Screen shot text: The effect of using caneirf vines drummed on the great Kl'aarf tree to communicate great distance was well known. tCounch studied this effect extensively at the University atpp of the forest canopy. It was also known, to a lesser degree, that these caneirf vines could absorb many types of sounds and the great kl'aarf would act as speakers. tCounch was going to prove this when the orchestra of trees would play their mournful tune of the end of the season. The wind whipped up and the music began. A slow dirge at first, then sweeping with deep booms and emotional rustles. The vines of the equatorial forest relayed the sounds of the

Gotta keep that propaganda rolling even when detaining children.
Screen shot text: "During a targeted enforcement operation, two illegal aliens fled from the vehicle on foot. The suspected target of the operation escaped, and ICE briefly detained a 16-year-old Brazilian illegal alien to determine his identity and if he was a potential safety threat, as is routine for all arrests," McLaughlin said. With ‘Brazilian illegal immigrant’ highlighted

The president is getting what he wanted when he dodged insurrection and treason charges. Scare DC so they won’t fight. Me? I have no security. I am a blue dot in a very red state. I have nowhere to hide.

You mean a response like this dude, after a Wisconsin politician and her family were assassinated? This man is a sitting senator, not some rando on social media. Spare me your outrage.

While that guy tries to institute de facto martial law, realize what the rural US thinks. I have a neighbor who proudly tells me he has never been in a city. Hell we live less than 100 miles from SLC and the Wasatch Front, and even that scares him. He isn’t unusual.

Yes, Nemik’s manifesto from Andor. Here is the whole thing.
Screenshot text; Manifesto - by Nemik There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this, Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empires's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try.

Screen shot from Work In Progress; The girl brought the staff to Babette. Her deep green eyes captured Babette, quietly taking the staff from her. The girl with long black hair and deep green eyes crossed the ring and waited. Babette probably stared at her for too long, and she repeated, “Do you yield?” and took a defensive stance. <italics>Watch her eyes. Wait for her to come to you. The girl charmed Babette with another smile and came across the ring, launching into a four point attack. <italics>Left, right, top, bottom. Shift onto your back foot. Duck. Lower on one knee. Spin. Aim left. Swing.

In the US, from birth to death
A million junkyards and dumps
Filled with plastic, glass, and steel
Forever in motion
Forever forgetting
The half life of civilization
Not quite hiding.

Sartre knew
Jean Paul-Sartre on anti-semites, that remains true for fascists today; Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The antiSemites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

In which Arthur C. Clarke invents social media and instructs the poster to keep it punchy
Screen capture from Rendezvous With Rama: "I'll tell you what we'll do, Boris," he said, abruptly making up his mind. He wanted to terminate this interview before it got too difficult, and thought he had found a good compromise. "Can you sum up your ideas in less than —oh, a thousand bits?" "Yes, I think so." "Well, if you can make it sound like a straightforward scientific theory, I'll send it, top priority, to the Rama Committee. Then a copy can go to your church at the same time, and everyone will be happy."
