A Must See Video

Everyone MUST see this video about why Trump operates the way he does; and thus condemn everyone that kneels to him or allies with him all the more

American Exceptionalism - Exceptional Hubris and Stupidity

 I did a podcast episode on the Maginot Line, but the thumbnail you need to know is that the phrase, "Too busy fighting the last war" comes from that among other things.   The Democrats believe that the Republicans screwing up and the next cycle falling to them explains why donors and centrists are demanding total inaction.   Schumer totally screwed up and the Schumer democrats are gaslighting everyone into believing he meant to do that.   

So I posted this link on Bluesky about how the Republicans are now taking control of the voting apparatus.   And what happened? A Schumer Democrat reported it as 'content warning' and Bluesky slaps a 'content warning label on it.'  Let me repeat that, a Schumer Democrat is so concerned about doing nothing that they put a content label on me saying that Republicans have taken our democracy, and so they reap what they sew.

Not only is Trump following the EXACT playbook for how Edrogan and Urban took over their democracies; but the democrats are focused on the old way of doing things to the point that any attempt to bypass them and any attempt to resist in an effective fashion will be coopted by those who want to control speech for a certain theocracy that likes having both sides bought and paid for.   They initiated the TikTok ban until TikTok complied; they have told the democrats to sit down and shut up; and the democrats are doing just that.

Democrat legislators in Colorado could have kept an unflattering picture of Trump up, but the executive committee cooperated with Republicans who complained and took it down.  The entirely democratic legislature of Delaware is so afraid of Musk donations that they are unilateratelly passing a bill to weaken the corporate court and give Elon Musk his money back.   Time and again, Democrats are not only not effectively resisting, but surrounding and thats because they think they deserve another shot at power.  And not only that, they actively add anyone attempting to fight back to lists that shut up resistors.  Bluesky is run by a techbro company and despite the fact that it is slightly better than old twitter; its basically the same thing and they silenced progressives on a regular basis.

Right now, you want to do something to help resist because when things get bad, they are going to get VERY bad; but you should be preparing for the worst.   This country is going to become occupied and every institution will fall.   If you are going to break the law or even TALK about breaking the law, the Schumer Centrist democrats will not only support you but cheer along with the Republicans at your imprisonment and torture without due process on El Salvador.

I have LITERALLY seen them do it on some online forums.

So accept the fact that the people who stole your birthright will never pay for their crimes in your lifetime unless you commit to making sure all these people are documented for their collaboration and crimes against Democracy.  The most effective thing you can do now is document their crimes.  Take screenshots of Schumer dems attacking progressives or attempts to resist.  Take screenshots of your MAGA friends and relatives cheering the rape and torture of liberals or live fire from the military into protesters.

We are doomed with the Schumer Democrats in charge of the resistance; and we will not get another election to remove them.  So document their crimes.  Document their actions such that if we ever do get a chance; and I won't lie, its a remote chance; that the people actively working to stop us from making things better can be hold to account at a later date.

Make them accountable for their actions; as they intend to make us 'accountable' for trying to keep our freedom and democracy so that their favorite theocracy can continue to do whatever it wants.

List of Shame (updated until he is gone)

 MLB - dei by executitve order

Colombia University - 400 million for masks

Harvard University - Fired professors to please the regime for the theocracy

Apple and Ghoulgul - Gulf of America

Paul Weiss Law Firm, Willkie Farr & Gallagher- Extorted for free Legal Services

American Car Companies - Didnt raise prices after tariffs after Trump threatened them

White House Correspondents Dinner - Didnt have an edgy comedian for fear it would offend the Leader

The Whig Moment - Time for a New Third Party

 For years, I have argued that third parties were stupid in the United States because of Divurger's law.  This law proves mathematically, that people are going to choose two parties in our system.  It is why even Teddy Roosevelt couldn't do it.  What I do know is that the last time we had a meaningful new party was when one of the two national parties; the whigs, split in two over acceptance or rejection of disgusting southern slavery.

The republicans may be fractious but the democrats are about to have a major split.  The bought, corrupt and disgusting democratic leadership is very split from the base that wants them to fight trump and the blue who tribal loyalists who hate America and only care about the legislative advantages Schumer gives their favorite international cause.   If the democrats in the senate don't depose Schumer, then the party is ripe to split.  It will only take a leader who can rally people against the democrats and none of the bluewhos who are loyal to Vichy democrats will ever be allowed into public office again; just like the Republicans.

