For comparison (I was curious)

Hey man, I do tarot, read it, then ask my AI what it thinks. It feels real.

/s

…no but for real, I like do draw tarot, and the AI has helped me get better at reading. It’s for funsies; I don’t take it seriously.

Sorry, you want the Tower here.

It’s one of my favorite cards for symbolism, because the story is so apparent on the card. People jumping out of a burning building to their peril.

Probably a range of things. Like the fediverse is growing, but look at bluesky’s success. They forgo the real benefit of the structure, but people get a “just make a login” experience.

The kids are probably on something I don’t even know.

I feel like many Christians in America are completely disconnected from actual values espoused by Jesus in the Bible. Republican (many of the Christians) policy is diametrically opposed to Matthew 25:31. No one quotes John 13:34 because they rather quote Old Testament BS about what’s an abomination. Why not focus on the love for others, including enemies? Why not focus on helping the poor, the sick, the homeless? Why not help the immigrant? The Bible specifically calls this out as a marker of getting into heaven.

Most of these people don’t even read the book. They like the sense of community at a church, but it feels like it’s formed into a total in:out group mentality. We can’t be a Christian nation as long as there are poor & people struggling.

Then the Utah governor says something like, “We can’t have people camping wherever they want.” my emphasis. Bud, they don’t WANT to be homeless. The lack of empathy is so apparent.

I wish more people converted over, but the user experience for the fediverse is very strange for many people, tech inclined folks I know included.

I followed the chain down here.

Not if it’s swallowed.

 

This is a strange post, but I’ve noticed a strange shift in the last week or two. It felt like people are more tense, things are ratcheting up in different ways, and it’s hard to describe besides “the vibe is off.”

I asked some other friends who I consider reasonably good empaths. They told me they felt a similar shift that’s been hard to explain, but a feeling that something is out of place or shifted a few degrees the wrong way, more than usual. Maybe it’s collective paranoia with my friends & echo chamber.

Has anyone had similar feelings? Do things feel off axis? Do people seem more irritable or less collaborative than “normal”?
