Casually Posting About An Actual War

Entry created on 2022-05-18 author:steeph (374) cat:Blog Article (1) cat:Films (22) cat:War (1) lang:en (253)

This entry is not a statement about either topic.

I'm not going to write about any aspect of blog and social media posts by people who're safe from war for now and the forseeable future talking casually about war, a war, the war or related happenings, nor address any specific of such posts. I just felt like making one myself.

This article:

Schreenshot of the beginning of an article on bbc.com.

Headline: Marianna Vyshemirsky: 'My picture was used to spread lies about the war'

Author: Marianna Spring

Photo: A young blond woman in front of a damages building is looking into the camera.

Text: "The beauty influencer was accused of being an actor after this photo was published"

URL: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-61412773

reminded me of this scene:

Screencap from a scene from the movie Wag The Dog: At a film stage a fake movie clip from a supposed war is being produced.

Another screencap from the movie Wag The Dog: The resulting news footage of a young blond woman in front of a damages building.

from this movie: Wag The Dog (1997).

I overestimate that by 2025 there will be more distinct keyboard layouts than humans.

Working through open tabs of stuff that sounds interesting, I came across a bunch of videos of talks from LibrePlanet 2022 recently. Never heard of it before. But the videos are as interesting as their titles make them sound.

On close inspection, really everyone is the same: different. For that reason I don't understand how there can be a viable concept of neurodiversity in contrast to a neurotypical majority. But I do understand the concept. Weird.

The frontmost part of my tongue it littered with forgotten thoughts and blog entry ideas.

I wanted to post about three things today after work, when I'm back with my computer. I will likely remember one or two of those things when I'm back at work and can't take a break to write a blog entry.
