2016 US election.
Verdict:
“A beautifully understated performance from Sydney Sweeney, paired with stylistically minimalist filmmaking, make for a chilling, compelling chamber piece — finding the humanity underlying even the tensest of confrontations.”
usually the only conspiracy against us is the one which we’ve built in our own mind

Since we know #dreams happen, and that dreams within dreams happen, what are the odds that you are not in some kind of dream right now?
Claiming to be in the ultimate and true and final #reality feels a little like claiming that the sun revolves around the Earth.
I think another Enlightenment is coming.
I cared for my mother for years while raising 3 children and working fulltime. It was impossible at times and caused a lot of stress and a strain on my marriage not everybody can handle that and not every marriage can survive it.
I now care for my husband who lost his leg a few years ago and it is not any easier despite having taken early retirement and my kids being grown. It can be lonely and isolating and stressful.
It should never, ever be expected.

More government retaliation by Republicans. Everyday there are more and more examples of Republicans abusing their power to punish those who disagree with them or take them to court. More and more examples of unconstitutional laws controlling speech, what name someone can use, what entertainment, books, movies they can see and the unamerican warnings to stay away from "their state" if you are not a Republican or be subjected to hostility. #Reality #vote #2024

This is what parents need to do. In this day and age children need phones but they do not need smartphones, tablets or laptops. My children were 18 when they were gifted their first laptops and smartphones. Until then they had flip phones and our home computer that was in the front room. Unfiltered, unsupervised access to the internet for children and teens is dangerous and detrimental to their mental health.
Everyone including adults could use limits. #truth #Reality

If the reason you have children is to have a caretaker when you are old then PLEASE DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN, EVER.
Children are not accessories or future caregivers or anything other than a piece of you to live on. Someone to take care of and love and launch into a successful life of their own not to make your life easier when you are old.
And there is ZERO guarantee your children will take care of you so that should not be your retirement plan. Seriously.

Many of those older Americans voted for the Republicans responsible for this because stopping abortion and taking away the constitutional rights and protections of LGBTQ Americans was more important than voting for politicians that will govern, i.e. pay the country's bills.

None of the pain and grief is necessary. If they would leave the judgement of others to God as they are supposed to there would be no pain or grief. Churches welcome drug addicts, alcoholics, those who worship money or power, adulterers, liars, those who are divorced, who live with a lover without being married, the list goes on and on all without a single objection. No one left the church over it.

Because like America itself the history of the song is complicated and means different things to different people.
Using a show of fealty to a song or a flag as "proof of patriotism" or the lack of one to question their love for their country is unamerican. In America we are free to protest anything in any legal way and it should never lead to questions of loyalty or patriotism or politicians and media figures attacking innocent Americans. #true #Reality

A new theory of quantum mechanics suggests that reality may be a sum of all possible realities, rather than a single one. The theory called the “many interacting worlds” approach, proposes that parallel worlds interact through quantum forces. This could explain some of the paradoxes and mysteries of quantum physics.

Being able to "ride the elevator" in a big company is a great chance but it allows me to see all the decisions on the different levels - and how often the consequences of those hurt. Usually, the management is not used to a person like me, doing this; they not even try to listen. At the same time, if I Would be in the Mngmt I would probably not be able to ride the elevator like this 🤔.

(5/7) In the age of #socialmedia and constant information, it's important to be aware of how media can change our perception of #reality. We need authenticity and truth in the stories we're told, but who can we trust to interpret the #truth? Whistleblowers like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange have dealt with unpleasant truths and found a way to deal with liars in power, but at what cost?

Translation by @wordkunst
How someone can dismiss real generational harm done to Indigenous people because phones and cars exist, while simultaneously decrying the harm of climate change or monarchs...
A lot of the left really struggles to understand problems that don't impact them directly, for all their/our big talk, even while they want to be seen talking about the "real issues".
Seriously this take was "modern phones good, therefore colonialism ok?", while in other posts they were bemoaning climate change (what was causing that again - oh yes those same technologies we're benefiting from, so I guess you shouldn't complain?), or the monarchy for conscription during WW1 (but again, the world is "better" now, so by your logic you should let it go).

If Republicans want to lose in 2024 they are right on course. A party leader indicted in one state and likely to be indicted in another, deadly, draconian abortion bans, book bans, speech bans, medical care bans and even bans on interstate travel, open racism in removing duly elected lawmakers for minor non criminal infractions and an unconstitutional crusade against LGBTQ Americans. Independents will decide 2024 and one of their top concerns is the erosion of democracy. #Reality
She’s not wrong. We should all keep this in mind and temper our reactions. Yes, we love our fandom, but let’s remember it is just entertainment and that these folks have real lives. 🙏🖖 #ActorsArePeople #BeKind #Fandom #Acting #Reality #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard
Regarding Marina Sirtis limited appearance in Picard S3, Jeri Ryan reminds us all: “And I'll just add to that a reminder: actors are PEOPLE. With actual LIVES, OUTSIDE of the shows you watch. And not all actors WANT to have larger roles, requiring more time on set. As is the case here.”
I had a terrific interview with The Thinking #atheist (Seth Andrews) today for the Divorcing Religion #podcast. I will be sure to let you know when it drops. Every interaction I have had with him has been positive. I sure do appreciate those who have managed to divorce religion and embrace #reality.

