it depends on who you are

 my ex was a bit much on the ego and self-righteousness, personality-wise.

She was outright crass in "casual" racism at my expense, and was an outright shrew in abusing people in close proximity and became stuck with that tact if it served her self-absorption (I mean the alliteration cross-lexical by design: repeat that for me, witch! In your own words, mind.)

man, woman, tv

who can solve this cipher?

I think "person" and "camera" are duds - perhaps idiosyncrasies of set patterns of speech denoting patterns of pauses in this case. DJT is programmed to hire conspiracy theoretic tv personalities, and is deliberately designed to favour his own self-image in his ship of fools.

Borat

Giuliani did not recognize SBC and was none the wiser when he wandered so easily into one of Sacha Baron Cohen pranks by luring him into a compromising position. I'd say that that speaks volumes of how stupid, intellectually lazy, uninformed - uninterested in the real world -, and predictable the MAGA people really are.

Trump is like that. And he got voted in by a cultivated, culpable zealots of MAGA with a mere slim margin of American voters (historical, indeed!). Cult members of any stripe, ilk, and inclination will always march mindlessly into the maw of the likes of the Jonestown mass suicide. But, then again, this is The Sum of All Fears, for real. Or, what Putin is threaten to inflict upon our world.

for those grieving the "win" by Trump

PBS, from America

Reuters, to the world

I once read a piece, written by whom I do not remember, that 'dictatorships' rarely survive the dictator's demise.

A study into the nature of Inuktitut - the framework

When one looks closely into Inuktut pragmatics, one finds this:

Taamasi Qumaq:

uqaqtuq – inuk suliniraqsuni isumaminik uqatuarami taga uqaqtuq piujumik piunngitumigluuniit

            person/ truth+claims+he+when/ (about)+his+mind/, talks+immediately+when/, thus/,                    speak+he/ good/ good+not+it+a+or/ 

or,

speaks - when a person claims to tell the truth as far as he/she is aware of and faithful to that gotten knowledge, thus, says something - good or bad - about that given subject (vouchsafed)

-----

In Inuktut, the semantic and connotational features are "invisible" (ie, "implied") in formalized/ritualized speech, like any and all human languages. But it is systematic and systemic in that it is called an "3rd person, singular, indicative mood" in linguistics. This verbal inflection is then compared to other forms: "let me..."; "am I..?" (I'll explain these verbal modality in later posts)

Twist Of Words - Kangiqtugaapik

He can conceive of and orchestrate stuff like this and best me in this rendition of a song I wrote (sans words):

A study into the nature of Inuktitut - an introduction

The morpho-syntactic rules of the Inuit-Yupik language, unified across the board in this respect, are different from SVO or OSV languages, say, English or French. Inuktut (the Inuit language) has this syntax for the intransitive predicate:

pisuk                   +       tunga                              pisuktunga

to walk                        (or verb-ing)+I               to walk I am                   I am walking/I walk

The pattern looks like this: infinitive verb + default (progressive) present tense/aspect + subject of the predicate in the indicative mood.

To this, one may insert non-present adverbial tenses (more on proximity of temporality later).

pisuk                   +        lauq+tunga                        pisulauqtunga

to walk                         past I                                  to walk I did                I was walking/I walked

or,

pisuk                   +          niaq+tunga                        pisungniaqtunga

to walk                           future I                              to walk I will              I will be walking/ I will                                                                                                                         walk

-------------

In my next installment, I will explain the use of other subject pronominal endings (person and number) that go with the intransitive, indicative mood using different adverbial morphemes (such as manner, frequency, degree, movement and direction, etc.).

Mindful standing and walking(?)

I don't know if what I think I've found would be called, "mindful posture/posturing"; I think that that has to do with Buddhists' notions of meditation.

The thing I found is mindfully seeking the proper alignment of my upper torso, legs, and soles of my feet in the most balanced and relaxed form as I stand still. I also seek the most relaxed, balanced gait as I walk.

This has been kind of a switch for me because I've always slouched sitting and standing, and, now, I've developed an arthritic right hip and a sometimes audible, clicking pop of my right knee cap if I have sat for too long and then I move to stand up.

I think this intention of mind and body in the way I stand and walk not only helps with the way I sit, but also that it helps me with my overall sense of well-being. I seem to be more awake and engaged.

when was I at my most happy last?

I'm not very personable at the best of times (to people who don't (and do) know me I may seem rude and impatient most times).

One of my saddest regrets is to have lost my greatest love simply because I didn't know (don't know) how to express the depths of my affection and joy when it comes to my home, my safe place (her).

here is a picture when I was at my happiest, when I felt the most safe.

I think we need to listen to this

 Home and done it's just begun

His heart weighs moreMore than it ever did beforeWhat has he done?God help my sonHey, stay a while, I'll stay upNo sugar is enough to bring sweetness to his cupI know sorrow tastes the same on any tongue
How was I to feel itWhen a gun was in my handsAnd I'd waited for so longHow was I to see straightIn the dust and blinding sunJust a pair of boots on the ground
On the screen the young men dieThe children cryIn the rubble of their livesWhat has he done?God help my sonHey, stay a while, I'll stay upThe volume pumped right upBut not enough to drown it outI hear "Mama" sounds the same in any tongue
How am I to see youWhen my faith stands in the wayAnd the wailing is long doneHow am I to know youWith a joystick in my handWhen the call to arms has come
