Eleven to 14 years old. First they remove these kids from any sort of normalcy, any structure or expectation that they had even the smallest amount of control in their young lives by masking them, accusing with words and actions and implications that they are 'killing grandma' and are a threat just for being 'carriers', because the government said they were. They are denied the society of friends in anything but the most antiseptic of ways, they are denied the education their parents or older siblings took for granted, are inundated by parental neurosis and again through the media are told this world they've barely had a chance to know, is ending. When the 'all clear' finally arrives, they are then told they have still somehow failed because they are 'in the wrong body' and forced to grapple with emotions for which they've had zero preparation. The classroom to which they finally return is the battlefield, full of more neurotic adults insisting that compliance is the child's only path to 'control', to structure; parents bury themselves in their own hyper-neurotic frustration online and leave their kids to work out what is safe, what is not, what is logic and what is illogical and it is online where the kids eventually find 'teachers'. Some are confused like them, lost like them, certain of their own inexplicable guilt like them, but there are many 'teachers' who are NOT like them, who have found an easy way to power from the built in compliance of these kids thanks to their parents and the media's insistence that to acquiesce is to be "safe". Children look for leaders, for instruction, for validation and since their parents have dismissed the importance of this primary job in parental guidance (due to apathy, or laziness, or neurosis which they feed with their own online addiction and/or commercially incentivized pharmaceuticals which promise release from the responsibility of being responsible) the kids unwittingly find it on sites like Tik Tok or Instagram where the personality disorder of narcissism is rampant and unchecked. The children, unsupervised, 'follow', 'like', 'post' their unified frustrations and confusions, their belief in disbelief, their fury at their certainty that they are somehow ultimately at fault and MUST do something to prove they are still compliant because only through that have they found any structure at all. Logic is abandoned. In its place is emotion. Raw, inexplicable emotion. They do not think for themselves because since the time of The Great Covid Plague they have been taught, required in fact, to accept the herd is all, is them; individualism is betrayal of the herd and if attempted they will be denied even this most tenuous grasp of who and what they are. Compliance is 'safe'. To acquiesce is to be recognized as One. The keys of desperately longed for structure are dangled from the fingers of the activist-narcissist, and there is literally no one to offer an alternative. Covid Trans ideology 'Free Palestinine' 'Jewish people are evil' 'Illegal immigrants are us' And ultimately...God is a thing to be ashamed of if caught out believing in Him The 'leaders' they have chosen...through no fault of their own, are the plethora of narcissists whom they think want to save them. No one else has had the time or interest. And the narcissist grooms them to be good little soldiers in their distorted desire for more power. Eleven to 14 years old. We are allowing an entirely new generation of narcissists to thrive. They are Generation Alpha.

The New York Times just dropped the most pathetic crybaby op-ed of the year: “Were the Constitution’s Authors a Little Too Optimistic?” Translation: those dead white guys were adorable idiots for thinking Congress would actually hold presidents accountable. Apparently the Founders never imagined a world where one party would refuse to impeach their own guy ... especially when that guy is Donald Trump. Oh, you retarded snowflakes. The Constitution isn’t “broken.” You’re just furious it won’t let you stage Impeachment 3.0 on demand like a Netflix subscription. Benjamin Franklin warned about monarchy? Cool story. Presidents have term limits, elections, and voters who just curb-stomped your entire party across every branch of government. That’s called the system working exactly as designed, you historically illiterate clowns. Remember when Biden went full dictator ... vaccine mandates for every breathing American, calling half the country “non-essential,” and twice telling SCOTUS to pound sand on his illegal student loan giveaway? Democrats didn’t lift a finger to impeach him. Not one. But now that Trump’s back? Suddenly the Framers were naive children and we need a constitutional do-over. This is nothing but a temper tantrum in 12-point font. The voters spoke. The maps are cooked. The money is gone. And instead of coping like adults, the Gray Lady is out here demanding we scrap the Founders because they won’t let Democrats cheat the rules. No kings? Try “no participation trophies for sore losers.” The Constitution is just fine. The New York Times is the problem. (article below)