Three hundred years after the birth of the Renaissance, the best and the brightest of Massachusetts Bay Colony—including the president of Harvard, the wonderfully-named Increase Mather—believed that some of the women in their midst might be witches in league with the devil,"
Good commentary from Greg Olear this morning about how the insanity we've been living through — people choosing to taie horse de-wormer until they died, in the middle of a pandemic, rather than listen to reason and medical science — is not new in American history.
Olear writes,
"North America has been home to a great deal of crazy since the craziest Europeans that could be found settled here 400 years ago."

"Become friends with people who aren't your age."
I dislike tours and arranged travel. I prefer to meet the people, where they are, doing what they do, than that 'tourist view' pushed into brochures.
I've traveled to many countries, and believe this to be true.
@RickiTarr They can shame me all they want. I’m old and on a budget. IDGAF. I like Aldi. They have a limited selection, but they have some great deals, esp. on toilet paper and paper towels. And a lot of the Great Value generic stuff at Walmart is comparable to name brands and much cheaper. #Reality

#Disney is creating a Bahamian themed island in the Bahamas. Disney is doing what? Alternately, you can visit an actual Bahamian island & help the local economy.

Just found my first weird, clearly AI-written article. This was on the FIRST PAGE of a Google search for Terry Kath, even ABOVE terrykath.com. Read the text of the second image and see if you can find the MULTIPLE things that are weird/wrong. The issue here? Confusion. Disinformation. AI is a problem at the very *least* just for that aspect alone.
The article claims it was written by "Eric". So I checked another article of his.
See the third pic.
Did you know Clapton was in the Beatles? fuelrocks.com, huh. 🙄
The internet is just going to fully become this weird place where *nothing* is real or believable anymore.
Questioning things is good for intelligent thought, and the internet can often be a shady place. But the same problem started with images and videos a few years back, even offline, when you couldn't always believe what you saw (think tabloids). These days, any visual medium can be pretty easily faked and manipulated with Photoshop, Blender, Maya, etc.
Now, AI is generating what at first glance, appears to be semi-believable text. But upon closer inspection, there are bizarre and inhuman spots in the writing.
Basically, we're just going to need to *always* remember to verify things we see for truth and accuracy. I mean, if you're into that kind of thing, I guess.
It's a weird new age. And not the *fun* kind of weird.
WEIRD weird.

The viciously anti-science "color is an illusion" meme is making the rounds again. Please post and share the correct explanation, whenever and wherever you see that hot garbage.
@jilleduffy Welcome to the #RealWorld. #UGH (Sorry - I am sarcastic) We could live in a better world if we could agree on #Reality. That has not happened - ever. #Piracy is the order of the day.
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced #Nazi or the convinced #Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the #reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.”

#introduction: I am a #Liberal #Atheist #boomer.
I put a lot of faith in #Science and it's ability to discover #truth and teach us about the #reality we occupy.
#Humanity faces many challenges, the #ClimateCrisis being the biggest and I worry about how #ClimateChange will affect my grandchildren.
I want a world where basic #HumanRights are protected. I want a #fair and #equitable #distribution of #resources. I want a world where the needs of the many outweigh the selfish desires of the few.
We're getting closer to re-envisioning justice. I love the cartoon you showed us, but I worry about the implication that some people's legs aren't long enough. It might not be that those who can't see over the fence have physical deficits. It might be that they have lived their entire lives in deep trenches.

I wrote some reviews of these five non-fiction books and how they changed me during 2022:
- The Case Against Reality
- The Civil War As A Theological Crisis
- Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
- Four Thousand Weeks
- The Myth of Normal

@hacks4pancakes #IfyouDontKnowNowYouKnow "#Gaslighting is a #colloquialism, loosely defined as #manipulating someone so as to make them question their own #reality. The term derives from the title of the 1944 #American film #Gaslight, which was based on the 1938 British theatre play Gas Light by Patrick Hamilton, though the term did not gain popular currency in #English until the mid-2010s"

In it, @louisew & I wrestle with #reality / realities, think about what it means to #age in different #Culture settings. dive into the #anthropology of place names and whether #winter is a time of slowing down.
Please have a listen, boost if you will - and enjoy every riotous second of the madness!
@markhenick
It's like using statistics of an engine to guess how long your engine will last with the amount or upkeep you do. The science is taking it apart and analysing the ware and other factors for the period or use. Then they can determine with much more accuracy. I hope this helps you to understand the truth.

M.C. Escher on Creativity and Grasping the Largest Mystery Through the Immense Beauty of the Very Small
“What is that so-called reality; what is this theory other than a beautiful but primordially human illusion?”
Nothing shapes our experience of reality, and nothing limits it, more than our frames of reference.
