Despite (regularly scheduled) ails, had a nice one.

Birthday~

I will condemn political violence, and wholeheartedly believe virtually no *individual* is a deserving recipient.
Indeed, political violence and a free society are not compatible.

But there are no contradictions, to believe otherwise is willful ignorance.

I've long contemplated the exodus allegories here,
the idea that we all have to wander the desert for 40 years so those too rigid in their ways cannot enter a new era.
Unfortunately, society and the environment don't have the ability to weather 40 more years without catastrophe.

Australia is a beautiful country, but one of the greatest visuals you are unable to experience here, are mountains ranges towering over us like you can grasp here.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

I'm envisioning something like this, which is "objectively" presenting lying and revisionism as an insidious opportunity -

Once upon a time the only tactic was to ignore it hoping people forgot.
Perhaps not today, but it is getting ever closer: plausible deniability due to Generative AI.

三周年おめでとう！ヾ(*´∀ ˋ*)ﾉ

"You couldn't be that stupid, I mean - they had evil intentions"

The grandest of irony, declared resolutely. And yet, innumerable people will still believe he, and his regime, are "just stupid".
If people only knew what their ambivalence produces by not KNOWING their enemy.

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital.

PELOSI: Take the shot

This chapter in Honkai Star Rail is brutal (thus far)

Dropped 2% body fat in 2 weeks~

I applaud it & it's general origins in the current context (Bernie Sanders, AOC, et al.). But for those adjacent or actually part of government structure at any point, it was undeniably enabled by them [too].

It really needs substance, otherwise it's just the new buzz marketing terms in politics.

A very strict messaging coming from Democrats, liberals, etc. in regards to oligarchy definably being the skewed distribution of wealth, yet ... this is demonstrably the case under their own governments.
Trump arguably is only accelerating the process.
It's coming off as disingenuous.

I have heard kookies at night, but so so so rarely. That's pretty neat.

So was I (kookaburras chortling not long after butcher birds went ballistic over something unknown)

In other anime relatedness, I finished Chi Chikyuu about a week ago.

Madhouse might really be honing in on the mortality awareness "genre" (shoutouts to Frieren), wondering if the trend continues.
It was good, a dry and simple narrative perhaps, but a lot to digest still.

Lyco Reco season 2? starts soon

we are sooooo back
(in 15 days and 2 hours and 40 minutes and 33 seconds)

At best Corporate America capitulated, but far more likely is co-conspiracy to conduct a revolution (or coup) as quietly as possible. It's quite clear the most influential billionaires are *all* on side with this regime.

Similar to what was orchestrated in Australia with Whitlam & elsewhere.
