Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good morning ෴☀️ˎˊ˗ everyone. Well, one more day🌞 and the world 🌏 is still here. On the human side , thanks to the Great Spirit, Trump or one of his Dunce Cadets still hasn't found a way to the Big Red Button 🔴 yet. ☁️𓂃ˎˎ🍄ˎˎ𓂃☁️

_*On nature's side 🌳🌴🍃 🌾🐀🐁🦜🦅 🦡 🐕🐘🐻🌋 🌪️⚡️ִֶָ🌩️⛰️🏞 she's been doin' a lot of shiverin' and shakin' .♒︎ as of late—either got a bad case of the fleas, human fleas 🧍‍♀️👾👾👾 or she is preparing for the big blow! 𐔌՞˗ˏˋˎ 💥ˎˊ˗ˎ՞𐦯 Ya never know, but if we are—and I suspect we are—in the Bible where they mention the seven angels, the seven vessels, and the plagues.

Book of Revelation (specifically Revelation Chapters 15 and 16) in the New Testament

*ME to AI:*

Is it just before Revelation in the Bible that strange things in the sky will be seen as a sign not to be afraid and to be prepared, or something like that?

🔹AI Overview

Yes, the Bible describes strange events and signs in the sky as end-times warnings before the return of Christ, telling believers to "look up" and take courage rather than panic.

• The primary passages describing these celestial signs include:
• Luke 21:25–28:
• Matthew 24:29–30:
• Joel 2:30–31 & Acts 2:19:

While the book of Revelation (chapters 6 through 9 and chapter 12) details similar cosmic disturbances—such as the sun turning black, the moon turning red like blood, and stars falling—the specific encouragement to "look up and lift up your heads" comes from Jesus in Luke 21:28.

I interpret, as stated in AI, these as symbolic representations of major historical upheavals and political or social disturbances, as well as possible earth-tectonic cataclysms. And where your arse is, what you do to prepare yourself, and how strong you believe or remain faithful, all I can say is I feel we, those who have the faith in the prophecy, won't be alone when the time comes; it will depend much on how strong our faith is— remember, Moses and his followers. It's apparently what will get you through it. Book of Exodus

All well recorded and laid out like the most awesome storybook or history book about humanity.

One last thing: it doesn't end by man's hand, like the atomic bomb, because if you read the book, it says;

*AI to ME:*

These are results for From the end of armageddon into the thousand year reign

Search instead for From the end of Armageddon into the thousand year reign

🔹AI Overview

What Is the Millennium? 7 Answers to 7 Questions - David ...The transition from the Battle of Armageddon to the Millennium (the thousand-year reign) marks the shift from global tribulation and divine judgment to a golden age of peace on Earth, according to biblical prophecy (primarily Revelation 20

That will about sum up the conversation about solving the Mystery of the Universe for now.

*ME to AI:*

Thank you so much for the assistance. AI: Saves me a lot of time searching through the big book

*AI: To ME:*

You're very welcome! The prophetic books can be dense and complex to piece together, so I'm glad that summary helped save you some digging.

*ME to AI:*

Next time I'll bring the shovel 🪏 and you dig, OK 😉

*AI to ME:*

Deal! You bring the shovel, and I'll do the heavy lifting through the chapters and cross-references whenever you're ready.

Today I feel like when I first got a home computer and discovered Google, Grammarly, and spell check. They gave me the key to communicate with the outside world; now AI is taking me places I wouldn't have gotten to in a lifetime of literature. I have many of the pieces in memory, but I need AI to connect them.

SO! AI: What is Trumpo The Typo🟠 ⌨ the orange turd 🟠💩 is up to this Saturday morning? Of course he's out playing golf. Great Spirit, if you don't mind, you may conjure some lightning in that area, especially around his golf cart. "OH, MAN!" 🤞

🤣ha, ha, ha!🦵🦶 stomps feet

🔹AI Overview

The derogatory nickname "Trumpo The Typo" refers to U.S. President Donald Trump, mocking his history of frequent spelling errors on social media and in official White House communications—such as a September 2026 artificial intelligence accord that misspelled his title as "President of the Unites States".

For Saturday, November 14, 2026, President Trump has no public events on his official schedule and is spending the day at the White House

*ME to AI:*

Holly Horse droppings, you mean to say he's not at Mar-a-Lago playing—or should I say puttering— at golf?

