The Oct 26 Crisis-Phase Tracker is live.
The system isn’t splintering — it’s consolidating.
Private money funding troops. A silent House. Dissent redefined as “terrorism.”
Abnormal governance has become routine.

The Shedding Civilization – NeuroSaeculum

What if renewal wasn’t something that happened to civilizations — but something they learned to do on purpose?

Crisis-Phase Tracker — Oct 18 2025:
Abnormal governance is now the norm.
Loyalty-screened hiring, selective funding, press control & Guard defiance show a system adapting to crisis, not healing.

this, my friends, is the difference between representative government and fascism for fascism’s sake.

if Donny and his merry band of shithole goons were actually interested in mitigating all this supposed crime happening in Chicago, they’d be coordinating the fuck out of the whole operation. right now, there would be a hundred conference calls a day happening between Chicago and DC. ‘ok, let’s figure out where the crime is, and where to best deploy.’ every last detail would be worked out in advance.

but none of that shit is going on, because the Mad King could give a fuck about actually fighting crime. what he wants is a fascistic display of force. what he wants is dominance — because deep down inside, Donny is an emotionally-scarred little boy who never got over being told what a weak piece of shit he was by his tyrant Klansman father, and now he’s going to make the entire world suffer as a result.

it’s all so fucked up. this is what happens when you let the most broken-inside person ever to walk the face of the earth hold the reins of power.

Only Dear Leader Can Fix It™? yeah, right.

"WEAK LOSER" DONALD TRUMP (CRAPPY HAIR!) IS A BROKEN-INSIDE MANCHILD. (SAD!) HIS TYRANT FATHER (KKK!) DESTROYED HIM AND NOW WE ALL MUST SUFFER AS A RESULT. YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) EXPLAINS THIS IN A GREAT POST THAT MANY ARE SAYING IS THE GREATEST POST EVER. READ IT HERE: bit.ly/3HD7AQd

Why do eras feel so different?

Turns out, it’s not just politics — it’s brain chemistry.

August 14, 1945, Times Square: crowds celebrate the end of World War II. Sailors, soldiers, and civilians embrace and cheer in the streets, a vivid snapshot of collective relief marking a Turning transition.

Every ~80 years, history rhymes: stability → rebellion → fragmentation → crisis → repeat.

The Hidden Circuitry of the Four Turnings reveals the neurochemical loop behind it — and how we might soften the next swing.

We are now closer to the year 2050 than to 2000. Anyone born today has a good chance of living to 2100.

You're welcome. 😁

This is about Juneteenth. Nothing more. He wants people to hate having a day off if it means honoring the end of slavery.

Amazon knelt in the Pit of Doom, and for once he did not care that Shaidar Haran watched his trembling with that eyeless, impassive gaze. "Have I not done well, Great Lord?"

The Great Lord's laughter filled

Amazon `s head.

Fun fact: the site is over two years older than Wikipedia. There was no Wikipedia to model the site after.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

Crushing my enemies, seeing them driven before me... wait, *checks cover* wrong book.
Learning about Strauss Howe's Turnings, Zmigrod and civilization level dopamine levels and how this affects what's happening in the world. Fascinating stuff.

What if someone in 1974 tried to warn us about what was coming?
About Reagan, deregulation, outsourcing, Trump, and climate collapse?

I wrote that warning—looking back on the future they couldn’t see yet.

Can the U.S. President change national holidays?
Nope. Only Congress can create, eliminate, or rename federal holidays.
The president can suggest changes or issue one-time proclamations, but he can’t legally rename Veterans Day or make May 8 a holiday without a law.

This is a fourteen image panel, seven images per side of this vertical image. All of the images are of Robert Strange playing the Eelfinn in The Wheel of Time Season 3 Episode 8. Most of these are close up face shots where he is grimacing, smiling, laughing, and staring. A few of them are closeups to his human skin clothing. One of those is the spine. One is of his waist and the knives there. And one focus on his hands. You can see Donal Finn playing Mat in a few of these just over his shoulder. The Eelfinn has bright orange hair and is very furry and resembles a fox like figure.

Our #TheWheelOfTime Interview with an Eelfinn! Had a blast talking to @robertstrange.bsky.social. Is he good at bargaining? Would he choose fire, music, iron or none of the above? Would he ask for something for which he couldn't set the terms or price? WAFO!
