Okay FB, this is some bullshit. "Violence and incitement" my ass. Clearly we've touched a nerve.

"Trump didn't invade the Republicans. They summoned him. They were what they had decided to be. … The rot isn't at the head; there is no head. The rot goes to the core." https://www.the-reframe.com/the-rot-goes-to-the-core/

@futurebird I believe that the definition of "inside" (in a plane) is that, given a point, if EVERY line drawn through the point intersects the circle exactly twice the point is "inside." But if even one line drawn through the point intersects the circle 0 or 1 times, the point is "outside."

@futurebird I believe that we, as thinking creatures, over-prioritize the value of thought. The complex instinctual behaviors of spiders, beavers, and pufferfish are beautiful, functional and valuable in themselves, without any need for an inner life.

@lilithsaintcrow @cstross My guess is that it's in the stock and bond markets. It's in the same place that the billions that vanished in the subprime crisis or the tech bubble were before they were destroyed.

@lilithsaintcrow @cstross They're as real as money ever is. If you own those stocks and bonds, you can sell them or use them as loan collateral and buy real stuff. But since the demise of the gold standard, money has an imaginary component (bookkeeping in complex numbers?) and is subject to evaporation in a way it wasn't centuries ago. When the stock market crashes, (some of) those dollars don't go elsewhere, they are GONE.

There's more happening in the area of public protest and noncooperation than you might know. Noncooperation (don't buy, don't help, don't know) can be a quiet but effective form of protest. https://wagingnonviolence.org/2025/03/resistance-alive-well-us/

They "flood the zone" with an onslaught of bullshit to keep us off balance. The trick is to recognize that this means they are spread thin. Any pushback at all (e.g. CPB saying "no, you can't just order us to defund NPR") can stop a given action in its tracks. So push back!

The Trade War Isn’t Over. "Many pundits and reporters… have been sounding the all clear on Trump’s tariffs, when the reality is that all we’ve seen is a modest retreat from complete, destructive insanity to seriously harmful madness." https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-trade-war-isnt-over

Rowling, like Musk, has destroyed a beloved institution (in her case, one she created) and is now using her billions to fund right-wing causes. Don't do anything that earns her any money. https://www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowling-anti-trans-organization

@futurebird I've done it several times and writing it in the order that it will be read in worked for me, though it might not for every writer and every project. I note that I prefer to read series in publication order rather than internal chronological order, because that's the order the beats were designed to hit and the info to be revealed. If you do write out of order you will have to revise carefully for pacing/build and info reveals.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is on FIRE. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article314306709.html
