🆕 blog! “Chapter 14 - Wednesday I'm In Love”

Welcome to NaNoWriMo, where I - and thousands of other plucky souls - try to write a 50,000 word novel in a month. You are reading "Tales of the Algorithm". A compendium of near-future sci-fi stories. Each chapter is a stand-alone adventure set a few days from now. Everything you read is possible - there's […]

In 1999, I was wearing all black because the summer camp I went to for a week had a white on black shirt that year. There was a whole crew of us.

A police officer came up to a group of us hanging out in a bus stop and asked — memory timidly — "Are you anarchists?”

I've remembered that interaction ever since, and think of it every time I discover I'm wearing all black.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am, I can now say. Not like "throw things through windows" anarchist, though I sympathize sometimes, more a "I don't trust you in the position of power, we will have to get it done ourselves as we always have" anarchist.

Nobody can take care of us but us. That can be a big us or a little us, but nobody's going to do it for us. That much is clear now.

Shocked, shocked.

"the Times warned its readers that #DonaldTrump — if returned to the White House in 2025 — is grooming a new team of extremist government lawyers who would be more loyal to their Dear Leader than to the #RuleOfLaw, and could help #Trump install a brand of American #fascism.

You say you didn’t hear anything about this? That’s not surprising...

“Trump Allies Want a New Style of Lawyer if He Returns to Power,” was the original online headline"

Because these billboards are just monitors rotated 90 degrees, they’re invisible to polarized sunglasses. It’s like a real-life ad blocker!

People of the US: election day is tomorrow. Voting is harm reduction and small, local elections are the ones where your vote has the highest impact. Go do the thing.

WeWork is another perfect example where one scammish person, Adam Neumann walks away rich while leaving investors with nothing

Hopefully history will remember them for what they ruined

Democrats:

Do not stick your heads in the sand regarding recent polling.

Always run as though you're behind.

Always run as though you're behind.

Always.

Mike Johnson is a lunatic christofascist.

That he is now second in line for the presidency behind Kamala Harris, if woe should befall JB, is beyond terrifying.

Remember: political polls only measure the opinions of people too dumb to reject calls from unknown numbers.

Wow. I found the vitriol on BlueSky that I didn’t here on Mastodon. Bad stumble. For me, Mastodon was a breath of fresh air. Here when I use the discover feature, I encounter cool pics and people saying interesting things or giving compliments. I can lurk and read science posts I don’t understand and just like and boost other users’ content. I guess I’m saying thank you to the people here building a supportive community. I’m sticking around here where I’ve blocked under 5 people in over a year.
