Showed the TSA my Hyperreal ID and they gave me backstage passes for the security theater

some lose their own conviction in their capacity to do good at this juncture, and lose any concept of good and evil. they no longer see the differences between cruelties, and the whole matter becomes intellectual.

accepting that you are in some ways monstrous, that there are parts of your own soul you wouldn’t keep, prevents losing your own empathy and humility. at the same time, some take pride in doing this, and end up with a paralyzing sympathy for the devil

“clanker” is cringe. the proper thing to do is not give names to tools at all

Minneapolis is a city of mirrors.

and let's be honest: putting military police on the streets is way more serious a problem than a sex scandal, even one this severe

trying to say political figures are doing something as a distraction from another event is not very useful (i.e. federalizing DC police is a distraction from epstein). more than one action concurring is the norm, and does not ultimately control what is being reported on.

transforming, piece by piece

as the US is now under maritime law, as a free-man-of-the-land and equal claimant to sovereignty as authorized by the Holy Spirit, I authorize all vampires, even draculas, access and invitation to all living quarters. Please turn their living rooms into unsettling parlors, we need more third spaces.

Yeah. I spent this week walking around Buffalo, and what is here vs. what the tech utopians are envisioning makes it clear to me what an absurd vision it is. None of the industry needed is functioning, and if it did, it wouldn’t cooperate

classic cyberpunk skips around the question of who builds the towers, where the steel comes from, how it all moves. these cities would be lit orange from perpetual construction

there will be a reckoning of how much of reality has been abandoned. and that abandoned reality, that world unserved, will claw its place back.

cyberpunk won’t be in the big cities, but the broken ones. the battle for the future will take place in the twentieth century’s ruins, where no one can afford to be lost in the digital

what if someone invents video games and it turns out they’re a form of art

trying to imagine what an American Dubai would be… I think it would be like building a Warren Buffet Space Elevator in the Nebraska Sandhills and surrounding it with coworking spaces and stack housing. They’d name it something like “Manifest”
