Unburdened by a missing Joe and last week's assassination attempt, we are moving on at a rapid pace to Kamala Harris's campaign for POTUS.
Medical event for Biden with no released information, phone call today alleged to be live rather than a 'rec'...ording.
Things are suspicious in suspicious town, Anywhere, USA, but the beat goes on. This week’s shiny News-cicle of the day is the announcement of Kamala Harris for President campaign. Donations are flooding in, and a segment of voters are excited and solidly behind her.
*a post on X on a Sunday about Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the campaign was how Whitehouse admin staffers learned about it. https://x.com/AlexBerenson/status/1815518718408966404?t=4GOI1OL-_vJpbdO11KblZQ&s=19
https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1815080881981190320?t=1NiQzid2G2f10rdIUFvtCw&s=19 *This is a more personal looking account than another with White House imagery - and which doesn’t have the same announcement.

“Kamala Harris just messed up big time: “Joe, I know you’re still on the rec…the call.”
Biden’s ‘phone call’ was actually a recording, likely enhanced by AI. It didn’t long for the truth to come out.” - Cillian (CilComLFC)

My rough analysis of the varied types of evidence- multiple guns were fired at Trump or somewhat randomly at the crowd in Trump's general direction.
The shorting of stock indicates this really was a hit, and the sudden withdrawal from the campaign and trip out of town for First Lady Jill Biden also seems like a tell.

Dr. Jill Biden also announced she is going to France for the Olympics on the same day and that was on the whitehouse.gov website today (Monday).
The phrase VP Kamala Harris likes to say, in a clip montage, is an ear worm, I recommend avoiding the clip montage if you run across it. She “sees what can be, unburdened by what has been,” . . . quite frequently.
Repetition can embed phrases and even new values within listeners. The wording is somewhat confusing, reversing on itself. The future does not need to be tied to the burden of an uncomfortable or traditional past.
“I think I’m too tired to understand what that phrase even means. Someone explain please.”
“Just because something has always been one way doesn't mean we can't look for other ways to do it.”

Key Concepts
Programming: The way our past experiences, thoughts, and emotions affect all areas of our lives, shaping our internal operating system.
Neurological processes: The way our brains interpret and process information, influencing our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Linguistic patterns: The language and communication styles we use, which can either reinforce or change our behavioral patterns.
Techniques and Applications
Reframing: Changing the way we think about and perceive experiences to alter their impact on our lives.
Visualization: Using mental imagery to create positive outcomes and reinforce desired behaviors.
Anchoring: Associating specific physical sensations or emotions with desired states or behaviors.
Meta-programming: Identifying and challenging limiting beliefs and thought patterns to promote personal growth. (Brave AI summary)
What do words mean? Flip flop phrases that befuddle the brain may seem high- browed, college bound, but simple communication has value.
Repetitive speech and phrases can become embedded in the brain.
What is an earworm?
Mnemonic Devices
Earworms can be seen as a natural, involuntary mnemonic device, leveraging music’s ability to trigger memory. By exploiting this phenomenon, music therapists and marketers may develop targeted techniques to enhance memory recall. For instance, pairing a specific tune with new information (e.g., names, faces, or places) could create a personalized “musical tag” for improved memory retention.

What does “unburdened” imply?
Looking for songs with that as a key word, unburden or burden, I got some “kill yourself” references in two songs and other unpleasant results,
…so, I kept looking and found this helpful video by a guitar teacher who gets earworms stuck in his head at night. He walks us through the chord changes and discusses why he thinks the song has helped him move on from an earworm. To save you the click if not interested in good guitar playing, the song is, Michelle, my belle, by the Beatles. It was recommended as an earworm disrupting song and he has found it helpful at night. The song has complex chord reversals which may help get the brain out of a repetitive rut is his non-medical theory.
Or maybe something peaceful and meditative might help:

