Sometimes I consider I am a completely disembodied voice to you, essentially an avatar who cannot be known.
It is weird how easily people accept this. Except people of empire have always been under forces they will never witness the person behind, nor hear them speak. The system is the trumpet.

In a way, reality has become much more like a horror movie lately. Everyone is on edge, no one really knows how things are going to go in the future and of course, the werewolves.

If folks haven't read it, I recommend @annaleen.bsky.social's Stories are Weapons, which is unfortunately more and more relevant during this administration. When I started it, I thought, "yeah yeah, I know this." But each chapter was 🤯; well researched analysis of these tactics, recent & historical.

Algorithmic face scans are “dangerous, whether used to estimate our age, our name, or other demographics,” EFF’s Adam Schwartz told @PCMag.com. EFF favors “a ban on government use of this technology, and strict regulation… for corporate use.” www.pcmag.com/explainers/...

Pauline Hanson skipped parliament this week to speak at a $25,000-a-head conservative conference at Donald Trump’s luxury resort in Florida, where she was pictured alongside Gina Rinehart, Australia’s richest woman.
The One Nation leader, who resided at Mar-a-Lago ahead of her address at the multi-day event run by the Conservative Political Action Conference, lambasted both major parties in Australia during the speech while praising the US administration for deporting immigrants, bombing drug cartel boats and supercharging mining projects.

Sounds like eldritch horror to me... but this is real. friend of mine is in recovery right now from full-on AI psychosis, and is quietly struggling with it. This shit isn't good for us.
We gazed into maw of a terrible machine repeating back to us our own language in a close proximal of genuinity, and it drove some of us fucking insane – that it could replace our lover, our work, ourselves in whole. We would pay it to displace us. Not another. Our own world, internal.
Whole Madness.
Whole Madness.

Me: comic-book villains are not very believable
*2024 happens*
Me: okay, fine. But no one believes that a hero will dress up as an animal like a bat or a spider or a, I dunno, a frog, and face down the bad guys.
