onionweigher 🧅... @onionweig... · Jan 8 how it feels to post on here as the world descends into chaos: [Embedded quote card:] *** The city was under seige. Everyone was busy fortifying the walls - some were carrying stones, others were patching the walls, yet others were building battlements. Diogenes, not wanting to appear idle while everyone around him was working so frantically, diligently rolled his barrel back and forth along the battlements. The city fell. ***
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A tweet using a Diogenes parable (busywork/performative activity during a real crisis, "the city fell") as a self-deprecating comment on posting on social media amid world chaos. General cultural/humor content, not directly AI-related.
