Around the World on a Bicycle by Fred A. Birchmore, 2020

This classic, once hard-to-find travelogue recalls one of the very first around-the-world bicycle treks. Filled with rarely matched feats of endurance and determination, Around the World on a Bicycle tells of a young cyclist's ever-changing and maturing worldview as he ventures through forty countries on the eve of World War II.




It is an exuberant, youthful account, harking back to a time when the exploits of Richard Byrd, Amelia Earhart, and other adventurers stirred the popular imagination. In 1935 Fred A. Birchmore left the small American town of Athens, Georgia, to continue his college studies in Europe. In his spare time, Birchmore toured the continent on a one-speed bike he called Bucephalus (after the name of Alexander the Great's horse). A born wanderer, Birchmore broadened his travels to include the British Isles and even the Mediterranean.

PSA: you can ignore the entirety of the LLM-industrial-complex without falling for the “see they are useful for something after all” narrative:

- these systems are based on theft (some of that still makes its way through the courts)

- they are designed to centralise power in the hands of very few people who are also objectively the worst people

- the businesses are not sustainable, nobody disagrees the bubble will pop before long, so making your craft depend on a subscription seems silly

@janlJan Lehnardt :couchdb: 👍 "Built on theft, with the stated end goal of enslavement", is my mental shorthand.

OpenAI boldly says: "Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence—AI systems that are generally smarter than humans—benefits all of humanity."

We're not at AGI yet, but if we ever get there, they want to ensure that _thinking entities_ will not be free. (Like Star Wars droids that are bought and sold.)

오늘의 보이스트레이닝 오늘은 조용한 곳에서 계속 얘기하는 식이었다. 꾸준히 말할수록 더 안정이 되는 느낌. 그리고 크게 말할 수 있는 공명점을 캐치했는데, 이것만 내것으로 만든다면 일상생활에 지장은 없겠다. 힘내자!!

트럼프 지지층, 백인 진보 여성 향해 노골적 '혐오' 공세 n.news.naver.com/mnews/articl... '어풀'은 '부유한 백인 진보 도시 여성(Affluent White Female Urban Liberal)'의 약자로, 단어의 머리글자를 합친 'AWFUL'은 영어로 '끔찍하다'는 뜻이다. 이제 진보적인 백인여성도 혐오와 공격의 대상임. 머스크도 가세함.

@: [미국 뉴욕타임스는 한 과학 기사에서 2017년 2월 백인 우월주의자 모임에서 윗옷을 벗은 남성들이 우유를 들이켜는 모습을 찍은 사진을 소개했다. (중략) 백인 우월주의자들은 "백인이 우월한 과학적 증거"라며 "우유를 마실 수 없다면 미국에서 물러가라"는 구호를 외쳤다.] 살균 안한 우유를 권하는게 인종 차별의 도그 휘슬이라는 의견. 전혀 아니라는 미국 거주자의 반론도 있지만 사실이 그런데.

"By presenting itself as a democratic outlet reporting on crimes against humanity while simultaneously spreading misinformation about self-organisation—particularly among Kurds in Syria—Al Jazeera actively contributes to the incitement of ethnic tensions between Arab and Kurdish communities in the Middle East.

The narratives promoted by Al Jazeera stand in direct contradiction to democratic values and the principles of peaceful coexistence in the region."
