Power is necessarily suspect, and any healthy collection of people engaged in a shared enterprise, whether that's a country or a business or a family system, must design itself to protect against its abuse.

Because what we really want is special agents in suits and dress shoes closing with an opponent and taking then right to the ground so that the agents weapons are within reach of the opponents hands. If you had 144 Kash Patels you'd have gross stupidity.

Goodnight from the Red House Transport Cafe, where Sadie Stowen is finding out the going rate for her soul. Goodnight from the boot boys under Brighthaven Pier, suddenly realising that they aren’t tooled up enough for a ruck with what’s emerging from the sea. Goodnight from Hookland.

Also quick reminder: have you seen the large man who lives in my house and his little white toes
a fluffy grey tabby wedged into a bed that i put up there for his much smaller sibling -- round, with light grey fabric. he is facing away from the viewer. his back toes are visible (all white except for where he has a hole in his sock and has one grey toe).

I just heard a doctor get asked what the lived experience of long covid is like for patients and he said “imagine a few months after a covid infection you go to a party and you can’t remember anyone’s names” and to me, this is like describing having cancer as “imagine you have a mole that’s itchy.”

Photo of the back cover of Do You Have Any Chips? True Stories of Alien Intrusions. Synopsis copy reads:

 ALIEN INTRUSION
Chilling tales of aliens chilling in homes uninvited are rampant across America. Those subjected to intrusions have been mocked, but the inconveniences they experience are real. These are their stories:

"One night I found an alien in my kitchen listening to psytrance off his phone. He waved at me, then took what I can only assume was 'alien molly' and began geeking out. He kept hugging the fridge and talking about peace and eugenics. It was horrible."

"My living room reeked of weed at 3:00 AM when I noticed an alien on my couch watching TV. He made me sit down and watch this infomercial for a new basketball that has an AM/FM radio inside. He kept falling asleep, but every time I reached for the remote, he'd say, 'hold on, I'm watching this, when his almond-shaped eyes were clearly closed. It's stupid, right? The radio inside the basketball would definitely break after dribbling the ball too much. He made me late for work the next day."

"An alien made fun of my apartment because it didn't have any good snacks inside of it. I had to dress him up in a disguise, then I drove him to three different convenience stores before he found a bag of shrimp chips that made him sick. He rolled around on the ground moaning in pain for six hours before he slowly disappeared over the course of an additional hour. While he was disappearing, his moaning had a reverb effect which made it worse. It absolutely sucked."

An instagram post by jordan_rand. The photo is an extreme angle of the account holder crouching beside her motorbike. The angle makes her helmeted head look massive, and the combination of her helmet, hair and shadows make the rest of her body difficult to see at first glance.

I think a lot about what a different world we'd have if the algorithms rewarded heartwarming stories instead of rage bait. As I recall, they DID find people respond to happy/inspiring content ("I saved this dog!") very strongly. Rage bait just performed a *fraction* better. And they made a choice

Oct 9th - Timecops Max Walker (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Sarah Fielding time travel to this date, from 2004, to investigate Senator Aaron McComb's illegal time travel exploits. 📽️📅 Timecop (1994)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Timecop" (1994): First, a close-up of a handheld device displaying the date "Sunday 10-09-1994" against a blurred green background. Second, a man with short hair stands outside, holding a device, with shrubs and another person partially visible; the subtitle reads "Sunday, October 9, 1994." Third, the same man is inside a phone booth, using a device, with trees in the background; the subtitle reads "I want all Jane Does admitted to local hospitals on October 9."

Oct 9th 1944 - Nazi's opened a portal to free Ogdru Jahad, but #Hellboy (Ron Perlman) got through. 📽️📅 Hellboy (2004)
4 Screenshots from the movie "Hellboy" (2004): First, a silhouette of soldiers in a dimly lit tunnel with a bright blue background and the subtitle "October 9th 1944. Scotland". Second, a cloaked figure stands in a rainy, stone courtyard with bright electric arcs illuminating the scene. Third, a soldier in a dark trench coat and cap leans against a wall in the rain, holding a sword. Fourth, a small red demon with horns appears curious atop a stone structure, reaching towards a person extending their hand.

Weaponizing Conspiracy Theory: The Dangers in Priming People for Armed Revolution
Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities. The words of the French Enlightenment philosopher Voltaire above have often, in recent years, been used to explain the madness of religious terrorism. By getting lost in a belief system, one can often lose their moral compass (or perhaps more correctly, have it ‘re-aligned’), and by submitting to that belief system, also surrender their agency. In the last couple of years, however, Voltaire’s statement has often come to […]
