I have a friend who lives in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean and he told me today that there's an American warship in their waters. He's between the ship and Venezuela , caught in the middle on a small island. He said that people are panic buying and he sent me a message saying goodbye in case the war breaks out. He said, "If they drop bombs we are all dead." All I could do was say I'm sorry and pray that it doesn't happen.

Last year was full of hospital and clinic appointments and this year it's dwindled down to none.

I don't mind being 'forgotten' if it's a genuine error but it worries me how I've gone from diagnosis; medication issued and physical treatment to nothing with no clear explanation as to why.

And I have a brain and the ability to try and get answers.
I feel genuine worry for all those who don't have the tech or knowledge or skills to be able to do the same

The rise of authoritarianism in liberal democracies is scaring me.

With Japan electing Sanae Takaichi, a hard line conservative who may want to resurrect the Empire of Japan, I'm concerned that she may want to ally with Tяump an Netanyahu to form the 21st century "Axis Powers."
Do not put anything past these right wing conservative extremists.
We must however, wait to see what Sanae Takaichi's policies actually look like.

Prevalence of Ai.

How do we believe anything any more unless it's right in front of our eyes, if Ai can just generate any video or image almost indistinguishable from real life

I also hate to think what it does to art, that it removes the human spirit from the entertainment we eat up

Nothing really.

They have been trying to scare everyone with some horrible event since before I was ever born.
The rapture, word war 3, some economic collapse, some new virus (not just covid), world wide hunger, The end of physical currency (that was suppose to happen by 1995).

And today, the videos about "What is coming is worse than you can imagine." Then life goes on as always. Good times and bad. Ups and downs.

Around 1990 or 1991, they were pushing the idea of the rapture. I asked my dad, "If that is going to happen soon and we are all going to h3ll, why are people just living like nothing is going on? Like normal lives?"
All he said was, "Oh they have been saying that for 2,000 years."

Trump

Absolutely nothing. Some things make me angry but nothing makes me scared.

Multiculturalism

After about 2 minutes of thought I can honestly say nothing scares me

I am currently unconcerned

The rapid development of AI!

Donuts are way too expensive.

Religious authoritarianism.

It's been rampant for thousands of years, yet now it maybe too late.

Donald Trump.

Research into bio weapons

War in Europe
Inflation
Ordinary people bringing back the same rhetoric that was common before and during WW2, then the target were Jews, now they're Ukrainians

Democracy in which people remain wilfully ignorant or wedded to their tribe, then use their vote to marginalise and harm the interests of others.

AI, lack of empathy, authoritarianism, inflation

Wars genocide corruption greed

To see “killer” reelected this time. What were people thinking?!

Nothing.. even if the world goes to hell.. which it will .. God can raise even the dead so.. no fear

People VOTING for self proclaimed communists who promise free things.

The president of the United States is trying to get all trans people declared terrorists. It won't be long before he comes after the rest of the rainbow. No one seems to care.

- AI
- the revival of fascism
- the persistent scourge of idiocracy in a world that can no longer afford idiocy
- exponentially increasing reality denial
- pronatalism nonsense vs actual unchecked overpopulation exacerbating climate change
- the incessant drive to make a buck no matter the cost, even if it dooms future generations (thanks, capitalism)

Ai!!!
