Trump's SOTU speech is said to be at least two hours long, possibly three. Don't watch. He won't say anything you can't read about in five minutes tomorrow, and you know he cares A LOT about ratings.
Do yourself a favor and watch something else. TCM is running the 1944 movie "Gaslight" tonight—it's where the term "gaslighting" comes from. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

@augieray Oh my goodness. I just posted about this! https://mas.to/@brainwise/116128275898250090

@brainwise Great minds think alike! (And so, apparently, do ours.) 😂

@augieray Top choice. Love that film.

@jwi You say that as if Trump has the capacity to learn and change.

@augieray Damn, when Verizon upgraded our FIOS speed, they took away TCM. "No changes" they promised. The dirty liars.

@augieray Anyone who watches that insult to a human being is an insult to self and deserves the result ... wise and smart will wait for the residuals next day and not suffered loss of brain cells ... 😉

@augieray yes! This is what I gave on too.
I also thought apropos. -

I can't even imagine subjecting myself to that.

@augieray that's assuming there will be anything worth reading tomorrow. I don't care for any more bullshit about Tylenol or sports arenas or his current pet peeves.

@augieray have never watched and never will

@augieray I fear at the end he will announce a full strike on Iran this night...

If you *do* decide to subject yourself to watching the state of the union address, please have appropiate response material. -

@augieray I’ll catch the highlights on Kimmel. They are going to have a special episode

@augieray I am going to skip the SOTU but will watch Stephen Colbert after. It helps to have this disaster of an administration sprinkled with snarky comments and a lot of humor. There isn’t a whole lot to laugh about anymore which makes Colbert’s ability to find the funny very much appreciated.

I'm watching Blue Skies, then Hudson and Rex.

Remember that cult leaders often use meandering, nonsensical speech as a tactic.
The listener's brain stops trying to make it make sense, gets bored, & goes into passive absorption "waiting for it to be over" mode. Dangerous.

Cults have leaders who talk like Trump does.

@augieray I've watched some on the gym tv. About 50% of it is , like "CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP-CLAP🤡"

Social Debug: il Crystal Ball e la generazione che sapeva soffiare
Crystal Ball, Slime, Exogini, Palla Pazza, Clic-Clac. Noi soffiavamo in una cannuccia e imparavamo la fisica. La GenAlpha scrolla. Chi è cresciuto davvero?

Mantenere mobile, duttile, l'opinione pubblica permette di attizzarla facilmente, non farla consolidare, batterla col martello della propria violenza, sfruttare tutti i mezzi di controllo e di manipolazione che hanno bisogno di un prodotto malleabile
Se si mantiene caldo un campo, si può mantenerne un altro freddo: invisibile, lontano dall'attenzione, stabile. Il campo del controllo, dei rapporti nascosti
La legittimazione è importante solo nella misura in cui permette di mantenere la posizione

@adrianomorselli sono sempre i migliori, quelli che sé ne vanno 😂

Legittimità è una costruzione di regole, accettate o subite, ma riconosciute come reali
La distruzione di tutto ciò può frammentare ulteriormente i legami sociali in essere, magari per essere ristrutturati a piacimento di altri
Ma chi continua a distruggere può imporsi solo con la forza e la sua esibizione, quindi anche minacce, atti di violenza, guerre
La guerra diventa forza primaria di legittimazione, tenuta sempre attiva per continuare a distruggere e mantenere mobile l'opinione pubblica
-
La legittimità non è un ordine superiore che scende dal cielo sugli uomini, checché ne dicano alcuni
La legittimità è un riconoscimento dato da un insieme di persone, che sia comunità, massa di persone, o massa di individui nella loro bolla collegati da un tessuto artificialmente sociale
La legittimità è costruita, più raramente spontanea, si esprime e regola con atti comunicativi e assunzione di valori
La legittimità è una cessione di forza per sostenere un progetto

Conway’s Game of Life With Physical Buttons
Conway’s Game of Life excels in its simplicity, creating a cellular automaton on a 2D grid where each cell obeys a set of very simple rules that determine whether a cell is ‘alive’ or ‘dead’. After setting an initial condition the ‘game’ then evolves naturally from there, creating an endless series of patterns as a simplified form of bacterial evolution. Of course, setting an initial state and then watching cells light up or fade away seems like a natural fit for light-up buttons. After struggling with intrusive thoughts related to such a project for a while, [Michal Zalewski] finally gave in, creating a pretty amazing looking result.
Although there is no set size for the game board, [Michal] was constrained by his budget for the selected NKK JB15LPF-JF tactile buttons, resulting in a 17×17 matrix. That’s 289 buttons, for those keeping score, which comes down to over $1,000 over at e.g. Digikey even with quantity-based pricing. Add to this the custom PCB and a Microchip AVR128DA64 squeezed in a corner of said PCB to run the whole show and it’s quite the investment.
Finishing up the PCB, driving the lights is done with a duty cycle as the matrix is scanned along with detecting inputs in a similar manner. This required the addition of MOSFETs and transistors, the details of which can be found in the downloadable project files, along with the firmware source code. In the article a video of the board in action can be watched, allowing one to admire the very pretty wooden enclosure as well.
