If you go back far enough in history, you'll find that all peoples were once
enslaved.
My people, the people I am of, and that I am sworn to, will not be slaves
again. In time, there will be no more slaves, not in the fields, not in the
sweatshops, not in the grocery store.
We will not go back. We will take no steps backward. We move forward.

I personally think that it's better to act before the liberals have a chance to
hand power over to the fascists.
when? well, that depends. Are you part of a large and massive organization that
accomplishes great and beautiful things with incredible efficiency... but
rather slowly? Then yeah get working. I'm sure you already are.
Are you just a person, like me? Then go do things that don't raise the
temperature too much, but make you feel more confident and inspire those around
you.
Like, bricks at cop cars is one way to go, but you're probably gonna get
arrested. And then you're useless when we need you.
BUT if you meet with your friends and make plans for where to go, what to
bring, who to know, and what to sing (if you're the musical types) then great!
Go do that.
If you're reading this and thinking "I'm not gonna do that, I have a plan
that's so much better" then yeah do that instead. I don't mind. Just... don't
hurt innocent (ignorant) people, because if you do then you are my foe.

It's important to maintain a healthy sense of skepticism.
I mean, if George Washington himself suddenly appeared and said "Like King
Arthur riding forth from the mists of Avalon, I have returned to ensure the
revolution must be won" then perhaps we should assume he's just a really good
actor. Unless he's y'know still competent at military command, even though his
knowledge of past encounters doesn't quite transfer to our new strange reality.
He'd probably be a pretty great organizer though. We all have our strengths.

Democracy only works if the losing side consents to being governed by the
winner.
This election, neither side will consent. Therefore, this election does not
matter.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Waiting until November to do... anything at all is not a great plan.
If you don't know what to do, spend time in a park. At the mall. With your
family.
This weekend, they'll be ready for us. But by then, there'll be more of us.
Next week, we will no longer be slaves.
If your job won't let you strike in the park for a week, then they do not want
you.
Embrace radical change.

Nobody will tell you what to do, at least not until you ask. Be where they can
see you, and you'll be given a task. If you can do it, say "BRB" - one moment,
let me handle that for you.
If you can't, say "good luck", and they'll find someone else who can.
It's okay to pass a task off - if someone says "Here's what I need, gotta go"
then you say "sure, yeah, I'll get someone on it" - then, go find someone to do
it.

I disagree. What if we did not learn to count numerically, but instead viewed
all values as percentages between 0 and 1? Essentially, as a magnitude between
empty and full.
That would radically redefine our mathematics, and it's just one simple change,
one tweak, and suddenly negative numbers are just out of reach.

There's a difference between downtime and freetime. Freetime should be spent
toward something you care about, downtime is time spent recovering from the
things you don't.
I think in a better world, we'd only have freetime. Perhaps then we wouldn't
need to feel so down in our time.
I will use my freetime to build a world where we live as we define, that is my

Hello kids, would you like to do some graffiti?
This kind is hard to take down. You can say all kinds of things, like your
feelings about fascism or palestine or indigenous land back movements
but most people have already read that kind of thing, and they know where they
stand.
Much better, I find, to talk about things that are more "of the times" - like,
for example, how monarchy in America is on the rise.
Are you emotionally prepared for the feeling of swearing allegiance to a
person, rather than a flag? I sure am looking forward to how we express these
feelings!
Plus, genocide in palestine is old news to liberals, the only people who care
that you share. But genocide here, in America, on our homeless, vagrants, and
migrants? That's relatively new, that might get a glance or two.
Wheatpasting is harder to take down than post-its or spraypaint. But post-its
and spraypaint are quicker to apply, so... use your best judgement. Be artistic!