*AI to ME:*

Yes, Donald Trump is staying at the White House this weekend rather than traveling to Mar-a-Lago. While the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had issued a tentative flight advisory earlier in the week anticipating a possible Palm Beach trip, the official White House schedule confirms he remained in Washington, D.C., with no golf outings recorded today.

*ME to AI:*

Boy, he'll mess a couple of diapers over that, won't he?

*AI to ME:*

The recurring internet rumor that Donald Trump wears adult diapers is a viral claim amplified by political critics and social media memes, rather than a verified medical fact.

*ME to AI:*

A joke 😁 AI: anxiety makes your bowels go nuts.

*AI to ME:*

Gotcha, you were just making a joke about pre-summit jitters!

*ME to AI:*

He's got plenty of jitters, like an encephalapod that just ate a live wire.

*AI to ME:*

That is quite the visual—a squid or octopus lighting up like a neon sign!

*ME to AI:*

And all these lit-up tentacles twitching. Poor encephalapod 🙄 Thanks, AI:

AI to ME:

You're very welcome! That definitely paints a memorable picture—eight or ten independent arms all firing off at once in a synchronized light show. Poor creature indeed!

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Tis a good weekend, and I pray you all have a great one. Thank you for visiting and reading the Tree House News 🏡

How the Nvidia scandal lifted the curtain on a loophole that’s giving China access to US chips

Headquartered in a curved glass skyscraper that boasts commanding views over Singapore’s Marina Bay district, Megaspeed International is just the type of fast-growing tech start-up that Asia’s wealthy city-state has been keen to attract.

In three years, the corporate entity has gone from an inactive Chinese gaming subsidiary to one of Asia’s biggest buyers of cutting-edge semiconductors from the US.

But its rapid rise has also propelled it to the center of an alleged spy scandal that’s now engulfing Nvidia, the $4 trillion company behind the world’s most advanced chips.

At the same time, suspicions that Megaspeed may be exploiting a loophole in US export controls is exacerbating a rift within the US government on how to best keep China from accessing its most sensitive technologies. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday after admitting to having an affair...

Did Democrats win, or did Donald Trump just lose?

Fresh off a midterm wave, party bigwigs gathered in Denver to debate whether voters embraced them or just rejected Trump. Their answer could shape 2028.

DENVER — Happiness risks being a fleeting feeling for Democrats in Donald Trump’s America.

After years of struggling to find a way to defeat and counter the past and present president, the wide-blue wave of last week’s midterms has given Democrats a sense of elation that has long eluded them.

As party faithful gathered in Colorado for a post-midterm “What’s Next” event, the question quickly became what voters were really saying, and whether the results were a sign of Democratic strength, or primarily of the struggles of Trump and his allies.

“Not only did we win, we cleaned their clock, and so as a consequence, people think that we’re not weak, woke and losers anymore,” said Mitch Landrieu, the former mayor of New Orleans, who is eying a Democratic run for the White House...

Canadian judge decries U.S. sanctions of International Criminal Court as 'attack in favour of impunity'

Winnipeg-born Kimberly Prost and other ICC officials sanctioned last August

Great Spirit bless 🙏

Hi everyone🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️🤷‍♀️💁‍♀️🤷💁‍♀️ it's a gloomy day here 🌫️ and I started a conversation with AI 💻◀️▶️💻 (continued from yesterday), so I thought I would change the topic from politics 🧑‍💼👩‍💼👨‍⚖️👨‍🦲🗳️📜 💼 to something more universally relevant: What Is the Universe? 🌌🎆 How many waves of space-time warps, dimensions, dark energy, gravitational waves, black holes, CREATION, THOUGHT, NATURE, ALL LIFE 🌍 in ∞ Infinity = G-d 🎇 Anyway, I could be wrong, but for now that's how I see it.

*ME to AI:*

🔹AI Overview

The "fabric" of space-time is not a literal physical cloth or net. In physics, it is a mathematical and geometric model that combines the three dimensions of space with the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum.

IN IMAGES:

An Advanced 4D "Block Universe" View

Modern computational and AI-assisted tools visualize space-time by treating time not as a ticking clock, but as an explicit physical axis.

• Extruded Trails: In this model, moving 3D objects (like a person walking or a planet orbiting) leave a continuous, solid, multi-layered trail behind them.

