A quotation from John Adams [wist.info]
Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.
John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Speech (1770-12-04), “Argument in Defence of the Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials”

An hour of talking to myself resulted in a big pile of leaves for the garden. 22 tubtrugs packed and heaping.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt [wist.info]
If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie — a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days — but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)

"Every one of us has tens of trillions of neutrinos passing through us every second, but fewer than five of them actually interact with the matter in our bodies in our entire lifetimes."

Exactly!
A few years ago @cstross had to put the third novel of a near-future Scottish police procedural trilogy on the back-burner because reality was outrunning fiction in the stupid/insane race (what with Brexit and other shenanigans going on at the time).
I can't even imagine what an author trying to write something set in near-future USA - or even anywhere in NATO or the EU, really - is going through right now. "Burn your quill and take up day-drinking" starts looking like a *moderate* reaction.
Hello everyone! 
I've just joined the Fediverse, and I chose @zirk.us bc I'm most interested in #literature and the arts more broadly. I also created a #reading account via #Bookwyrm @d-integration, and a Fediverse-supported #blog (launching today) for my writings at @weaver@d-integration.org [d-integration.org].
I'm most interested in #SpeculativeFiction, especially #SciFi and the #Weird, #ArabLit, #SocialCritique, #CriticalTheory, #Philosophy, and all things #Surreal and/or #reality breaking.
In my school days, I wrote a letter to the science fiction future of the year 2000, to the ‘old woman’ I would then be. I asked her never to forget my curiosity and imagination.
In 2025, the even older woman must write to the girl: All my imagination is not enough to come up with similarly abstruse and absurd plots called 'reality' as those that appear in the newspaper every morning.
Maybe I should have become a gardener after all?

We're the frogs for years, taking a nice warm bath to unsee #RootCause of #ClimateChange temperature rise:

We MUST be #Plainspeaking
We MUST use #CommonSense
We MUST restore #Reality
@Susan_Larson_TN@mastodon.online#Socialmedia reacts to #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump declaring that #America will only recognise two #sexes: “all those years of #progress gone in an instant”
"The #president can't, with a wave of a pen, change the #reality of who people are and the fact that we as a #community of #people #exist"
@Black_Flag@syzito.xyzReality is not a machine to be taken apart, examined, and put to work on our behalf. In truth, such a view is so arrogant it could only be born of utter stupidity.
Rather, it is a story in which one plays a part, not least by telling your own version of it.

Me: I'm not boring. I prefer spending Christmas alone, away from the hype, and how the media would have us believe we should spend the day. I follow the same pattern as any other day.