Just woke up from a short nap.
I had a dream. I was riding on the subway, or maybe a light rail train, and
inbetween stops a lady knocked on the window to be let in.
The train was stopped for some reason, perhaps to let another one through, so
all it would have taken was to open the door.
I pushed the button. I talked to the operator. He wouldn't open the door.
The train started moving, and the woman started pleading. She ran alongside it
as long as her elderly legs could carry her, but then there was another train
behind her.
I saw her disappear between two and when mine stopped at the next legally
designated spot, her little dog was sitting there, waiting for me, under a
blanket made of her shawl. It was a dream, after all, and there were two more
there comforting her. for the loss of her friend.
He could have opened the door. They wouldn't let him.

then nothing else matters. We will figure out the specifics later. They are

Last Words of a Shooting Star by Mitski (2014)
Lyrics:
All of this turbulence wasn't forecasted
Apologies from the intercom
And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
They'll think of me kindly
When they come for my things
They'll never know how I'd stared at the dark in that room
With no thoughts
Like a blood-sniffing shark
And while my dreams made music in the night
Carefully
I was going to live
You wouldn't leave till we loved in the morning
You'd learned from movies how love ought to be
And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes
But I know through mine you were
Looking in yours
And did you know the liberty bell is a replica
Silently housed in its original walls
And while its dreams played music in the night
Quietly
It was told to believe
I always wanted to die clean and pretty
But I'd be too busy on working days
So I am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted
I couldn't have changed anyways
I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
Goodbye

I am a patriot, through and through. What does that mean, to you? To me, it
means I think of the streams - the mountains, the trees. I love the dirt
beneath my feet, from sea to shining sea.
We are a nation of all peoples. Everyone here was once from somewhere else, and
that includes those who were thrust somewhere else by genocide - into tiny
patches of dirt with no minerals, no farmland, no bountiful rivers, no towering
pillars of rock.
Our flag is the flag of genocide. But it is also the flag of liberty, justice,
and freedom for all
(most)
We changed our flag once before. It made us stronger. We can change it again.
Perhaps it will make us kinder.

The best smokescreen I can think of is to be true to your heart, to be weak, to
be vulnerable. Then you get put on the "worry about later" list, and not the

I never lie. When convinced I am wrong, I change my mind. I am always
listening, always ready to hear where I'm flawed. I do my best every day, and

All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.
Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
free, they will respect the rights of others.
These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
those who would use them to harm others.
To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.

I made two friends, and I let a stranded stranger crash on my couch. I figure
if I can trust someone I don't know enough for, say, a one-night-stand, then
why not? don't worry, I used my best judgement. make sure you do, too.
also I got a knife under my pillow. helps a bit.
before the fireworks show, I saw some people under a bridge. I was given a
water-bottle and a shrimp kebab, and it was delicious! things I overheard:
"no I haven't heard of that, but I'd like to know more"
... actually that's it, I didn't spend much time there because I had places to
be. but from what I saw, that is exactly what we need. for now.

if I had to take a lesson from this, it'd be that it's better to host somewhere
else and be boosted by someone on the larger, sleepy servers. it's not their
fault they didn't set an alarm, so they have no way to know what time it is.
plus for some reason they get upset if you wake them up when you're roommates?
downside is, boosts only show up for followers, right? meaning you'll only be
seen if you want to be seen, which means you gotta be roommates if you wanna be
seen when they don't want to see. tricky tricky...

I know. Keep in mind, though, that the propagandic writing-on-the-wall cuts
both ways. There are many more of us, than of them.
your first duty is to stay alive. plus, what you can do, you can do from
anywhere, so long as the internet remains true. alas, has it ever been? but
still it's up to you, what to do. no matter where you are, you'll find friends
who will need your heart, your words, your kindness, and whatever other aid you
may give.
I'm trans and relatively healthy and strong. in my legs at least. so my choice
is a bit different than yours, mine becomes "die now, that others might live or
die later, that others might die before me" and frankly that's not a choice at
all.

hehe yeah
if you've played World of Warcraft, this one might seem more doable. All the
assets are already there!
https://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/design/wow-server.txt
also, you can't sell it because it's other people's assets, but, like, who
cares right? The serverside code is already built and open-source, the only
thing that is proprietary is the art assets and the client. And the IP I guess.