I just learned something, from my own bad memory and spelling attempt -
the Brave AI gets speculative -
Earworm pneumatic memory
Based on the search results, earworms are involuntary mental recall and repetition of music, often referred to as having a song stuck in one’s head. Pneumatic memory, on the other hand, is a type of memory that uses air pressure to store and retrieve information, as demonstrated in the development of a pneumatic random-access memory (RAM) for controlling soft robots.
There is no direct connection between earworms and pneumatic memory. Earworms are a psychological phenomenon related to music and memory, whereas pneumatic memory is a technological innovation for storing and processing information using air pressure.
However, one could hypothetically explore the idea of using pneumatic memory as a metaphor for understanding earworms. For instance:
Just as pneumatic memory stores information in a non-volatile state, earworms can persist in one’s mind even after the original stimulus (e.g., hearing the song) has ceased.
The “trapping” of air pressure in pneumatic logic circuits could be seen as analogous to the way earworms can “get stuck” in one’s mind, refusing to be forgotten.
The concept of pneumatic memory’s ability to maintain states and retrieve information could be applied to understanding how earworms can recall and replay musical sequences.
While this analogy is speculative and not a direct connection, it highlights the potential for interdisciplinary thinking and creative interpretations across seemingly disparate fields like psychology and technology.

I was trying to think of this word:
Mnemonic memory
Mnemonic memory refers to the use of strategies and devices to aid in the retention and retrieval of information. These techniques, known as mnemonics, help associate new information with something already familiar, making it easier to remember. Here are some key aspects of mnemonic memory:
Types of Mnemonics
Visual Image: Associate a vivid, colorful image with the information to be remembered.
Example: To recall the order of the planets in our solar system, imagine a sentence like “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos” (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).
Acrostics: Create a sentence or phrase where the first letter of each word corresponds to the information to be remembered.
Example: “Every Good Boy Does Fine” to recall the musical notes on the treble clef staff (E, G, B, D, F).
Acronyms: Form a new word from the initial letters of the information to be remembered.
Example: “HOMES” to recall the names of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).
Rhymes and Alliteration: Use rhythmic phrases or repeated sounds to aid recall.
Example: “Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November” to remember the months with 30 days.
Chunking: Break down large amounts of information into smaller, more manageable groups.
Example: Remembering a phone number by dividing it into smaller sets (555-867-5309).
Method of Loci: Imagine placing items to be remembered along a familiar route or in specific locations.
Example: Visualizing a shopping list in different rooms or areas of your home.
Benefits of Mnemonic Memory
Improved Recall: Mnemonics help encode information in a way that makes it easier to retrieve from memory.
Increased Efficiency: By using mnemonics, you can reduce the mental effort required to remember information.
Enhanced Creativity: Mnemonics encourage creative associations between new information and existing knowledge.
Practical Applications
Learning and Education: Mnemonics are commonly used in schools to help students remember facts, formulas, and concepts.
Professional Development: Mnemonics can aid in remembering complex procedures, protocols, or terminology in various fields.
Personal Life: Mnemonics can be used to remember passwords, phone numbers, appointments, and other everyday information.
By incorporating mnemonic memory techniques into your daily routine, you can improve your ability to retain and recall information, making it easier to learn, work, and live more efficiently.

Bingo
Mnemonic memory and earworms
Earworms, also known as involuntary musical imagery (INMI), are catchy tunes that repetitively play in our minds, often without our control. Research suggests that earworms share a connection with mnemonic memory, a type of memory that aids in learning and recalling information.
Association and Encoding
Earworms can serve as a “hook” for associating memories or sensations with specific tunes. As we repeat the earworm in our minds, we may link it to unrelated experiences or emotions, effectively encoding these memories through the musical fragment. This process can improve recall at a later date, especially when the tune plays again.
Mnemonic Devices
Earworms can be seen as a natural, involuntary mnemonic device, leveraging music’s ability to trigger memory. By exploiting this phenomenon, music therapists and marketers may develop targeted techniques to enhance memory recall. For instance, pairing a specific tune with new information (e.g., names, faces, or places) could create a personalized “musical tag” for improved memory retention.
Brain Processing
Research has shown that earworms are recalled with similar accuracy to deliberate musical imagery, and their tempo is closely related to features of concurrent mood (arousal/alertness). Additionally, studies have demonstrated that earworms can be predicted by both extra-musical (song popularity and recency) and musical features (tempo and melodic contour patterns).
Conclusion
Earworms, while often perceived as annoying, may also play a role in processing memories and enhancing mnemonic recall. By understanding the mechanisms behind earworms and their connection to mnemonic memory, we can explore new avenues for improving memory retention and learning, leveraging the power of music to aid our brains in encoding and recalling information.
