Constellation Response

Voice over Meshtastic is here. 🔊

In this demo, Kenny from @AT_Labs_Actual shows how to send real-time voice comms between two RM-2s using ATAK and the Meshtastic plugin. No cell towers, no licenses — just a mesh that talks back.

@GigaBasedDad @LibertyCappy Presbyterian- raised Baptist.

Let's have fun here What Christian denomination are you right now? Under what Christian denomination were you raised? Curious to see the results

@wayofftheres Of all the ways to put more oil back on the market, this is the dumbest.

This is how real frens talk to each other.

Been getting a surprising number of QRTs, comments, and DMs from people advocating for civil war and violence in response to gun control proposals. Stop that talk now. Do you actually know what comes with civil wars? You run out of water because the taps don't work and the water is contaminated anyway. Your grandmother gets picked off by a 14 year old trying to prove himself. You hear about a nearby neighborhood getting torched and everyone getting put in a mass grave. Foreign mercenaries and governments aiding your enemies and leaving you to starve. It's not just you and your buddies running ambushes and raids. It's dirty. It's vulgar. It's animalistic. It's total war. The sides won't be clear cut, either. Think about how divided the right already is. If you can't even build coalitions to fight gun control laws how are you going to build a coalition to fight your enemies? We're more likely to see massive infighting within the right than we are to see everyone unite. Then the left will do the same. And then everyone will be fighting everyone else. Civil wars are rarely two-sided conflicts. They are quagmires of disparate groups killing each other and their enemies relentlessly. You should look to Syria if you want to see what a civil war in the US would look like. 13 years and over 500,000 dead, over half were civilians. I understand the anger and frustration but violence is an absolute last resort and shouldn't be talked about lightly I have been proposing we do what the left does to push their agendas like coalition building, protesting, and being a legal nuisance and instead I have been getting edgy edgelords and justifiably upset people calling for violence. Stop it. It's playing with fire and once the djinn leaves the bottle, it doesn't go back in.

@HoetaBay Blow up the best part of your political coalition in one easy step.

He’s going to get the Kariaku treatment.

@RamboVanHalen You’re not the only one. I’m in 3 different industry chat groups. Only one dude in all three is consistently getting work. Everyone in all the groups is a 10+ year vet.

I put in 25 years. It would be 26 but I haven't worked yet this year and I'm not sure I'll ever work in entertainment again. The writing has been on the wall for quite some time. But it's a sad thing--especially since the collapse of Hollywood is (mostly) self inflicted. Outsiders like to blame the unions and burdensome regulations. That's not exactly wrong, but the big reason is that Hollywood stopped making a product that people wanted to consume. Film is a funny thing. On one hand it's art. But on the other it's a mass consumer product--like a car, or a soft drink. But unlike a typical consumer product, it was something we consumed together. We went to a special place, and sat with strangers, and watched stories. And those stories infected us. They entered our minds and our souls and they implanted things. Deep things. Ancient things. Timeless things. Things like heroism and beauty and love and fear and sex and death and adventure and tragedy and pain and injustice and all the things that make up our dreams. There's a thing we call "cinematic language". It's how we tell a story with images. (And BTW if you want to learn more about the language of visual media, read Scott McCloud's excellent book Understanding Comics.) An odd thing about cinematic language is that it's the same language as dreams. There's a scene in Christopher Nolan's Inception where Leonardo DiCaprio is explains to (the tragic) Ellen Page how dreams work. But what he's really describing is cinematic language. Inception is really a movie about movies BTW. While it's far from my favorite film, I think it's the perfect film. Because the suspension of disbelief is perfect. You believe the plot about dreams because you're familiar with how movies work--maybe not consciously--but you know. Everyone knows. Maybe not everyone has seen a movie, but everyone has dreams. Another odd thing about film: you don't "watch" a movie, you look into it. And you put yourself inside it. Now you're in the dream. And you're hypnotized. Because movies do that too. The motion--the moving images--they hack your brain. We're programed to pay attention to moving things. Even when the things aren't real. Even when they're just light reflected off a screen. So we'd go to these special places--these movie theaters--these temples--and we'd sit, and we'd "watch" and we'd enter the dream. And we did it together. And after the movie was over--and the lights came on, and we'd file out over the sound of popcorn crunching under our feet--we were different. We had become transformed. Sometimes we were changed in minor ways. But sometimes not. Sometimes we were changed in profound ways. And we did it together. Before the movie we were a room full of strangers. But after--on the way out the door--we all had something in common. Because we shared an experience. We'd shared the dream. And we'd all become transformed. And then tech got involved... Streaming turned movies from a communal experience to a personal experience. And that's an issue, but they did something else too. They started developing movies as if they were tech products. But you can't apply a KPI to a dream. At least, not successfully anyway. Because dreams don't work like that--nor does any sort of art. And that's a funny thing about making movies. You try to make the best film you can, but at the end of the day you have no idea if it's good or if it's going to be successful. You just have to hope the audience likes it. Now, you can design a movie that will appeal to a preexisting audience. Marvel movies are like this. There's a large group of fanboy nerds that will see every single one. You can count on them every time. Just like you can count on the Gay Oscar Bait crowd (for example). But those movies are slop. But Hollywood became specialists in slop. Because slop is safe. Because you could apply KPI style metrics to slop. As a result they lost the audience. And the audience is probably never coming back. I wrote a book in 2024 (that was published in 2025). While writing, I thought of it as my farewell to the industry. But looking back, what I was actually writing was a eulogy for Hollywood--the place where dreams were made. And so it goes...

Joe Kent is my friend and brother, and my loyalty to my friends is to the death. I don't know enough about what's going on to talk about it, and I think more people should take that approach. That's all I gotta say about it.

Help if you can 🤙🏼

I introduced the PAUSE Act to freeze immigration until we reassert our sovereignty Too many people are entering this country who refuse to assimilate, disregard our laws, and undermine the principles that make America strong

In just over 6 months, I have received incredible grassroots financial support from Texans in this campaign for Attorney General. We've raised more than double what my opponent has, because Texans understand I'm the only conservative with real legal experience in this race.

@mnsibley The wood pile directly above the pillow….

How many spiders are in this picture?

@pew_mechanic @TruthFairy131 Literally my reaction.

@TruthFairy131 I’m not Catholic, but I’m ordering a Rosary right now. Christ is King

🔥 BREAKING 🔥 After ‘Christ is King’ has been deemed ‘Antisemitic’ in the U.S, now Rosary Beads are ‘radical’ & worse than firebombings apparently. The Atlantic says: “The rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or “rad trad”) Catholics. On this extremist fringe, rosary beads have been woven into a conspiratorial politicsand absolutist gun culture. These armed radical traditionalists have taken up a spiritual notion that the rosary can be a weapon in the fight against evil and turned it into something dangerously literal. Their social-media pages are saturated with images of rosaries draped over firearms, warriors in prayer, Deus Vult (“God wills it”) crusader memes, and exhortations for men to rise up and become Church Militants”. So Christians witnessing their people being terrorised, r*ped & slaughtered on the streets & wanting to protect themselves, their families & communities is ‘extreme’. Are you kidding me? What really is ‘extreme’ is leaders & Governments importing dangerous violent foreign criminals into our nations & communities. Self preservation is NOT extreme.

@ChestyPullerGst Real question: why are we NOT hanging these people in public?

I'll happily donate the rope.

Today is Gary Plauche Day! OTD in 1984, Gary waited at the Baton Rouge Metro Airport for Jeff Doucet, who'd molested his son, Jody. When the police escorted the vile PDF by, Gary turned and cured him. Reply w "Thank You Gary" to bless a hero!
