They're fine. I mean, they're not fine-fine, but hollowed. You know, like the rest of us. Harmless. Hopeless. And that's the way they planned it. To make us the same as the bees. A dead colony, atomised in a trillion directions with no way home again.

“Eclipse of the light of heaven, eclipse of God - such indeed is the character of the historic hour through which the world is now passing.” – Martin Buber
[Alive On All Channels]
For years now, Google has been tweaking its search formula to prop up AI and bury actual links. Now it’s rounding into its final form—and ch
This summer, researchers at internet provider Cloudflare reported that “automated bot traffic has eclipsed human activity on the Internet, now generating roughly 57% of all web requests. This milestone emphasizes a seismic evolution from an Internet built for human clicks to a digital landscape now dominated by AI agents.” It’s no surprise, then, that anyone who relied on search engine inbound traffic is taking a hit. We are well and truly in the predicted “Google Zero” era. It’s also no surprise that these new numbers are altering the long-established calculus about whether outlets want to submit themselves to Google Search. Currently, Google’s offering is all-or-nothing: If you want to show up in search results, you’re also agreeing to let the company feed your content into the maw of its Gemini AI apparatus. And an increasing number of people and properties aren’t particularly interested in that arrangement.

Last month, after AdWeek’s Mark Stenberg reported on some of the fed-up companies that were considering withdrawing their content from Google’s indexes, he received a number of social media comments from some mom-and-pop shops of the internet. The people behind a recipe blog called Inspired Taste referred to Google’s business model as a “hostage situation,” adding: “As you already know, what Google is doing to recipes is shameful.” Another webmaster piped up to say that “we have discussed blocking Google completely so we can protect our copyrighted content from AI scraping theft. The Google traffic is so small anyway because they have nuked our website”—My Sex Toy Guide dot com, in case you’re wondering!—“from their search results.” On September 15, Cloudflare will change its settings to block Google crawlers by default.

President Trump signs executive order regarding childhood vaccines. It's NOT good!
Dr. Zachary Rubin goes over President Amber Alert's absurd new executive order on childhood vaccine schedules and it unnecessarily adds even more pediatrician visits for each child. Clementine Caligula's bizarre lie about infants and toddlers given soda bottle amounts of vaccines is utter bullshit. As usual with the GOP there's absolutely no scientific evidence for any of his new schedules. The GOP is a damn death cult!

“Nine days and nine nights I lay between life and death in this desolate symmetrical villa, consumed by fever, and that hateful two-faced Janus that looks toward the sunset and the dawn lent horror to my deliriums and my sleeplessness. I came to abominate my own body, I came to feel that two eyes, two hands, two lungs are as monstrous as two faces. An Irishman tried to convert me to belief in Christ; he would repeat, over and over, the goyim’s saying: All roads lead to Rome. At night, my delirium would grow fat upon that metaphor: I sensed that the world was a labyrinth, impossible to escape — for all roads, even if they pretended to lead north or south, returned finally to Rome, which was also the rectangular prison where my brother lay dying, and which was also the Villa Triste-le-Roy. During those nights, I swore by the god that sees with two faces, and by all the gods of fever and of mirrors, to weave a labyrinth around the man who had imprisoned my brother.”

“The only link between the verbal and objective world is exclusively structural, necessitating the conclusion that the only content of all ‘knowledge’ is structural. Now structure can be considered as a complex of relations, and ultimately as multi-dimensional order. From this point of view, all language can be considered as names for unspeakable entities on the objective level, be it things or feelings, or as names of relations.”

The order reaffirms the dramatic overhaul to the vaccine schedule that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced earlier this year. Those changes have been blocked in court.
President Donald Trump on Monday issued an executive order that aims to reduce the number of universally recommended vaccines for children — a move that reaffirms the dramatic overhaul Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced earlier this year that has been blocked in the courts.
Similar to that vaccine schedule change, the new order recommends that the list of diseases that all children should be vaccinated against drop from 18 to 11, according to a fact sheet obtained by NBC News. The other shots would be subject to so-called shared clinical decision-making between a parent and their child’s doctor.

The sensation of time (sensation de temps) is not a consciousness of time. It lacks the temporal extension that is achieved by the constitutive work of consciousness. The sensation of time takes place before the synthesis of consciousness. The time in question is not one which signifies, but one which affects. For an instant, it rises like an 'affective cloud' in order to disappear into nothingness.' An event is not a theme to which consciousness could relate, but a trauma which cannot be captured by consciousness, which is entirely outside its control or annuls it. Lyotard's response to the decay of meaning-ful time is not the usual nihilism, but an animism of a particular kind. Primary sense perception does not have a content that could be taken as a theme by consciousness; rather, it awakens the soul to life. It wrests the soul away from death, from the lethargy into which it would fall if it were not animated by it by the 'pleasure in welcoming the unknown'.