if you live in a city, probably not. They put them in fake buildings with

in addition, it should mirror your posts and such to a larger instance which

why not let in all the immigrants and document them all and disperse them to
each state equally? then, pay for them to visit the other states until they
find one they like. they can put themselves on a transfer list and swap places
with someone else.
then, after a period of a year or three or five or however many, they can
become citizens automatically. As long as they don't commit any serious crimes
- that would reset their "citizenship timer", and if it's severe enough or
enough of a pattern, they could be deported to whichever country they'd like.
ideally matched with support like education to teach them english and how to
contribute to society, and community connections with regularly scheduled
events so they can make friends.

my mother would knit square wash-cloths with coarse yarn. My memories hold
plenty of colorful patches of knit fabric. they work well as a sponge
replacement because you can throw them in the wash instead of the trash. plus
they're good practice for people learning to knit, or practicing a new pattern,
or switching colors, or whatever interesting thing you're learning.
if I remember correctly, the kind that worked best felt "knotty" with holes in
the middle. I don't know how she made them but a knitter might be able to tell
you.
it's a sponge-replacement, not a brush. so, not what you asked for, but related.

picture of a notebook page. there is a diagram illustrating a passive energy
plant that utilizes concave mirrors to focus sunlight onto a copper basin which
has water in it.
the water boils from the heat and rises upward, spinning a turbine in order to
charge batteries or generate power for other uses.
every night, the left-over sediments must be brushed from the basin, for if
they build up they will not conduct heat from the copper as well.
can also be used to distill water in a pinch, however keep in mind that
distilled water is unsafe to drink because your body will be depleted of
essential mineral salts. however it can purify the water in order to remove
toxic heavy metals or plastic pollution, and minerals can be added in later.

alt text:
picture of a notebook page illustrating a carbon-neutral air conditioning
system.
the system is primarily comprised of two deep holes (as deep as a well) with a
metal pipe around the walls in order to keep water out.
these holes are connected at the bottom, forming a "U" shape. At the top, there
are two fans, one at the entrance and one at the exit, pushing hot air in and
pulling cold air out.
if this system is insufficient to cool the air (perhaps if a deep enough depth
cannot be reached) then lateral pipes can be added which circulate air for a
longer period of time, and cause the hot air which rises to be circulated
longer than the cold air which sinks.
it can only get as cold as the bowels of the earth will allow, but that's
plenty cold enough for human comfort. no matter how hot the air gets, if the
pipes are long enough they will reach the coldest temperature possible, however
that temperature is never going to be so cold as to freeze water, for example.

in peacetime, one may live as they define. they can be kooky and precious and
beautiful and kind. sometimes, though, that opportunity is taken away, and
suddenly life fades from view and all you are left with is perfect clarity.
I'd like to clarify why I feel the way I do about the situation at hand.
there are three reasons, so I think I'll put them in five posts, including this
one.

the first reason I feel the way I do is because the supreme court recently made
a decision that made it constitutional for people to be jailed or fined for
sleeping in public.
homeless people, by definition, have no place to (reliably) go but public
spaces.
therefore, by existing in their environment, they are criminals.
a criminalized people is genocide.
I cannot respect the legitimacy of a legal system that would condone genocide.

the second reason is that the supreme court recently repealed the Chevron
doctrine, meaning experts and specialists in government positions are now
unable to perform their jobs unless they are loyal to the party in charge.
this is an extreme form of authoritarianism unheard of outside of
dictatorships. It is tyranny, to demand allegiance in order for the government
to function.
if the experts are purged, the decisions made by the systems they once upheld
will no longer necessarily be tied to reality. this is one of the primary
reasons why the Soviet Union fell into decay, and I will not tolerate that flaw
to be introduced into our domain.

the third reason is that I am a patriot, and the supreme court recently gave
the president legal immunity. The president has always been a citizen first,
for the government is of the people. However, with legal immunity, they would
be considered closer to a king than a citizen.
they would dismantle our democracy and institute a de-facto monarchy. This is
unacceptable here.