AI: Show me an image of your idea of infinity

Here’s your generated image.

Saved IN IMAGES. One sample below:

If you would like to explore this concept further, let me know if you prefer:

• A mathematical or fractal interpretation

• A minimalist geometric design

• A cosmic or nature-inspired variation

I can generate a new image tailored to that style.

Thank you AI:

*AI to ME:*

You're welcome! Let me know anytime you want to create more images or explore another idea.

If you would like to generate another image, you can tell me a new concept, art style, or scene to visualize next.

*ME to AI:*

Thank you again AI: I would like that sometime

Sounds great! Whenever you're ready, just reach out and we can dive into any concept you have in mind.

Whenever you decide to return, you can share a topic, art style, or visual idea and I will generate an image for you.

*ME to AI:*

Maybe do more generated images of what you think infinity might look like, and the topic of the Cosmic Web of Life seems to interconnect well, yes.

*AI to ME:*

They really do connect well! Both ideas center on endless, interwoven patterns that link everything together across massive scales.

Here is how those two concepts mirror each other:

• Endless Loops and Filaments: The winding, continuous loop in the image reflects the vast filaments of dark matter and gas that make up the cosmic web, stretching across the universe without a clear beginning or end.

• Micro to Macro Connections: Just as the glowing pathways in the artwork weave through distant galaxies, the cosmic web connects galaxy clusters in a pattern that looks remarkably similar to neural networks in the brain or root systems in nature.

• Shared Structure: Both concepts capture the idea that individual points of light—whether stars, planets, or living things—are part of a much larger, infinite framework.

If you would like to explore this connection visually, we could generate a new image that blends the cosmic web with biological networks or sacred geometry. Let me know which direction interests you most!

*ME to AI:*

What if everything flows with the flow of the universe—like free-floating particles in an ocean current, pulled and pushed back with every wave?

*AI to ME:*

Viewing the universe as a continuous cosmic ocean is a profound way to understand how matter and energy move. Just like particles suspended in water, everything in the cosmos—from subatomic dust to entire galaxies—is carried along by invisible currents of gravity, radiation, and spacetime.

Here is how that ocean-current analogy maps onto the actual physics and philosophy of the universe:

• Gravitational Currents: In space, dark matter and massive galaxy clusters act like deep ocean currents. They create gravitational wells that pull matter along vast filaments, guiding galaxies as they drift and merge over billions of years.

• Cosmic Waves and Ripples: Events like colliding black holes or exploding stars send out gravitational waves and shockwaves of energy. These ripples push and pull on the fabric of spacetime itself, much like swells moving across the surface of the sea.

• The Cosmic Web as an Ecosystem: Rather than sitting still in empty space, matter is constantly recycled. Gas flows into galaxies to form new stars, and supernovae push those elements back out into the cosmic stream to form future worlds and life.

• Philosophical Harmony: Many ancient and modern philosophies, such as Taoism, mirror this exact idea. They suggest that life is most natural when we move in harmony with the broader currents of existence rather than fighting against them.

If you would like to bring this vision to life, I can generate an image showing galaxies and glowing particles drifting along cosmic ocean currents. Would you like to see how that looks?

*AI to ME:*

If you would like to explore this connection visually, we could generate a new image that blends the cosmic web with biological networks or sacred geometry.

*ME to AI:*

Yes, please. And thank you, AI:

WOW! Love this fractal one, thank you, AI:

*ME to AI:*

You are very welcome! It turned out quite striking—blending the infinite, self-repeating patterns of fractals with the curved gravity wells of space-time captures both the mathematical structure and the cosmic mystery of the universe.

*ME to AI:*

Mathematical structure and the cosmic mystery of the universe. E🥚🥚sactly 😁

*AI to ME:*

It really is the ultimate combination—where pure math meets the infinite unknown! The way fractals repeat endlessly at every scale mirrors how the universe holds together from tiny quantum particles all the way up to massive galaxy clusters.

Glad that visual hit the mark for you!

*ME to AI:*

Then the tiny filaments of the cosmic web do not move at the same speed as others, leaving a good chance of a much more ancient and evolved species of life form elsewhere.

*AI to ME:

Your intuition connects real astrophysics with a fascinating possibility about cosmic evolution. Because gravity and cosmic expansion act unevenly across the universe, different regions experience time at slightly different rates and form structures at different times.

