Defenseless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

I don’t really use this account ,ugh like I would a typical social media account; it’s not really a place where I talk about what’s going on in my life much.

However, it seems relevant to note my sole surviving parent passed from this world on Friday morning; her burial’s in Tennessee tomorrow.

Now "browsing" means Netflix compiles your recent watch history and feeds you more of the exact same thing. Or Amazon analyzes your buy history and gives you a list of 15 books with basically the same title. You rarely stumble upon something new or different by chance. It's eroding our curiosity.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

The scene now at Lafayette and Howard, diagonal to the ICE garage which activists remain camped out in front of on both sides of the building.

The US government is gonna do what it always does: Coup Latin America to preserve American investments. Like Prospera.

We are losing COUNTRIES to tech fascism, to the Network State, every year now.

Tech fascists have a colony there, Prospera.
Prospera is a Network State colony.

And now that venture capital has ahold of the American state, they are using the state's giant machinery to try to make elections go their way in Honduras. SO THEY CAN GET THEIR NETWORK STATE

I just want to be 100% clear:

The most important thing that is happening in tech fascism right now is that on Sunday there are elections in Honduras.

We are literally at risk of Honduras falling to tech fascism in front of our eyes.

Weather it’s Joe Biden pardoning kids who were caught with a couple ounces of weed or Donald Trump pardoning the Honduran president who smuggled in 400 tons of cocaine, both presidents were soft on drugs.

JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

We know this is a bid for authoritarian governance and at this point it is clear it is failing

We know in other countries, such failures generally end with "and then he fled to Russia" or "and then he went to trial" or "and then he and his entire family were murdered."

Why would we be different?

#botaday Jetfire. A deluxe Classics version that evokes the original toy without using the Macross design. Has add-on armor and a cool helmet design that looks like his classic toy head but can removed to reveal a head that resembles his classic animated design. Jetfire was available in 2006.
