Десять месяцев тюрьмы за красивую картинку «Трудовой кодекс — не Уголовный, можно и нарушить»

Это изображение опубликовано был выложен в TikTok и Instagram 29 сентября. Блогер из Сочи оскорбил чувства верующих фотографией на фоне храма. Мужчина и женщина получили по десять месяцев тюрьмы.
Полиция задержала в Москве блогера из Таджикистана Руслана Бобиева с его девушкой после появления в соцсетях фотографии, на которой он и Анастасия Чистова имитируют оральный половой акт на фоне собора Василия Блаженного.
На нём девушка в куртке с надписью полиция стоит на коленях перед Бобиевым, а он держит ее за волосы - Как если бы делал минет.
Пост сопровождался подписью: 
«Трудовой кодекс — не Уголовный, можно и нарушить».
После задержания Бобиев принес извинения за использование полицейской формы и за то, что фотография была сделана на фоне храма. 
Участники инсценировки получили по 10 суток ареста и Бобиев будет депортирован в Таджикистан.
«Люди забывают про веру, когда им выгодно, но вспоминают, когда надо кому-то подпортить жизнь», 
— прокомментировала ситуацию девушка.
В «Инстаграме» у блогера было более 100 тысяч подписчиков.

Пост скриптум:
Однажды я попал в беду, когда фотографировал Петербург на финском вокзале. Однако закон сталинской эпохи запрещал изображать задний план. Железнодорожный вокзал был стратегическим пунктом назначения.

one whistele blows like birds

The British Parliament shares images from Frances Haugen's
testimony before the Online Safety Committee Monday
.

Facebook Whistleblower Frances Haugen to gave evidence to UK Parliament. Evidence session was on Monday 25October from 2.30pm.
She has told MPs (a joint committee of UK MPs and Lords) about Facebook - it unquestionably making hate worse, as they consider what new rules to impose on big social networks.
"Facebook has been unwilling to accept even little slivers of profit being sacrificed for safety".
According to Ms Haugen self she is  
"incredibly proud of the UK for taking such a world-leading stance".
"The UK has a tradition of leading policy in ways that are followed around the world. I can't imagine Mark (Zuckerberg) isn't paying attention to what you're doing."
She was talking to the Online Safety Bill committee in London.  

Mark Zuckerberg and Nick Clegg have complained that She has only presented a partial view of the company, whereas they want to stop any insights into how the company manages harmful content to get into the public domain, unless they have personally approved them.

Sure, Frances Haugen's evidence has so far strengthened the case for an independent regulator with the power to audit and inspect the big tech companies.

Jag såg vdgg

Refugees fanns en extranumret i måndag.
Mästerligt mörka och djupt existensialistiska album som Pawn Hearts (1971), Godbluff (1975) och Still Life (1976) gjorde att Van der Graaf Generator nådde ut till hjärtan på en mängd sökande musikfantaster världen runt. 
I går I Savoy i Helsingfors med duo.
Det går inte att nämna bandet utan att lyfta Peter Hammills brutalt ärliga texter om varandets tillkortakommanden och hans extremt dynamiska och direkta sångstil. Sant, han har varit i Norden många gånger under 1990-talet, i Oslo och i Helsingfors. Nu han var starkkare en aldrig förre - strakkare än någonsin.
Dom spelade många låtar från albumet H to He, Who Am the Only One är det tredje studioalbumet av den engelska progressiv rock-gruppen Van der Graaf Generator, vilket släpptes i december 1970.

Conformal cyclic cosmology

The invariance of per cycle is maintained.
Mysterious swirling shapes in the space could be leftovers from black holes. I have always thought so.

Those strange shapes in the universe could prove conformal cyclic cosmology. Unexplained shapes in the sky could be evidence of a universe that existed before ours.
According to New Scientist there will be very unusual spotted in the early universe, appear to be sources of vast amounts of information. It is still not clear why those strange parts of the sky would behave in such an outstanding way.
The researchers have now claimed that those spots of energy could be the consequence of "conformal cyclic cosmology", a theory that suggests that our universe existed in another form before ours. 
They could have formed from black holes, the researchers suggest in a new paper.
As such, those unexplained swirling areas in the sky could be the leftovers of another universe.
“What we claim we’re seeing is the final remnant after a black hole has evaporated away in the previous aeon,"
Roger Penrose, a mathematical physicist at Oxford Universe and one of the authors of the study, told New Scientist.
If the universe is going through extreme contractions and expansions, then it is almost certain that just about everything from the previous universe is destroyed when it does, and nothing is carried through into the new one.

But the latest study, published on website Arxiv, suggests that black holes that were around in the previous universe would throw out what is referred to as Hawking radiation, after Stephen Hawking
But so called Hawking radiation still remains to be confirmed.
That radiation could last from one version of the universe into the next, they claim.
Those anomalous points would therefore be explained by what is known as CCC theory. Rather than being mysteriously glowing points, they would be the final "evaporation" of the supermassive black holes that were in the version of the universe that came before ours.

I think that we need new methods of learning to find a richer understanding of where we have come from.The results of  Rudolf Steiner’s meticulous spiritual research into the history of the planet Earth and the beings responsible for its evolution. 
The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception by Max Heindel.

