i'm not as long-winded and don't have the heart to write much anymore, but this old blog post is still pertinent... most of my thoughts came from Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, by Richard Bach. read it, for real.

In a morally reprehensible world,
we try to find the most depraved of all... 🤦♀️
Oh God.

In the past
that has already been written
In the present
that we are living through
And in the future
that is still open
All of this makes us who we are
All of this guides us

Sometimes even the most convoluted, wild, and crude conspiracy theories cannot reflect reality....
Seen this way
in the world and everything that happens...

When kisses end in silence
only hope remains
When love simply ends
and cannot continue
When sadness always prevails
and joy is overshadowed by it
Then the time has come
to break new ground
With a heavy heart, one must look ahead
Everything new weighs so heavily
Even if the heart has a heavy burden to bear
you know you have to look ahead

"The most valuable resource of the 21st century is your attention – and no one mines it more efficiently than Mark Zuckerberg. In 2025, Meta generated $196 billion in advertising revenue."*
I especially like the first part of the sentence, i.e. #attention being the most valuable #resource these days - this is something you should internalise. It's an investors perspective and it's verisimilitude is confirmed by the company values of this industry (#Meta , #Google, #Twitter, etc.).
From an individual perspective this is true as well - for you and me attention means #time, and time is the only resource we'll never be able to gain, we automatically lose it with every passing second.
It's therefore outrageous how much time people give away freely, to companies, who's business model is maximizing the time you spend on them. And just as a side note - apparently, according to the newsletter this quote is taken from, soon Meta will even ask you to pay for it. Absurd. Yet, in Germany the average #screentime is ~5h per day, with nearly 3h going to #socialmedia apps like #Facebook, #Instagram, #tiktok etc.
I wonder, what's your life worth to yourself?

If there's anything I learned today, I learned that the best internet experience is hunted for and not handed down to you. My actual home feed is back and working, but I'm sticking with the one I made using the list.