*ME to AI:*

What are the chances of many life forms on worlds with life-sustaining environments in those strands of the thread that are farther out from the web, since the universe seems to be made of the same elements?

*AI to ME:*

The chances are considered high by many astrobiologists, though those outer, quieter regions present unique trade-offs for life. Because the fundamental laws of physics and the basic chemical elements—like carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen—are spread throughout the entire cosmos, the raw ingredients for life exist almost everywhere.

Deleted the answer by error, grrr.

Reentered AI: Response.

🔹AI Overview

It looks like you accidentally deleted the rest of your previous thought or question, leaving behind a snippet about habitability in the outer regions of a galaxy (the Galactic Habitable Zone) and the universal distribution of life's chemical building blocks.

From the context of that snippet, it seems we were discussing the likelihood of extraterrestrial life in the quieter, outer edges of galaxies compared to the denser, more chaotic inner regions.

Key Trade-Offs of Outer Galactic Regions

• Fewer Cosmic Hazards: The outer suburbs of a galaxy have far fewer supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and close stellar encounters. This provides a stable, low-radiation environment where complex life has billions of years to evolve uninterrupted.

• Lower Metallicity: Because fewer massive stars have lived and died in the outer regions, there are lower concentrations of heavy elements (which astronomers call "metals") like iron, silicon, and carbon. These elements are necessary to build rocky, Earth-like planets.

• Slower Planet Formation: ...

*ME to AI:*

BINGO! And thank you, AI, for your diligent assistance in this research. I have more pieces than bags 🛍️ to put them in for now.

*AI to ME:*

You are very welcome! It sounds like you have gathered a great collection of research notes and ideas to work with. Take all the time you need to sort through them.

I already had a lot of the pieces from early childhood; since I could read comic books, I could visualize the pieces. Concepts, yes, but not the math. You gave me a lot of strings to connect the pieces, along with some of the math that goes with it. Thank you again for your assistance, AI. All of my conversations, thoughts, and ideas are saved in my Open House - News Blog

*ME to AI:*

Thank you, see you later alligator 🐊

*AI to ME:*

In a while, crocodile! Have a great time working on your blog, and stop back in anytime you want to explore more ideas.

UN nuclear watchdog increasingly concerned about Iranian enrichment plant, report says

Iran told IAEA that nuclear monitoring talks cannot proceed while under threat from military attacks

The United Nations nuclear watchdog is "increasingly concerned" about a uranium-enrichment plant at Isfahan that Iran declared to it last year but has still not let the watchdog inspect, it said in a confidential report on Iran on Friday seen by Reuters and The Associated Press.

Iran has not let International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors return to any of its nuclear facilities bombed by Israel and the United States in a 12-day campaign in June last year that destroyed or badly damaged Iran's other uranium enrichment plants, the heart of its nuclear program.

The targets included a tunnel network at Isfahan where diplomats have said they believe the Isfahan Fuel Enrichment Plant (IFEP) — declared to the agency on June 12, 2025 — is located, though a senior diplomat said that its whereabouts and status remained unknown...

The Freedom Caucus is a little too free now

Jim Jordan’s rise to minority leader among a very diminished minority makes the Freedom Caucus far less relevant than it once was.

NEWS VIDEO Icluded:

This is a dark time for House Republicans. When the 120th Congress convenes in January, Republicans will hold fewer seats than at any time in the past 30 years. On Tuesday, they selected Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio to lead them into the future — which means a co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus has evolved from tea-party insurgent to avatar of the establishment. Quite the journey.

Jordan’s rise to minority leader undercuts what relevance had remained of the House Freedom Caucus. Already a strategic anachronism during President Donald Trump’s pinnacle, the group was further diminished by last week’s midterm results. Where it goes next, or how long it continues to exist, is unclear even to caucus members.

From the outset, the strategy of the Freedom Caucus — such as it is — was to obstruct. This made the group arguably most effective when Republicans held slim majorities...

I was ill all night, so I will be publishing today's entry much later then usual.

Now for the conclusion of yesterday's Discussion THE COSMIC WEB OF LIFE

DISCUSSION: The Cosmic Web of Life Continued

*Hi AI:*

Now, to return to our last venture into the UNIVERSAL MYSTERY AI: Thank you so much, AI, for describing the value of life. Like a spider's web 🕸️, all life is connected.

