...the other thing was how the trees would weep this ultra fine mist of sap constantly and how a car I had parked under them eventually got so coated and crusted it looked like it was in an ice storm, and the doors were stuck shut. Luckily it was super water soluble so you could hose it off though 😅

I rented a house that had (actually I can't remember if they were walnut or pecan trees now) these trees and I still vividly remember how the juice from the pods/coverings was this bright reddish orange that would permanently stain your skin, then needing to just grow out and fall away with the skin

There was a while there when I would sit down with a few fat chunks of the sharpest cheddar I could find, a bowl of Spanish green olives, and a bowl of tamari roasted almonds. One of the most satisfying meals ever. 😋🤤 A bit different from what you said, but still in the same spirit I think 🤘😊

We don’t even understand human consciousness, how could anyone understand the potential consciousness of the universe? 🤷‍♂️😄 (Oh, and I’m not knocking anyone who believes, unless they use that belief as an excuse to harm others, that sucks 🫤)

My favorite thing about hardcore atheists, specifically the ones who claim to be atheists because of intelligence and scientific rigor, is that the only truly scientific take on religion is agnosticism. (Easy for me to say as an agnostic 😅)

The original “prompt engineers”. Understanding how to compile a proper boolean search was like being a god of information a couple decades (ish) ago. Now I’m lucky if it gets me a couple decent results in the first page or two of “legitimate interest” ad partners. 🤷‍♂️🫤🙄

Makes me wonder if it would be the same the other way around 🤔 Like if you donated platelets at the beginning of the month would your blood levels be such that you wouldn’t be able to donate blood? Enquiring minds… Oh! And hell yeah blood donation! 🤘😄 Been a few years for me, probably time I go

I hope Villeneuve will make his long-planned Rendezvous with Rama after Dune 3 and Bond. I wish someone would produce an adaptation of Tau Zero. Or an expensive space train opera like The Commonwealth Saga.

Rampant capitalism/capitalists is/are like an aneurism burst and bleeding internally. Sure the lifeblood of the organism is technically still inside it, but it's still going to die because that lifeblood isn't flowing through it. This is our economy across the globe, dying from a parasitic aneurism.

The problem here is all of these people know they're in a race against the clock to get all of this done before the tide turns. And by "all of this," I basically mean the destruction of anything that could criticize the post-Constitutional technofeudalist society they're hastily trying to stand up.

Fixed it...
An old Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson which originally showed a bunch of businessmen in suits packed into a sardine can with someone holding a large butter knife pulling one out and making a sandwich out of them, with one of them already face down on a large slice of bread next to his briefcase and glasses, and the caption "Business lunch". This version has been generatively upscaled to reduce blurriness, adding money from another Larson cartoon poking out of the briefcase seams, colorizing the previously black ties to red and blue ties, and the caption has being changed to "Eat the Rich" were all done with good old photoshopping. "-ish" has also been added just to the right of the original artist's signature in the upper right to indicate that it has been modified from the original, but to still credit Larson as the artist of the original cartoon.

Definitely my thoughts as well, like I’m glad they declined Hegseth’s demands for killbots, but I’m also part of a class action lawsuit where they paid a 1.5B settlement for stealing millions of books worth of IP right as they announced a 13B funding round that brought their valuation to 183B… 🙄

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
I definitely agree with this, if he wants to stay out of the limelight he should be able to. I also saw that I did say we need more POC to step up, poor choice of words. I just think it would be better if we had more POC representation and voices in our leadership. His seems like a great one imho.

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
But this man doesn't seem to be trying to hide to me, I'm sure lots of folks know him in LA. This just seems like the moment he makes himself known, the beginning. Nobody should doxx and force him into a public role, it'd be great if folks opened up resources and support to him if he wants it though

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
To be fair I said that white people need to step up in a white supremacist system to open the way for POC to take the roles they should have had access to all along. We do need to stop standing around waiting, & the job isn't suited to anyone who doesn't want it so pushing him into it is a bad idea

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
But if he's got it in him to run, then we really need voices like his speaking truth to power. As many as we can get.

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
It's less "Hey Marshawn, it's YOUR responsibility to fix all this." and more "Hey Marshawn, here's that place at the table you should have had access to all along." So I agree, don't doxx him, if this is just his 15 minutes of fame moment then this is plenty and I appreciate it.

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
I mean, yes, it's going to take white men to step up in a white supremacist, patriarchal power system to get the ball rolling. But the end game is clearing the barriers for black men and women as well as people from all the other underrepresented groups to take their place at the table as well.

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
I agree, he doesn't owe us, and we do definitely owe him for putting such a powerful statement out there. But my take on it is, Yes, we do need him and any other POC to step up and be the leaders of a better America. Otherwise it's what? "White Saviors"?

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
Who’s doing nothing? Most folks are doing what they can. This man has a voice, and he’s literally testifying on gerrymandering that’s keeping black men and women out of office. So yes, get him a campaign manager if he’s got it in him to run for office. AND let’s do all the things you said as well.

Chris DeVere @dercribben.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
No. Joke. I hope this clip goes viral and I hope that this testimony wasn’t just his 15 minutes of fame moment. If he has the follow through and wherewithal for local, state, or even congressional office, this is exactly the kind of voice we need to pave the way for a better future for everybody.

That last bit is massively important. It’s not enough to defeat these people in the elections, we’re also going to need to strip every single penny of the ill gotten profits they got while this corrupt administration has been in power.
