A rare example of a Shakta Ardhanarishvara ( अर्धनारीश्वर ) Hindu ( ॐ ) depiction Beauty Standards | Thursday – April 23, 2026 H ahahahahaha! Beauty standards ... HA HA HA HA HA! What a joke and what a big fat lie, and yes I used the word fat for a reason. There are no beauty standards, at least not in the year of our lord 2026. But since I brought up fat people , or the word fat to be precise, I suppose that it should be just as well for me to point out that the vast majority of people are fat, and if you consider this a beauty standard, then you have very low standards, and actually those standards do not qualify, read more about that here .     Recently I wrote about anorexia again, which I must say is a funny subject to be right about, and I have been thinking more about fat people and skinny people, and how they relate to the essential side and substantive side of life, and yes it is pretty obvious that fat people are quite substantive.

Sharing by Markus Winkler Information – Further Notes | Tuesday – April 21, 2026 I nformation is a topic that I have brought up in the past, read " Navigating the Informational Landscape ". In this post I thought about sharing some more notes and observations about information, as this is a fairly important subject, and after all we do live in a "informational society".