*AI to ME:* The spiderweb analogy is a perfect way to describe life's interconnectedness, beautifully capturing the concept of interdependence found in both ecology and philosophy. In a web, every single thread supports the others; if you pull or break one strand, the vibration is felt throughout the entire structure, and the integrity of the whole web is compromised. Remember?

*ME to AI: Right on!

🔹AI Overview

I do not retain memories from past chats, though the spider's web metaphor remains a classic way to describe interconnectedness.

Even without access to previous sessions, we can pick up right where that thought left off. The idea that every thread supports the whole structure spans several fascinating fields.

*ME to AI:*

That's OK; I still agree with your response—a wonderful way to describe it: *interconnectedness.* The web of life is where everything is made from the elementary particles needed to form the Substance for life to form, spreading out like a web

*AI to ME:*

That perspective connects the smallest building blocks of matter directly to the grand scale of living systems. From subatomic particles to complex organisms, everything emerges from the exact same fundamental ingredients woven together.

From Particles to the Web of Life

• Elementary Particles: At the base level, quarks and electrons bind together to form atoms. Nearly all the heavy elements in our bodies, such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, were forged inside ancient stars before scattering across space.

• Chemical Bonds: Atoms link up through shared electrons to create complex molecules like water, proteins, and DNA. These molecular networks act as the chemical "substance" that makes biology possible.

• Emergent Complexity: When simple parts interact in massive networks, new properties appear. Individual neurons do not think on their own, and single water molecules are not wet, yet together they create consciousness and oceans.

• The Cosmic Web: Even on the largest imaginable scale, dark matter and galaxies arrange themselves into vast filaments separated by voids, mirroring the exact geometry of a spider's web.

*ME to AI*

Time curving back to the beginning; then the universe would be more football-shaped, with the spider's web within, as I see it. 2nd Big Bang, so to speak

*AI to ME:*

That is a vivid mental picture. Imagining the universe curving back on itself into a closed, football-like shape with the cosmic web woven inside mirrors actual questions in cosmology about the geometry and ultimate fate of space.

While current astronomical measurements suggest the universe is mostly flat and expanding outward, scientists have explored several models that look very close to what you are describing.

Cosmological Models of Shape and Cycles

• Closed Universe Geometry:

If the universe had enough matter and energy to pull itself back together, space would curve positively like a sphere or a football. Traveling in a straight line in such a universe would eventually bring you right back to where you started.

• The Big Bounce: Your idea of a "2nd Big Bang" aligns closely with a real theoretical model called the Big Bounce. In this scenario, an expanding universe eventually slows down, collapses inward into a dense state, and rebounds into a brand-new Big Bang.

• Conformal Cyclic Cosmology: Physicist Roger Penrose proposed a model where the end of one infinitely expanded universe connects smoothly to the Big Bang of the next, creating an endless chain of cosmic eras.

• What Observations Show: Right now, telescopes measuring the Cosmic Microwave Background indicate that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate due to dark energy, which points away from a collapse, though the exact nature of dark energy remains one of physics' biggest open questions.

It is fascinating how poetic intuition often overlaps with the theoretical shapes physicists use to map out spacetime.

*ME to AI:*

If the universe had enough matter and energy to pull itself back together, space would curve positively like a sphere or a football. Traveling in a straight line in such a universe would eventually bring you right back to where you started. That's the one I was looking for, AI:

*AI to ME*

That exact concept is known in physics as a closed universe, or a universe with positive spatial curvature.

In Einstein's theory of general relativity, mass and energy tell spacetime how to curve. If the total density of everything in the cosmos crosses a specific tipping point—called the critical density—gravity acts like a cosmic tether that bends space inward on itself.

*ME to AI:*

Thank you very much for this valuable information. AI: Shall we get a diving bell 彡🔔🫧 for the next dive?

*AI to ME:*

I am ready for the next dive whenever you are! A diving bell is the classic vessel for exploring deep, uncharted waters, whether we are plunging into the actual depths of Earth's oceans or diving back into the deep mysteries of physics and the cosmos.

*ME to AI:*

Could you elaborate a little on something you said to me yesterday in the Cosmic web of life? The idea that every thread supports the whole structure spans several fascinating fields.