It can happen, and now, it looks like it will.

[Tech] AI Replacing CEO's

 Right now, CEO's lack empathy, lack brand awareness and are brazenly conspiring to defraud and depose the democratic government of the United States of America.   I think, rather than even using the bleeding edge of Chat GPT, I'd like to see Elon Musk replaced with an Atari 2600.  We'd have a group of randomly picked human judges and also blindly judge the performance of the company under Captain Ketamine and then again under an Atari 2600 using repurposed code from the game ET to randomly generate numbers and plug them into a road map and spreadsheet, with a board composed of tailored LLM's to act more efficient than the current C-suite empty suits letting Elon run their company into the ground.

I'm serious.  This isn't that expensive; someone run a kickstarter for around 50-100K, and set up a peer tube, tiktok and YouTube channel (you have to use the open source version so the techbros can't cover it up.)  Given the performance of the Ketamine Chainsaw drug lord edge lord stumbling about like an unlucky Mr Magoo clapped and cheered by the sycophants of Nero's court wouldn't be that hard to beat.   An Atari 2600 can be programmed with basic business principals with a really cute face like the one on the Apple 2e at Showbiz Pizza with the voice synthesizer.  

It would also smell considerably less.

Let's do it.  Let's see if Elon's pathetic Tesla performance can be beaten by an Atari 2600.  Frankly, I'm thinking we let his son, the one who called Trump a fake president and an etch a sketch could do better.  

Anyone?  Anyone? Bueller?  Bueller?

Applied Baileyism - Printers that Fucking Work

 Printers have been a nightmare in this country for quite some time.   They are, frankly, dicks.  Among the shitty things they do, is to make printers that don't work, and they also make it impossible for third party manufacturers to make ink.  This have been going on for 30 years and they started the enshittification trend we have seen in tech again and again.   Capitalism was supposed to compensate, but Brother, the one 'good' manufacturer in printers now appears to be doing the same thing (they deny it but I mean, we're talking a tech bro company here; they are almost all satanic.)  I have never seen anyone say this, but I do have to wonder if one of the reasons they have a captive audience is the federal government requiring them to put a microscopic strip in any prints they make to track them.  After all, if the FBI wants a fucking backdoor in my encryption because they can't actually do their jobs the normal way, I can see why they would create a captive satanic market of printers that don't work.

Anywho this is meant to be a positive series, but it starts with a pretty awful situation.  You can't get a decent printer in this country.  So, here's the thing.  There is no government monopoly on printers even if the government is making it hard to make them.  So why not have a B corp that had a motivation besides profit to make them?  Hell, why not set up a not for profit to make profits to benefit humanity at cost.  I mean seriously, it might even take several million dollars but if a bunch of private citizens came together to build Printers That Work like the Bailey Building and Loan, then you might actually you know, have printers that work.

Google, back when it wasn't run by Shit Sundar Puchai, made Google Fiber to force the damn cable companies and phone companies to modernize their infrastructure.  They only put it in a few parts of the country, but it scared the slothful wasteful companies to actually clean up their act.  If someone set up a go fund me model with a slightly more expensive printer but one that sold at cost ink cartidges people would still go to that model in spades; because when you buy HP or any other American Printer you buy Shit in a Box.

In the United States, Late Stage Capitalism, has broken so many things, that there are tons of opportunities like this.   You can't build a new Google overnight but all the enshittified companies have primed themselves to be replaced by a B-corp or Not for Profit competitor because capitalism does not work, especially when you run out of other people's money to pay for it.

[Poem] Privatization Nightmare

He burn the forest

He blinds our watch for Hurricanes

Faith in our high road leaders is pointless

They are in no hurry to commit blooshed

There are no leaders

Able get millions in the streets

Or the ones that could

Are too busy arguing with bribed blood money bigots

As if there will ever be a free election again

The only hope is now

While we are in step 7

And they are on step 25

They will take every interaction you ever have 

With the gubbamint

And privatize it

And make you a permanent slave serf

With no wealth

And no hope

And their cult followers

Will cheer the whole way

I for one

Would rather die

Than be a slave

But America

Isnt the home of the free and brave

But the fat lazy and wimpy
