Had an uncle (my moms brother) die unexpectedly overnight.
He was a wild man through life, never really "took off" in life / failure to launch.
Drugs, booze, etc. etc. etc.
Heart attack.
NOT unexpected, BUT start to think about NOT making an effort to see him more, have him over for family meals these last few years, etc. etc. etc.
Just another perspective on time, family, life, etc. etc. etc. on a cool Canadian Monday morning.
I'm trying to practise awareness more these days and perhaps this is a note for you to do the same as time passes.
XO to you and yours.
- 66 years old SOOO again, NOT unexpected AND (generally) an age where this type of lifestyle catches up with you...ideaist
- yeah that always sucks. and we inevitably regret not reaching out/spending time more. It's tough. when you have kids, family, work etc etc._niko
- but even though he didn't take off, it sounds like he enjoyed the ride while he was here :) and hopefully brought some joy and good memories to loved ones_niko
- @_niko I agree; he certainly did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, which is great for him!
Death (& taxes) just suck, I guess.ideaist

Re: Everything is so fucking tiring.
After Thanksgiving I stopped checking in with the news.
There's been a considerable amount of more time available to think about what I want to think about. Unless you're required to watch the spectacle, turn away. Thank yourself for it later.
- Turn on, tune in, drop out_niko
- we can all do with some unplugging and enjoying life._niko
- Yep it is a good way to be. just remember that when they come for you or it comes for you, don’t expect anyone to care about your plightnb
- They won’t anyway, so you’re good. I mean, most of us “care” to the extent of getting outraged on our screens... no action.nb
- But when your house burns down or your government comes to take away your rights...thoughts and prayers have no value, anyway.nb

Elon Musk
Dani Dayan, chair of Israel’s Holocaust memorial centre Yad Vashem, has warned that Elon Musk’s call for Germans to “move on” from guilt about the Holocaust and other Nazi-era crimes was “an insult to the victims of nazism”.
“Contrary to Elon Musk’s advice, the remembrance and acknowledgment of the dark past of the country and its people should be central in shaping German society,” Dayan said in a post on X yesterday, referencing Musk’s remarks at a far right rally in Germany on Saturday.
“Failing to do so is an insult to the victims of nazism and a clear danger to the democratic future of Germany,” Dayan added.

Everything is so fucking tiring.
Our political and business "leaders" have just turned into internet trolls...just a giant pissing contest to see who has the bigger ego.