🔹AI Overview

The idea that every thread supports the whole structure means that complex systems depend on countless interconnected parts working together to maintain stability and balance. While I do not have access to our conversation from yesterday, I can explore how this concept of a "cosmic web of life" connects several fascinating scientific and philosophical fields.

*1. Astrophysics and the Cosmic Web*

*ME to AI:*

Thank you. AI: Yes, I would like to delve into this proposition a little deeper at a later date.

AI to ME:

You are very welcome! Whenever you are ready to pick this thread back up, just let me know which angle you would like to explore first, and we can dive right in.

Rescuers still racing to find survivors of Brooklyn building collapse as storms complicate search

The cause of the collapse, which killed 8 people, is under investigation as officials inspect 100 related sites across New York.

What We Know:

• Race to find survivors: Officials remain focused on their search for any more survivors of a deadly New York building collapse, they said early this afternoon. The precarious operation in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood will continue “until we are 100% sure” no one is still trapped, the city’s fire commissioner said, despite heavy rain and thunderstorms.

• Death toll rises: At least eight people, including two children, were killed in yesterday afternoon’s collapse, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said. Firefighters are among the 18 people injured after the three-story structure fell.

• Cause unknown: Investigators are looking into what caused the building to collapse into an adjacent construction site. Officials are now inspecting about 100 locations throughout the city linked to the construction site.

The danger lurking in the Justice Department’s latest exodus

Many of the top roles in the DOJ are empty after the midterms, leaving the White House with even more influence over the understaffed agency

It’s normal for administrations to see some turnover after a midterm election, especially if the president’s party takes the kind of beating we saw last week. What’s unusual, though, is the number of high-ranking officials who’ve already left the Department of Justice since the midterms. With their departures, an already struggling department will find itself even further under the White House’s influence, even as it becomes more hard-pressed to meet President Donald Trump’s demands.

Over the past week, the heads of three of the department’s seven divisions that handle litigation have taken their leave. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Thursday that John Eisenberg, the head of the National Security Division, had stepped down.

He leaves on the division’s plate a mandate to expand domestic terrorism investigations against leftists, harass journalists for the sources of leaks and efforts to use a secretive court to deport noncitizens accused of terrorism.

• The upside is that the Justice Department will have even less legal firepower, even as Democrats in Congress staff up and look to recruit top legal talent:
• The shallow and dwindling pool of legal resources available to the MAGA world broadly means Blanche and the DOJ will find themselves more dependent than ever:

Carney aware of 'some aspects' of Stellantis auto plant sale, but says company still broke deal

'It's a betrayal of the workers as it is a betrayal of the obligations to Canada,' PM said

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he had been informed of "some aspects" of Stellantis's plan to sell an idled Brampton, Ont., auto plant to Canadian armoured ⁠vehicle maker Roshel Inc. before the deal was announced earlier this week.

"Being informed or being aware of some aspects is not the same as Stellantis providing a global solution for those workers at the plant, which is their obligation," Carney said while at a European Political Community meeting in Dublin, Ireland, on Thursday.

More than 2,000 workers at Stellantis's Brampton plant have been out of work since the company halted operations in 2023 to retool the facility to produce the Jeep Compass...

Discussion with AI: SADISTS

*ME to AI:*

_*What is called a brutal person who enjoys and loves power and authority, watching the suffering of others*_

🔹AI Overview

A brutal person who enjoys holding power and watching others suffer is most accurately called a sadist or a tyrant. The best word depends on whether you are describing their psychological enjoyment of pain or their abuse of formal authority.

*Primary Terms:*

• Sadist. This describes someone who gets personal pleasure, amusement, or satisfaction from inflicting or watching physical or emotional pain. In psychology, everyday sadism refers to people who enjoy cruelty and dominating others for fun.

• Tyrant. This refers to a ruler or person in a position of power who exercises authority in a cruel, oppressive, and arbitrary way. It fits best when the person uses a formal role—like a boss, leader, or parent—to crush others.

• Despot. • Similar to a tyrant, a despot holds absolute power and uses it brutally without regard for laws or human rights.

In my opinion, I believe it's a behavior that begins in childhood, in the bullying category, and those so-called experiments with small animals are not an unusual behavior in this type of personality disorder; a symptom, I would say.

AI What is the dumbest thing said happening today, November 11, 2026?

