For me this is language in a nutshell … holler if you need help seeing a triangular prism as a cube.

Tough one to put a finger on … probably a fun one to discover whilst high

Lean into similes and you'll learn more than by rejecting them.

As in compaction upon impact.

The mind

Both the best and the worst of what it means to be human are found within the frame of forethought.

Noticed these have been returned to the bottom … guess I wasn't the only one that felt the move was intended to obfuscate whether a tweet was promoted.

Think I need to mind map my bifurcated information ecosystem spiel. I have enough to say about it to fill a book … which is an obstacle in itself for the #ADHD brain.

Here's where we're at since the fall of Kabul. Each time I consider checking Twitter notifications … I check this screen first to see who may have just discovered that … for me … the tribe does not come before the truth.

So woke Twitter has really been fleshing out pieces of my bifurcated information ecosystem/dual reality bubble/tribal echo chamber feedback/propaganda/devolution argument since Kabul fell that have been missing. I expect the reception of these new pieces to be much colder.

"I stopped directly working on Afghanistan policy a decade ago, though I kept advocating for SIVs for several more years. The last two weeks have been some of the most demoralizing weeks I have ever encountered…" thread by @jr_foust bit.ly/3t36zVR

Feels like the common Twitter practice of blocking accounts that leave comments inconsistent with our messages … and only following accounts delivering what we want to see … would exponentially worsen

More stupid Twitter card tricks @manton. The crawler is only fetching images for posts created since whatever change got it going again. I was using Ulysses to re-publish some of the posts I wanted to drop into a thread so I would get proper cards. Success. Then today I thought I'd try manipulating the date and time property. Changing it for the already published post did nothing so I deleted the original post, went back to Ulysses, and tried re-publishing with it backdated. Total success … even with what I think is an identical URL.

Dual Reality Diagram

Stop at nothing where avenging our fallen American heroes is concerned … stop at the admittance of SIV recipients (carrying valid documentation as proof) where rescuing Afghan heroes is concerned.

Do I have that right @PressSac?

The Earth Two representation I created for the Venn diagram I'm working on.

Think Imma do another Venn diagram, this one showing the solitary slice of overlap between our dual realities (which bubble one denizens have struggled with accepting as part of their bubble … what-abouting it away as a coping mechanism). May also right an essay on fallibility.

The thing is … America never becomes an autocracy. We the people have a will that may never be broken. By the year 2027, White will be minority to non-White for the 18-29 age group.

Trump was a formula … not a force, a tool … not a tyrant.

If your focus remains on that puffy little can of Orange Blush, you are missing the core of the challenge we face in defending our forefathers Tree of Liberty.

Has nobody been complaining about MSNBC's coverage of Afghanistan because all the anchors have been bending over backwards to play devil's advocate?

Suppose I oughta collect the whataboutism in my Twitter timeline in short bursts. That sh$t turns the stomach (with the exception of some fairly innocent ones I've come across … the most innocent tweet technically qualifying currently belongs to @kazweida).

As the January 6th committee begins holding hearings, it feels worth pointing out once more just where Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger fit into the ideologies of today.

Y'all do realize that unconditional love is for your family and your critters … not for your public servants … correct?

Been going through my thrice highlighted Bernays to start piecing together my Propaganda analysis … which feeds directly into the bifurcated information ecosystem spiel I am finally ready to get down in a digestible format … but now it feels like work so we're touch and go.
