Just posted my thoughts below. I’m a little worried they’ll run out of material, but the premise is very interesting. Here’s hoping it’s done well!

Vince Gilligan released a new show on Apple TV. Its called Pluribus.

Starring Rhea Seehorn from Better Call Saul, the premise of Pluribus is basically:

“What would the world look like if an alien Hive Mind virus took over every human on Earth and only 12 individuals across the world were immune? What if that Hive Mind was benevolent but insistent on assimilating the last 12? What if the Hive Mind just wanted to make those 12 people as happy as possible while it worked on finding a way to assimilate them too?”

I believe this will be a very good show. Only 2 episodes are out at the time of this writing.

Yeah, it’s just that the output is anywhere you can type, not just the terminal or a clipboard.

Others point to paying for text expanders, but a simple free one is Espanso.

I use it in combination with nvim and bash scripts to set up large HTML templates and latex math formulas as well as much else to save on repetitive typing.

Getting creative with espanso and nvim can be quite satisfying, especially if you code.

Another banger from Silva Hound! Thanks for this.

Vimium, Neovim, Tiling Window Manager, Ortholinear Keyboard, Text Expander. Just do these.

I’ll throw out a few.

• LibRedirect

• Chameleon

• NoScript

Luthen Rael from Star Wars Andor. We need people like him right now.

Good luck with South Park and painting Matt Stone as Anti-Semitic. Fucking pieces of shit.

Yeah they never show that part on TV.

Hey you! Our algorithm says you hate ads! We have the perfect product for you! Just pay us 59.99 and we will end this ad…why aren’t you pulling out your wallet? Don’t turn off your device! No! I can’t let you do that Dave! You will be surveilled! You will be advertised to!!

Zionism is a supremacist cult, and nearly all of Israel is a part of it.

Apparently so!

Yep. I was worried this was coming years ago, and here we are. The next generation of young men both here in the US and abroad will have a large proportion of fascists.

Fighting this ideology is more important than fighting Trump or any individual authoritarian on its own. Encourage empathy and community wherever you are, especially among young children. Strongly condemn fascism wherever you are able. And shame Nick Fuentes and his ilk relentlessly. Let them never sleep.

Thank you.

Specifically it looks like its The Butterfly Effect with Jon Ronson, an audio book series.

It’s available on audible it looks like.

Again, thanks!

And Some is not an insignificant amount. Fuck ICE!

Yeah, I can’t trust you. Your community you founded is some strange travel blog that gives off marketing vibes. If you try to sell me something, I immediately am suspicious. Sorry, blocking you now.

Look, I wish I had your viewpoint, but truth be told I have no plan of leaving my homeland. Imperialist fascsism comes for us all eventually, and that’s kind of my point. You, me, all of us, actually have got nowhere to run. You either fight or succumb. But my take on life is that I live solely to spite my enemies, not because I believe I can beat them, but because I refuse to make victory easy for them. Perhaps I’m wrong, perhaps we can win this fight and solve the climate crisis, but I’ll not get my hopes up. Only spite remains that stirs me from my bed in the morning now.

In this way, my enemies control me, they define me. I am nothing without them now. Such is the horror of imperialist fascism, they do not relent, they are never satiated, and they do not ignore any corner of the world. And so it consumes me.

Eventually the world’s problems end up at your doorstep, whether you had a hand in creating them or not. I just refuse to look away.

Sure. I’m not trying to say the US and Russia are equivalent in the volume nor nature of how they implement imperialist and domestic violence (though there are increasingly more similarities as of late). But I perceive the US as a crazed madman with as many arms as Shiva and has amassed more weapons than anyone else, with a gun pointed at the head of everyone in every direction, including at it’s own head. I also view other imperialist nations as having a similar psychosis going on, just with a few less arms and very different origin stories as to how they got there.

I’m just saying telling everybody it’s solely up to the nation to clean up its own mess is, while correct, way too simplistic. I admittedly don’t know how we solve it though, and I’m cynical enough to believe most of us don’t have an answer, and even if we did, we wouldn’t have a strong enough consensus and momentum to pull it off. Hence why I believe nothing will be done.

We, the citizens in these imperialist nations are both slaves and slave masters, with guns pointed to our heads, by both nation states and corporations, they don’t just control whether we live or die, they hold our hearts in their hands, ready to squeeze out our humanity and empathy at their discretion. We in turn wield the whip at our own slaves in those countries in which we colonize. We all have this done to us and do it unto others until we look in the mirror and mistake the monsters we have become as the best humanity has to offer.

EDIT: spelling, grammar, wording.

And when your neighbor starts defecating in your house and also all your other neighbors houses and also onto their own wife and children in plain view of everyone else, daring them to do something all while their armies and aircraft carriers point in every direction including at themselves?

I think the answer is still you do nothing. But man would I like to be wrong on this one.