Sure (one day) we will pursue an understanding of the history and pre-history of mankind on this Earth and the previous incarnations of the Earth itself. 
"It is a recognized law of creation that there is always a form of repetition before anything new can evolve. "
And:
"There was not non-existent or existent; there was no realm of air, no sky beyond it.
Darkness there was, at first concealed in darkness this All was undiscriminated chaos.
All that existed then was void and formless; by the great power of warmth was born that unit."

 And: 

"In the universe we do not have repetitions. With each cycle, something new is added to the world's evolution and to humanity’s development. "

Rudolf Steiner

Mystery of Consciousness

The consciousness is not produced by or dependent on the brain. 
The Theosophists said so - because it is so.
Now Eben Alexander, M.D., a distinguished neurosurgeon who spent much of his career on the Harvard medical faculty (and who has authored 150 publications and delivered over 200 papers) got 
near-death-experience in 2008 at age 54 while in a seven-day coma when he battled the rarest of illnesses – bacterial meningitis caused by E. coli.
"The plain fact is that the materialist picture of the body and brain as the producers, rather than the vehicles, of human consciousness is doomed,"
says Alexander in Newsweek.
During his coma, the neo-cortex of Dr. Alexander's brain, which "is responsible for memory, language, emotion, visual and auditory awareness, and logic," shut down completely, making conscious experience, he says, impossible. 
Nevertheless, inexplicably, he began a spiritual journey that took him to three destinations. The first was a dark, Jello-O like, red-brown "muck," a mud pool with a rhythmic, pounding sound, that he calls "the Realm of the Earthworm's Eye." 
The second, which he calls the Gateway, featured a bright light, captivating music and song, and an angel guide, a beautiful woman with high cheekbones, blue eyes, and golden-brown hair. 
Here, with his companion, he found himself in clouds flying over trees, fields, streams, waterfalls, and people. 
The third, which he calls the Core, was the culmination of his journey. In the Core, which he describes as an orb-like ball of light, he encountered God, the all-powerful, all-loving, and all-knowing Creator, who gave him this message:
"God loves him and all others unconditionally;
Evil is necessary on earth because without it human free will and human growth are impossible - and
Love will triumph over evil."
Remarkably, after his visit to the spiritual world, Dr. Alexander's triple intravenous antibiotics defeated the E. coli and, slowly he awoke from the coma-
He find his earthly self, which had been absent during his journey, and eventually resumed his professional practice. 
But he was now a changed person with an urgent aim: to share his journey with others.

We are "spiritual beings currently inhabiting our evolutionarily developed mortal brains and bodies," we get closer to our genuine spiritual selves by manifesting love and compassion on earth, and the materialistic worldview embraced by many scientists is mistaken.
He invites skeptics near and far to do what he failed to do before his transformative journey, that is, to keep an open mind and to investigate the voluminous and ever-growing body of research on near-death and out-of-body experience. 
Here comes a book, Eben Alexander: Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife, 2021.

If the universe may have never begun - theory approaches esotericism

Place: Benugo coffee.
There was no beginning, may be. Perhaps our Universe has always existed. The new theory of quantum gravity reveals how that could work.
Bruno Bento, a physicis, studies the nature of time at the University of Liverpool in the UK. In his work, he employed a new theory of quantum gravity, called causal set theory, in which space and time are broken down into discrete chunks of space-time. At some level, there's a fundamental unit of space-time, according to this theory.
Bento and his collaborators used this causal-set approach to explore the beginning of the Universe. They found that it's possible that the Universe had no beginning – that it has always existed into the infinite past and only recently evolved into what we call the Big Bang.
While General relativity, on the other hand, is the most powerful and complete description of gravity ever devised, Quantum gravity is perhaps the most frustrating problem facing modern physics. They have two extraordinarily effective theories of the Universe: quantum physics and general relativity.
Quantum physics has produced a successful description of three of the four fundamental forces of nature - electromagnetism, the weak force, and the strong force - down to microscopic scales.

Facebook’s problems are known inside the company

 Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein,1948.
Time and again, the documents show, Facebook’s researchers have identified the platform’s ill effects.
A Wall Street Journal investigation says that Facebook Inc. knows, in acute detail, that its platforms are riddled with flaws that cause harm, often in ways only the company fully understands. 
That is the central finding of a Wall Street Journal series, based on a review of internal Facebook documents, including research reports, online employee discussions and drafts of presentations to senior management.

Time and again, despite congressional hearings, its own pledges and numerous media exposés, the company didn’t fix them. The documents offer perhaps the clearest picture thus far of how broadly Facebook’s problems are known inside the company, up to the chief executive himself.

We hurt each other then we do it again

I have nothing to add
except that:
Taliban authorities in Afghanistan have imposed wide-ranging restrictions on media and free speech that are already stifling criticism and dissent, Human Rights Watch said recently.
Despite the Taliban’s promises to allow media that respected Islamic values to function, the new rules are suffocating media freedom in the country.
A copy of the regulations seen by Human Rights Watch says that media are prohibited from printing or broadcasting reports that
 “are contrary to Islam.” 
During a late September meeting with journalists in Kabul, the Taliban Ministry of Information and Culture distributed media regulations whose provisions are so broad and vague as to prohibit virtually any critical reporting about the Taliban.
Many Afghan journalists have fled the country or have gone into hiding, and scores of media outlets, especially outside major cities, have closed altogether. Taliban commanders and fighters have long engaged in a pattern of threats, intimidation, and violence against members of the media, and have been responsible for targeted killings of journalists.