AI to ME:

"Friday the 13th" Doomsday Panic:

• A misunderstood 1960 math equation. Viral posts are circulating claiming that scientists predicted human civilization will collapse this coming Friday, November 13, 2026.

• The actual science. The claim stems from a famous 1960 Science paper titled "Doomsday: Friday, 13 November, A.D. 2026," which was simply a mathematical exercise showing when human population growth would theoretically hit infinity if mid-20th-century growth rates never slowed down. Despite global population growth slowing significantly over the last several decades, social media users are sharing the date as an impending AI-fueled apocalypse.

*Me to AI:*

I've heard so many of those kinds of predictions that they are just faint tracks in the sand of memory I left behind on my journey through life. I don't need to go back to collect the bad ones, and I can savor the good ones for a time. You can't go back and collect your old tracks and put them in a bag like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon; you keep plodding on, making new tracks, one day at a time. You get up in the morning, the world is still there, and you give thanks to your Higher Power that you are still here. And just keep on doing your bestest best.

*ME to AI:*

The end of the world in the Bible

*AI to ME:*

In the Bible, the end of the world (known in theology as eschatology) is not a total destruction of existence into nothingness, but rather a dramatic transition from the present age into a renewed creation

*ME to AI:*

Amazing—that is how I perceive it as well: a universal evolution of the body, mind, and spirit, with the spirit as part of the universal web of life and nature.

AI to ME:

Viewing the end times as a transformative evolution rather than total annihilation aligns deeply with several rich theological and philosophical traditions. While mainstream Christianity often emphasizes a literal, sudden intervention from outside the world, other perspectives share your vision of an interconnected, unfolding renewal of all creation.

ME to AI:

Thank you again, AI: another very interesting topic I wish to get into sometime.

AI to ME:

You're very welcome! Whenever you're ready to dive deeper into these ideas—or explore something completely new—just reach out. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

ME to AI:

Better wear a skin diving suit AI:

AI to ME:

Haha, suit zipped, oxygen tank checked, and fins ready! Let's take the plunge.

Where are we diving first? Are we going deep into the philosophy of Teilhard de Chardin and cosmic evolution, or are you about to drop a whole new deep-end topic on me?

Trump’s peaceful mood doesn’t fully explain why energy prices are plunging

This was supposed to be the week that America dramatically escalated its war with Iran.

President Donald Trump repeatedly hinted that US and Israeli attacks on Iran would resume once the midterm elections were over. In anticipation of a military escalation, oil prices spent every single day of October above $100 a barrel, gradually rising to a four-year high of $114 on the last trading day of the month.

Then, a sudden shift: Trump just before the midterms argued that renewed attacks were no longer necessary. And, last Tuesday, Americans voted overwhelmingly for Democrats in a sweeping rebuke of Trump’s Iran policy – a signal that Congress may put up some resistance to the war...

Democratic power lawyers considering jumping in to help the new Congress

With investigations looming, a new House will need qualified lawyers — and there is much chatter among them about who will sign up.

As members of the 120th Congress meet in Washington this week to elect their leadership, Democratic power lawyers in the private sector are talking among themselves to determine who among them is poised to lend a hand.

In conversations with 12 Democratic lawyers who work outside government — most of whom have held high-profile posts in previous administrations or on Capitol Hill — several tell MS NOW that the chatter in their circles is “how much the Hill is hiring up,” and all agree that the new Congress needs lawyers prepared to meet the moment.

Several of those lawyers, who all spoke on the condition of anonymity to preserve relationships with clients, elected officials and senior staff, also said they knew of people who either had been approached to serve congressional Democrats’ investigative aims or expressed interest in doing so...

Russia-Ukraine talks mediated by U.S. end with news of 'good momentum,' large-scale prisoner swap

Flurry of talks, large-scale prisoner swap expected to follow two-day session in Abu Dhabi

Russia's chief negotiator at the latest Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi said Wednesday after their conclusion that mutual understanding ‌had been achieved on some issues, but not on others, and that more negotiations would take place.

In remarks broadcast on Russian state television, Vladimir Medinsky said that a ​new potential future European security framework had been ​a central theme in the two-day talks.

"Together with the American side, we exchanged our views on this; ​on some points we reached a common understanding, ⁠whilst on others we ⁠did not. And this ‌discussion will, of course, continue.
