for anyone else out there who might now be wondering why meditation is good:

calming the mind also calms the body and so can actually heal physical ailments too.

having a calm mind also makes it easier to make better decisions and to be more loving and kind. you will have a better relationship with yourself, with others & society.

sometimes in some types of meditation, one wants to clear the head completely and not have any thoughts at all. it’s incredibly super duper oh so hard to achieve that nothing state, but highly recommend taking steps with mindfulness & meditation to get there (sometimes when possible).

also, meditation is hard like working out. sometimes one doesn’t do it nearly enough (every day), but we would have a much better world if we all did, just like working out, surfing under the sun, or being in nature.

if you believe in bitcoin the way many talk about it,

i t w i l l w i n .

and the democrats will be convinced too,

or they won’t have a choice but to accept it’s place in the world.

bitcoin is already mainstream in important places, and will quickly keep gaining significance.

kamala & her bosses will ~want~ to participate in the bitcoin ecosystem.

making america great again, trump style:

also from last night.

music from a cellist in Ireland for the dems and for Barack Obama who is part Irish. ☘️

last night, i listened to doug emhoff and his son (kamala’s stepson). it really was so genuine and pleasant — heartwarming. michelle & barack obama were great to hear too. they all had positive, down-to-earth vibes with messages connecting people together.

they also debunk 𝕏 misinformation.

[of course you need to (make it easier to) increase housing supply for prices & rents to come down.]

i also ran across a video of trump’s daughter-in-law, Kim Guilfoyle, don jr.’s wife. she was making dinner at home while wearing a high heels, in full hair & make up.

it also says a lot when trump’s current wife and their son are not at all supporting trump. i think people end up hating their own family members often because of deep distrust (disgust).

trump is obviously not a trustworthy, wholesome person.

among so many disgusting things like rape & defrauding other business owners, he’s a traitor who called an insurrectionist mob to try to literally stay in office after he was voted out. he actually wanted mike pence, his own chosen vp, to be murdered.

again, trump is not mentally stable & certainly not trustworthy.

i enjoyed the RFK interview. the positive messaging he brings and honesty with identifying real problems & their true causes is obviously amenable to a more peaceful world.

…but❕

do many RFK Jr. supporters need to prepare for gut-wrenching, profound disappointment❔❕

shanahan just talked about possibly ending the kennedy campaign and joining trump as a trump supporter.

that would be incredibly antithetical to the third party / independent goal, hope, necessity‼️

email?

blink-182 fanatics,

look at tom❣️ 😭😭 😂😂

he’s exactly the same now as he was back then.

and it’s obvious that his

innocent & s u p e r c u t e

soul remains intact 🥹 ✨🙏✨

(same for mark & travis!)

foss ftw

what they’re doing is monstrous. “little tech” is supppsed to relate to “little people” too. they want everyone to think they care about regular americans and america while they try to put monstrous trump in power.

as if to say, “little tech AND little people matter most in america, and we’re protecting ALL the little people. ~but~ only the most disgusting reptile, donald trump, will be able to help us protect all little people. american supremacy ~depends~ on trump, the rapist, fraudster, treasonous traitor and criminal. we declare reason as our guide in determining this! do you see our bullet points?! we are not being disgusting monstrosities ourselves. reason has made it so.”

thank you for the article. i hope you’re having a nice weekend. ☀️🌱

if at some point you care to explain why, i’m curious & all ears. ✨

we have lots of agreement, but i still have lots of thoughts about all this. 🥹 just gonna put it all here, since the thread gives more context. 🙏

i think with jan 6, the narrative came before it. trump and people like him used social media to create & drive the narrative that he won and he shouldn’t leave office.

social media enabled trump’s insurrection attempt. the mob organized online and trump’s narrative is the reason why/the justification for those treasonous psychopaths storming the capital and calling for mike pence to be hanged.

the cuts/edits of different scenes are true pieces of the whole occurrence.

maga was violent on their own, from the start.

blm demonstrations happened all over the country and were mostly peaceful. maybe some of the claims/narratives that led up to the blm demonstrations were misconstrued (i dunno), but the main underlying grievance of systemic racism is real, true & justfied. and if violence erupted, it was from cops showing up & treating people unfairly. or from fringe/bad blm protestors taking criminal advantage (looting) of the situation.

but blm protests were not organized or initiated with intended violence like the jan 6 insurrectionist mobs.

the libs of tt person’s narrative results from a hate-filled & arrogant personality, and she earns a living from her clicks. elon pays her lots of money to instill a psychotic, racist & vicious mindset in their less intelligent & vulnerable followers. she’s not a journalist, so ofc she’s not looking for balance, and they’re not looking to solve problems with calm objectivity & education. she’s a fear & hate monger sided with the conservative tribe on the right. for example, trump is himself a rapist & client of epstein, so he raped girls too. but elon & the libs of tt girl want you to forget that and believe it’s only illegal immigrants from africa or south america that are raping girls & women. it’s deliberately psychotic & culturally harmful & insidious.

the immigration problem in the states should be solved but not while increasing misogyny, animosity between people, or racial hatred .

mentally unhealthy people, those who have broken personalities do not create healthy theories about society and do not treat others well. negative, fearful, hateful or psychotic personalities create negative, fearful, hateful or psychotic narratives. they don’t know what they’re doing could be evil & would never admit that they don’t know better.

powerful people have the most influence on narratives. others follow w whatever tribe they choose & often do not voice dissent even when they know they should.

we desperately need (at least) a third (political/cultural) tribe.

if RFK jr can win, we can make a big steer away from the divisive narrative structures that have trapped us in a ridiculous reality & be more calm & rational.

if we all could become a wholesome collective of independent, thoughtful people, willing to thoughtfully engage & learn from each other (while ofc also not being so full of fear of retribution), that would be such a nice dream made real.

joe hungry now. bring joe favorite snack. joe want creatine-bourbon-ranch dressing-banana smoothie.

i can see where you’re coming from, because it all seems so ridiculous. like, how can so much of this be real?!

but these mobs are real. the hateful rhetoric is real.

the jan 6 idiocy & violence was real. real right-wing, republican maga folks. not actors.

it all seems so absurd and one is tempted to call them fake, but it’s an unfortunate & real consequence of social media...

these days especially, most people have no mind of their own, so loud social media accounts fill these zombie-prone, empty-headed folks with their nonsense or hate.

mobs are formed. idiots are led by idiots/evil/both.

𝕏 is bankrolling libs of tik tok, bc that’s the kind of thing lowlifes get emotional over. the psychotic & hateful vibe makes empty ppl feel full (of themselves) & addicted. it’s all real. when social media platforms need to make money from ads, all that matters is click number go up. there are more lowlife kind of degenerate people than there are good people, so at scale, especially without principled, honest & good leaders, it’s a swamp situation of more n more swamp…real swamp.