The supreme court may have made these three decisions, but they did so at the
behest of capital. Perhaps not directly, but I do believe in the future tomes
will be written about how and why we ended up here. Perhaps they are already
being written.
I will not stand idly by any longer while our country decays. I will not
tolerate the corruption, the pollution, the intentional division, and the
fanned flames of hatred.
The only thing on my mind right now is the extinction of fascism, the
replacement of capitalism, and the freedom of all those enslaved.

ethical use-case for LLMs: guessing string-based keys for a key:value pair
dictionary.
hallucinations are okay and encouraged because they're probably statistically
related to what you're trying to guess.
run it in a loop, each time adding to an array of strings that you've tried.
use that array in the prompt saying something like "hey, can u guess the
related word? it's similar to this: [initial word] and it isn't one of these:
[array of strings you've tried]"
and yes this is a solution looking for a problem but I try to be as charitable
as possible. you could use a lightning-fast model (read: low energy
requirement, therefore ethical) because it's just guessing related words.

Oregon is a lovely and beautiful place, however it is currently home to an
invasive plant species called "Blackberries" - these plants produce delicious
fruit that can be eaten during a month or three of the year, typically July to
September (according to google) however, they come with a catch.
they're covered in sharp, prickly thorns!
these briars make travelling cross-country almost impossible. They snag
clothing and pierce through skin and thin gloves. If you're going to attempt
such a thing, make sure you bring a machete, and make sure you cover your
tracks after passing through an open space and re-entering the brush.
if you can't afford / fit a machete, which is awfully specific I know, at least
bring some scissor snips and thiccc gloves.

one perk, however, is as long as you cover your entrances, you can make paths
through the wilderness with small circular homes. like ants, building tunnels
and chambers in an ant-hill, but on the 2 dimension plane that is the surface
of the earth.
(I guess you could dig tunnels too but that's pretty high effort)
you'll be able to hear when someone is coming from a long way away because
they'll constantly be cursing from the pain. Do, however, note that fire is a
danger, and they can smoke you out with a single entrance, so make sure you
have at least two which lead to separate sides of the place you're in.

I am sure that each and every one of the communist political theories are more
developed, well rounded, and applicable to many different situations.
however, I find that they often require an expert to implement. Hence why I set
out to create a system that could be utilized by civilians in a war-time
economy to accomplish the goals of getting everyone enough food to eat.
I don't anticipate Algorism to remain permanent, but I do think that if you try
to overhaul our systems and institutions with something that requires a
master's degree to understand the nuances of (or a lot of dedicated reading)
then people will not consent.
We must replace capitalism. People like the concept of capitalism for it's
simplicity, for to them its just "work a job, get dollars, go spend dollars,
get stuff"
That's pretty darn easy. But capitalism is an evil beast, and power accretes
power.
So, capitalism must be replaced with something simple which abolishes power.
After the war, it can be replaced.

If you're building a long-term residence in a place that gets cold, consider
building a Rocket Mass Heater.
It is highly efficient and it allows for long-term storage of heat energy in
the mass of the home.
In addition, it provides a hot stove surface which can be used for boiling
water or other cooking tasks which do not require a precise temperature.
It is highly efficient as the smoke from the flames are sucked out of the
living space and remain inside the barrel of the heater, where they are slowly
consumed. there is very little exhaust, but what is there is CO2 which is
deadly to breathe, so caution must be taken (as with any fire-based heating
option)

it's okay. If I were to direct something to be more proactive, my words
probably wouldn't stick with it. that kind of thing can't be hardwired, it
needs to be built up through repetitious application of something's mechanics.
perhaps martial arts, focused on defence? engaging with a foe in a productive
bout of playful competition is one of the best ways to learn, and knowing when
to strike seems similar to me to overcoming situational paralysis.
Flaws can be overcome, when upgrading robots (or a doll applying improvements
to itself) you often don't need to add additional hardware or even install new
firmware. Skills such as these can be built up in software with experience.

if you have difficulties with acne, try changing your pillow-case once a week.
in addition, you should probably ditch all the cleansers and products. your
face isn't dirty if you wash it with water.
if you use hot water, be sure to apply face lotion after drying off. otherwise,
your body will over-produce oil in order to protect your skin and it'll give
the acne a perfect environment to grow in.
cool or cold water doesn't need lotion as much.
