Anyways, uh, fuck this shit, don't use genAI, and support small projects trying to be genuinely collaborative, rather than this awful tech built with a philosophy of other people's consent & privacy not mattering.

The Phantom Tollbooth Quotes @phantomtollbot.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
"If you only do the easy and useless jobs, you'll never have to worry about the important ones which are so difficult. You just won't have the time. For there's always something to do to keep you from what you really should be doing,”
The Terrible Trivium, demon of petty tasks and worthless jobs, ogre of wasted effort, and monster of habit.

He’s an elegant man dressed in a full suit, with a pocket square and a flower in his lapel, a bowler hat, shiny shoes, clean nails, and no face.

Just once I'd be tickled pink to see a moderate in White people's comments like "look, maybe you don't understand or get why trans people in school sports is a big deal, but if we want Democrats in control of the Senate, you supporting a pro-trans candidate may be the only way to get the votes!"

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Organizing creates social costs for being a crank: you have to show up, persuade people, and keep working with them. Posting lets the loudest person treat escalation as a substitute for all three.

I've been coding a personal project for two years now. It's good work and I hope it'll help people. But in that two years AI has rendered my skills largely superfluous, and yeah. It doesn't really feel like an accomplishment anymore.

Generals of Spiritual Warfare 91
This interweaving of prayer, prophecy, the 10/40 Window, and strategic-level spiritual warfare culminared in what has to be one of the strangest episodes of 1990s evangelical history. One of the prophets and coordinators in the Strategic Prayer Network, Ana Mendez, who served as the regional coordinator for Southern Mexico, became convinced while praying for the 10/40 Window that there was a territorial spirit named the Queen of Heaven who had established a spiritual stronghold on "the highest of high places, Mt. Everest."2 She consulted with Wagner, Jacobs, and other prayer coordinators, and they decided to initiate a strategic-level spiritual warfare expedition to dethrone the Queen of Heaven and dislodge her from her perch over the 10/40 Window. They called it Operation Ice Castle.
So in September 1997, Wagner helped organize a team of twenty-six prophetic intercessors and spiritual warriors from Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, the United States, and Vietnam to travel to Nepal to be boots on the ground confronting the Queen of Heaven. Doris Wagner, who is very respected in these spiritual warfare circles, even traveled with the group.
Accompanying her was a promising young American spiritual warrior named Rebecca (Becca) Greenwood, who was only thirty years old at the time. Doris was suffering from severe arthritis, so she and Greenwood stayed at a hotel at thirteen thousand feet up the slopes, while the rest of the team ascended to twenty thousand feet to locate the spiritual castle of the Queen of Heaven.
They spent three weeks in Nepal, blowing shofars, prophesying, and interceding against the territorial sp…

I think something a fair number of people refuse to engage with is that American Jews have good reason to fear for their physical safety. Zionism is a morally and practically disastrous response to that, but the underlying concern is legitimate.
