It's obviously quite weird thinking about the unprecedented actions that now need to be taken, to vanquish unprecedented evil of unprecedented potential and unprecedented scale, and those helping it and creating it and facilitating it.
But, that's where we are.
It's time.
As we learn more about the organised crime links,
and work on it internationally,
and get strong media coverage of that,
at least that will be very helpful for community support for going in for the kill on absolutely every part of this
which will include churches, cults, media networks, money, capital, political parties and their funding, lots of things
plenty of stuff that might in the past have managed to be more 'untouchable'
A ton of people in every country have to go away forever
and other things need to just be wound down and ended and massive future restrictions and seizure of things
with what they have done and who they have been willing to mix with and work with, and things they were willing to do, as the valid justification.
The community will support this.
Better sooner than later.
These things have gone on long enough.
Now is the time of decisionmaking.
Time's up.
Nothing and nobody is exempt.
We are watching everyone and everything.
Pick a side.
From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!
Because people will pay attention to cute animals, here are some of the critically endangered/endangered species housed at the Nashville Zoo!
The Amur Leopard and Clouded Leopard (which recently celebrated its 50th cub born at the zoo!)
The Sumatran Tiger
The Red Ruffed Lemur and Ring-Tailed Lemur
The Cotton-Top Tamarin and White-Cheeked Gibbon
The Colobus Monkey and De Brazza’s Monkey
And the Mexican Spider Monkey!
Look at them!!!! Look at them and fight like hell to save them!!!!
Now is the time of decisionmaking.
Time's up.
Nothing and nobody is exempt.
We are watching everyone and everything.
Pick a side.
Oh my god, being able to write down even a tiny shitty incoherent version of it, helped so much. So much. AAAAAAAAARGH *screams two years of inflammation out of my body*
(thats not counting the previous amount with the government's and unions' best buddies doing a genocide, underfunded or outsourced or privatised or enshittified services, people suffering in the community, twelve hour waits in emergency rooms, saying "listen to the science" before elections then releasing the Future Fucking Gas Strategy, and now fucking AI and data centres, i could go on)
*how the crap have lots of people been living with some knowledge of this current shitfuckery for YEARS*
*how the crap have less privileged people around the world throughout history lived this way against open hostility and threat THROUGHOUT LIFE*
I haven't been able to find any perfect metaphor for what we are actually dealing with here
in its full entirety
And in its plain factual form, my brain just doesn't seem to have the capacity to gather it, and organise it, and clearly lay it out
So, for now, I just.... can't write this down. It's frustrating.
(I absolutely won't claim that I understand/see anywhere near the whole array of it, in anywhere near full detail and full workings, I don't know if that's even possible for one brain to hold every strand of that much information, and plus in various areas of more generalised knowledge my broader general knowledge is not that strong - I tend to learn strange specific niches and sift through and dig into who are vested interest sources vs indepenent, who are genuine experts in the domain and who aren't, and why, etc - much more dedicatedly than my efforts with broad knowledge of certain wider broader average stuff
but having grasped now at least, WHY it is this infinite labyrinthine structure, an almost INFINITE MACHINE (a figurative machine), churning out almost INFINITE MESS, over DECADES, maybe LONGER THAN DECADES, but absolutely accelerating up to a flashpoint for sure, and even creating a wacky bullshit idea that some people can look at and point to and fold into their own experience of this insanity machine,
now that I am grasping a bit more, WHY that is, WHY that and its infinite labyrinths and mazes to perfectly trap infinite levels and groups of different people in, even powerful people and the forces that are supposed to inform us, protect us, should know much much better, etc, and to separate infinite splintering groups of people into, WHY all of this is the required/best model to entrench your power the most strongly/permanently, and the way you have to branch that model out and vary it and tweak it and customise it, in order to gather/mint more oligarchs and dictators and servants and cult loyalists and powerful useful idiots and apparatus and people and groups and area and resources under that model,
and once you can stand back, and see that overarching structure, and so many layers and branches and sort of roughly how they work, and yes, proliferating tools being added now, more actual literal machines assisting now with the functions of the Figurative machine. But once you stand back and see this larger structure and what it does,
you at least feel less ....insane
It is CRAZYMAKING knowing that almost all of the people who should be working together to dismantle it,
aren't.
CRAZYMAKING
I hope lots of journalists and researchers and scholars etc can just keep spreading out all the pieces of it and I'm grateful they can do it so much better than I can.
It is so, so utterly brain-frying, wellbeing-hazardous, and soul-destroying living in it
An endless, endless, infinite epistemic and moral abyss
It is going to take a long time to look back and fully understand every piece of this, and find every crime, and actually really really end it
But,
we really really just have to
And you will become a figure of history
Every single journalist or researcher who does good work on any tangent of this (and is careful to get their nonspecialty stuff right too and not add to misinfo) will be an eternal part of history
It is quite literally the biggest story of all time
The biggest crime of all time
Huge thank you to all of you for all of your work
Keep going
And it will be known forever whether you were part of it,
or whether you were genuinely and effectively fighting it and dismantling it
And the time when you face the world for what you did,
is coming along now sooner than you think
If Disney's showing signs of seeing the writing on the wall,
beware.
i miss when subscriptions didnt really exist and you could just pay one time to buy an app or some software, and then just.. have it. without ads. without recurring costs. without more paywalls. it was just yours forever.
