I popped over to LinkedIn, so you don't have to.
Yes, it's still like a scientology convention.

Them: "Hi, how are you today?"
Me: "Fine."*
*Easier to say 'fine' than 'I feel like I'm living in a time in which mass psychosis is ravaging at least half the population; like I'm a passenger in a car being driven at 120mph toward a cliff edge by an unhinged driver who has never driven before but, in his derangement, a) believes he's Cowboy Jesus riding a tamed dinosaur, and b) has convinced other demented passengers of this, and they are now willing to shred and eat anyone who opposes him.'

#LinkedIn
"Learn how you can use #AI to give your projects that personal, human touch"
"My new AI meditation app does all my meditating for me, freeing me up to work as many hours as I can"
"I used AI to write my CV/resume and got the first job I applied for. And although I don't possess any of the skills/qualifications on my CV, AI has give me the confidence to believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it."

I've never been interested in stamps... but then I saw this new Swiss CHF 1.10 stamp.
It's not just a photographic reproduction: "To give the concrete wall depicted in the design a tactile dimension, cement pigments were added to the ultra-matt finish."
I think I'll pop out later and buy a few.
Switzerland continues to have a history of great #graphicdesign!

Funny how historical #UFOs always look exactly like human design objects from the period in which they were photographed...
Early-mid- 20th century UFOs all look like Art Deco Bakelite.
Oh, and they have aerials on top because that was the human technology of the day.

@npub1ex3…c58j Yes, that's very true. I saw a documentary and in it many US professing evangelicals didn't know much about the bible's contents or the faith when interviewed. Political/cultural/class Christians perhaps, rather than genuinely religious.

When you read #Trump-related news threads and see #MAGA responses, many respondents' bios claim to be religious (typically hardline US evangelical) patriots. *Of course* they also support Trump; they're pre-conditioned to believe things for which there is insufficient evidence. Religion for obvious reasons, but patriotism is also an ideology often built on national myths.
The too-widespread culture of rejecting reason and critical thinking is one of the greatest threats facing us as a species.
