An Overwhelming Network
Twentieth-century road maps present a dream of a free-flowing, interconnected network. Lines of all types show you how to.get around: some vary in color and thickness depending on the size of the road while others show counties, states, time zones, and rivers. Up close, the map illuminates possibilities.
But, from a distance, the promise of an accessible world becomes one overwhelming mass of tendrils.

I'm obsessed with this pre-interstate road map of Kentucky, Tennessee, and adjoining states

We still have all of these spokes roads. Once they hit the county line, the names each change to Lexington Rd (or Pike). Until the county line, they're named for the next town. I live 2 blocks from Richmond Rd.

If you go through the Epstein files, it is alarming how many survivors reported.
Records existed.
Thousands of reports.
Women screaming into silence.
The network continued.

That alone should alarm every American.

How many stories never reached a file?

And here we are again.

Trump makes "ceasefire" proposal.

Ukraine accepts it.

Russia rejects it.

Trump blames Ukraine.

This is now the 8th time.

you could probably make a pretty compelling episode of television (or a short story) about a post-apocalypse world where private security chiefs killed all of their employers when the shit hit the fan and became the warlords that tech barons and billionaires all thought *they* would be

ZineLibrary

Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.

Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?

KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication

On Feb. 13, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

This is really succinct.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. He's a loser. I can tell you right now for certain that I'm not going to vote for him in the 2028 general election BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOING TO BE THE FUCKING NOMINEE.

This isn't a message from someone on the fringe or the radical left.

Ty Cobb is Trump's former attorney.

Everyone needs to wake up.

Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that.

Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?
