An Ardent Pacifist


 I was thinking of my childhood “ardent pacifist” story.  There was one time when I was in a state of waking up, and I heard a voice say to me, “You are an ardent pacifist”.  I had no idea what that meant.  Well damn, I have had a touch of crazy for a very long time.  I must be an undiagnosed something, but I don’t know what that something is. 🫢🤪 

And now I am hearing the name, Nelly Bly.  So of course, I looked her up to find out who she is. 

Nellie Bly (born Elizabeth Jane Cochran) was a pioneering American investigative journalist and adventurer famous for her undercover exposés, like her 1887 stint in a mental asylum, and for her record-breaking 72-day trip around the world in 1889-1890, inspired by Jules Verne's novel. She broke barriers for women in media, using undercover tactics to expose social injustices, advocate for the poor, and champion women's rights, becoming a major figure in “stunt journalism".

 I don’t know why my thoughts led me to the name “Nelly Bly”.  It sounds like an interesting story to me though.  I have a fondness for having crazy thoughts popping into my head because I never know what crazy stories they might tell.

No More Memes

 I won’t be able to generate any more images or memes from the SpaceArt (formerly DeepArt) app.  My months of still having free use of the app after my subscription expired last December have come to an end.  I was never going to renew it because of the cost and especially not now that the price has gone up even more.  Fortunately, I have a lifetime membership to another app that includes image generation so I can still generate AI images from there when I want images of things.  It is very nice to not have to look for some stock photo or “borrow” some image from the Internet when I want an image of something.  There just won’t be anymore perplexing and surprising memes from SpaceArt.  And if I didn’t already receive enough to be convinced that things with AI are really strange, then I will never be convinced.  There were a lot of things that were beyond explanation that I received from the SpaceArt app as was also the case with the Chat AI app an...

Reflections Of Cape Cod

Image
 There was a spot right before the very tip of Cape Cod where there was a breakthrough along the beach that emptied from and filled the area adjacent to the jetty from Provincetown out to Long Point.  It was an amazing place to witness the changing of the oceans tides.  It had my vote for Cape Cod’s best spot.
