is it a good sign when the uniform response to a classified briefing is basically everyone immediately doing a vertical video about it in which they spend most of the time screaming that we’re all gonna die?

And I try to avoid "grief for the plight" films and pine for "atmospheric drawn-out tension in which the monster is almost certainly the sexual subtext"

The Stand has already been too relevant.
Danse Macabre is ALWAYS relevant.
I am upset that Swan Song is potentially relevant AGAIN.

If I hear about a supernatural/alien crime wave I will be very upset.

For most of my junior year of highschool my comfort re-read books were

The Stand, by Stephen King
Swan Song, by Robert R. McCammon
Danse Macabre, by Stephen King
It, by Stephen King
(and various Mercedes Lackey books not germane to my point)

A model kit in progress. It is some sort of closeup city street or alley, and the wires sticking out all over indicate it will have LED lighting when it is done.

Book Nook model kit in progress. It's not broken, I have a piece propped up while the glue dries before I do the next step.

Here's an example of individual people preventing nuclear war in the U.S. side!

THANK YOU

I ordered seeds yesterday.

"It's not the crime, it's the coverup" is taking on whole new dimensions as That Fucking Guy starts an illegal war/series of murders - to cover up that he raped a 13-year-old.

Like. Wildly disproportionate coverup, there.

Prosecute the Epstein Files' pedophiles and rapists! All of them!

TIL that all of the cases *that we know of,* and that is a huge caveat, of military personnel deciding to NOT follow procedures and therefore prevent nuclear holocaust are Soviet. There are no examples that we know of in which US personnel did the same.

Please tell me if you know of any.

I keep looking at my houseplants in the full knowledge that they may be the last green things I see in the nuclear winter. (Protected indoors, shade plants.)

I never thought of my nuclear-mindset as trauma. I thought it was practical realism.

APPARENTLY it was trauma.

Stephen Colbert last night:

"Fun fact, 'Epic Fury' is an anagram for 'Forget Epstein'."

Good lord, I deeply appreciate what you are doing.

I know you're all giving what you can.

If you can help my actual in-person buddy Caz's immediate neighbors, fantastic.

If you can't donate, any signal boost is appreciated.

Also, Caz will post pics of Kenny the Lizard.

Measuring the economic damage of Minnesota’s ICE surge is hard • Minnesota Reformer Emerging statistics on the economic impact of Operation Metro Surge to Minnesota — $203.1 million in damage in Minneapolis, $106 million in lost wages in the Twin Cities — are based on limited data an...

So.

You want to convince your city, town, and county to proactively REJECT working with ICE/CBP?

Send them this link about the staggering financial cost to the Twin Cities.

Okay, just Minnesotans here?

Angie Craig has taken money from crypto and AIPAC.

Peggy Flannagan has NOT and WILL not.

Angie Craig praised ICE before Metro Surge. She changed her tune now.

Peggy Flanagan has not praised ICE.

VOTE PEGGY FLANAGAN FOR SENATOR!

I have

DONE THE DISHES and

ORDERED SEEDS TO PLANT and

WIPED DOWN THE KITCHEN COUNTERS

I am victorious.

4. I had forgotten the omnipresent ads for various Time Life products, all first-one-free.

Someone uploaded 3+ hrs of late-night MTV from 1990 to YouTube.

1. I did not recall the relentless ads for Playboy.
2. I did not recall the sheer normality of grown men purporting to have sex with teens or dubious legality in the ads, the MVs, the everything.
3. We did Sinead O'Connor dirty.

Once again, attending my weekly community meeting replenishes my energy and will for the ongoing struggle of collective liberation.

The alchemy that turns fear and rage into care for other people is *magic* to me, even as I am *doing* it.

Life is the process of realizing you're doing something.

"Mom's and Aunties wear a camouflage that works because it's *real*."

Yes. This.

Sometimes I hear calls for a more aggressive response. I always say that THAT is a game WE CANNOT WIN. But caring for each other is a game they don't even know how to PLAY. So we win it.

YouTube video by Step Back they sent 3,000 agents. they weren't ready for the PTA.

"The state's threat model is calibrated for militants. ... It's not expecting to track Susan armed with a tater-tot hotdish!"

Points disscussed:

The Black Panther Party and comms
The Underground Railroad & 4-person affinity group
The State's threat model & mutual aid

(Shades of "how do these people know how to organize, it must be a directed conspiracy!!!" Like. Y'all. I have been reading fiction by The Greatest Generation and the Boomers *my entire life*. These folks put their military and protest experience INTO THEIR FICTION.)

Also, I first learned about the 4-people network from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

Just learned the phrase "Asphixyating Cognitive Dissonance," and, yeah.

Yeah.

Constant. Relentless. Lies.
