Many people who've lost a loved one talk to them in their heads or out loud. Wind phones are a way of channeling that — often old-fashioned rotary telephones, installed in public spaces, where you can say all the things you want to say to the people you're grieving. Here's a story from Fodor's Travel explaining the idea's origins in Japan, and how it's become a worldwide movement. “Most of them are at beautiful places where they’re quiet, private, and in nature, which I think is important," says Amy Dawson, whose daughter died in 2020. "It allows us to surrender to our grief and express what we need to express.”

The question becomes. Do you stay in a country and try to defend its ideals or you let it be overcome by fascist and Nazis to preserve your safety and your life? Many hundreds of years ago our fore founders fought and died to defend an ideal.. the American dream. At some point. You have to make a stand one way or the other. What side of history do you wanna be on? #ideals #death #America #USA #constitution #Nazi

the clip of glasgow hero, cathy rutherford, reacting to thatcher's death made me wonder if she had a US counterpart when reagan died. if she did, that person was not at the 2004 MTV movie awards. pack of bootlickers (apart from, maybe, kate beckinsale).

Using avatars to speak to the dead may comfort some, but it risks eroding our collective grasp on reality. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/04/09/world/ai-resurrecting-the-dead/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #ai #artificialintelligence #llms #death

Estate is such a weird word.

Finally closed out our volunteer gig of dissolving a veteran's estate by handing over the last bits of paperwork to the next of kin.

The old man had just under $ 10 K debt when he died. No money beyond sixty dollars in the bank. While in hospital is residence was plundered. Nobody knows what was taken.

The fate of a poor American after a lifetime of work.

3 children are among those killed in the #russian missile strike in #KryvyiRih at this hour.

Current #death death toll stands at 12, with over 50 injured.