We're not keeping this shitfuckery they've created. (And I'm meaning a LOT more than just this.)
We're going to have to put a lot of people in prison forever, sieze a lot of assets, ban a lot of things, strip a lot of power and influence, permanently, and burn it down.
There's still time for various people and structures to decide which category they're going to end up in,
and to turn everyone who conned and misled and compromised them over to us.
Every last one.
Many people are going to take a big, big fall.
Now is a time of decisionmaking, on whether or not to remain included.
There is still much more, and much worse, that is going to come out.

Friends,
Someone I didn’t know approached me early this morning on my way to breakfast. He looked about 60 years old, with dark hair graying at the temples. He was dressed in a tie and jacket.
He asked me if I was Robert Reich. I admitted to it.
“Well, I just want to say …” he began, but nothing more came out of his mouth. “I just want to say …” he started again. Then silence.
“I’m sorry,” I said with as friendly a smile as I could muster at that hour of the morning, “but I’m meeting someone for breakfast.”
His eyes welled up.
“Oh, I didn’t mean to be rude!” I said, suddenly feeling dreadful. “I apologize. I just …”
“No, no, no,” he said, shaking his head and wiping his eyes. “It’s just that I’ve been feeling, well, so lonely in all this …”
“I understand,” I said.
“You see, I-I’m from the Central Valley,” he continued. “My wife and my brother are Trumpers, and a lot of my neighbors. You have no idea ….” His eyes welled up again.
“I really do get it. I hear it all the time.”
“They tell me stuff that’s just … well, not true.”
“It’s like they’re in a different world,” I said.
“Yes! Exactly!” he became more animated. “I mean, sometimes I don’t know if they’re crazy or I’m crazy.”
“Well, I don’t know you, so I can’t say for certain,” I said with a smile, “but I very much doubt you’re the crazy one.”
“So when I saw you … well,” his voice grew quieter. “You make sense.”
“I try to,” I said, starting to feel embarrassed. I glanced at my watch. “Look, I really …”
“Oh, I don’t want to hold you up!” he said. “It’s just that ….”
“Look, there are millions of people like you,” I said. “Some live in MAGA parts of the country. They often feel lonely, and sometimes they wonder if they’re crazy. But let me assure you .…”
“No need!” he said, shaking his head. “You go on to your breakfast! I’ve taken enough of your time.”
“I just want to tell you most Americans now feel exactly as you do. Even if they didn’t a year and a half ago, they do now. They’re now seeing the results of this despicable regime.”
“Thank you,” he said.
“Good luck!” We shook hands. He turned away, walking quickly in the other direction. I ran to breakfast.
I’ve had a lot of brief discussions like this with people who feel isolated and sometimes unsure of themselves.
In my experience, the vast majority of Americans are decent people. But like the man I briefly spoke with this morning, they can sometimes feel alone and confused.
Our job — yours and mine — is to reassure them that they’re not alone and they’re not crazy, that America has been taken over by a man and a regime that are spewing blatant lies, and those lies are being amplified on social media and occasionally on mainstream media.
Too many people don’t understand this. They feel as if they’re the only ones feeling disconnected and powerless. But they’re not powerless. In fact, if each of them votes in November, their votes will force a great change in America. Even greater in 2028.
I think it also important to reassure each other that these terrible times will end. More Americans are seeing through the lies as well as the cruelty and corruption. They’re deciding they want this daymare to end, peacefully, and are committed to rebuilding and rectifying the nation.

me being 'left behind'
I think the most damage this site has done to me is making me think "It's fucken wimdy" when it is, in fact, fucken wimdy outside.
I taught one of my ranching buddies “it fucken wimdy” and now he says it around his older more established ranching buddies
The exhilaration I get- upon hearing an old rancher (I’ve never met before) in cowboy boots and a cowboy hat while on a horse, grimly saying “it fucken wimdy” in a thick west Texas accent as he looks down upon his cows- is incalculable
economists really took the divine right of kings and turned it into billionaire CEOs
“it’s kinda fucked up to reject the business practices of jeff bezos when he rightfully earned his position under capitalism”
“About twenty years ago, I attended a lecture by a Harvard professor who talked about how corporations operate like modern-day kingdoms. At one time, she said, people believed kings ruled by divine right, and today we seem to believe the same thing about corporations. Toward the end, she asked, “Do you know what it is that allowed people to let go of, overcome, and reject the notion of the divine right of kings?” I held my breath and got ready to take some notes. Her answer: “They just stopped believing in it.”