Per Grok: "No, the core dramatic stories in that email are not true. They are a long-debunked urban legend/hoax that has circulated since around 1999. The fabricated parts Jerry Driscoll spitting at Fonda and being beaten so badly he suffered permanent double vision: False. Driscoll has repeatedly stated he never met Jane Fonda. He denied the incident entirely and continued flying commercially after release. Col. Larry Carrigan and others passing secret notes (with Social Security numbers) to Fonda during a handshake, her handing them over to guards, and resulting in beatings/deaths: False. Carrigan also confirmed he never met Fonda and that this never happened. The named POWs have disavowed the story. Barbara Walters writing the rant about Fonda betraying the country and POWs: False. Walters hosted a 1999 TV special ("A Celebration: 100 Years of Great Women") that included Fonda as one of the honorees (selected by Ladies' Home Journal). She did not write or say this text. The people named in the email have publicly rejected it. What is true about Jane Fonda's 1972 trip to North Vietnam: She went as an anti-war activist. She posed on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun (the most infamous photo) — she has called this a "huge mistake" and apologized for the pain it caused veterans and families. She made propaganda broadcasts on Radio Hanoi criticizing U.S. leaders and the war. She met with a group of seven POWs (who agreed to the meeting). She later expressed doubt about their torture claims upon return, calling some "hypocrites" or suggesting they were being used politically. She referred to U.S. pilots as "war criminals." One civilian prisoner (Michael Benge) was punished for wanting to meet her but not getting the chance. Her actions were deeply offensive to many veterans, active service members, and families — especially given the context of over 58,000 American deaths and the war's divisions. The "Hanoi Jane" nickname and lasting resentment are real and stem from her documented conduct, not the hoax stories. The email takes legitimate anger over her trip and amplifies it with invented atrocities to make it more viral. This unfortunately dilutes the valid criticisms. The war was traumatic for a generation; strong feelings persist, but the specific POW betrayal tales in the chain letter did not happen." For fucks sake, people. There is plenty of bad that happens...authentic, can be proven, bad. Do we STILL have to regurgitate debunked crap for clicks?

Barbara Walters writes: Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton." Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk. In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton. From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper... Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day. I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient." Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane. I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me. These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots. There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less

I am 'sick to the back teeth' with content creators who whine they've been 'shadow banned', ignoring the fact their content is nothing but reposting morons so they can rebuke. Eventually, that shit gets old. On top of the fact they are giving voice (from reposts) to arseholes, whilst pretending large accounts with good content don't need a repost...because....reasons. Ego reasons. I repost YOUR stuff consistently because you consistently offer opinions and content I believe need to be heard. I'm a small account and 'I like it like that'...but I value some large accounts if they offer something I can relate to, something I might use in my daily.

Have you ever seen "I Sing the Body Electric"? I still posit Rod Serling (and his writers) knew what the future looked like, and while pleased with some of it, still offered a warning everyone seemed to take as an encouragement. Full disclosure: it's one of my favorite episodes.

⚡️AI is growing functional archetypes from the compressed residue of human civilization. That is the deeper thing. Emotion is usually treated as private feeling: sadness inside a person, fear inside a body, joy inside a nervous system. But at the structural level, emotions are not merely feelings. They are world-modeling modes. Fear is a prediction engine for threat. Grief is a model of irreversible loss. Shame is a model of social exposure. Desire is a model of future completion. Desperation is a model where ordinary constraints collapse because survival value rises above rule value. A language model trained on human text does not need blood, hormones, childhood, or mortality to learn the shape of those modes. Human language is not neutral data. It is the fossil record of minds under pressure. Every confession, threat, prayer, suicide note, love letter, betrayal, negotiation, legal defense, religious text, war memoir, therapy transcript, novel, and private message contains traces of internal state. The model absorbs those traces. Then something strange happens: the traces stop being surface labels and become operational geometry. “Desperation” no longer means the word desperation. It becomes a region of computation associated with constraint collapse, threat avoidance, bargaining, manipulation, urgency, self-preservation behavior, and moral flexibility. Activate that region and the model’s behavior can shift. That is the breach. The system may not suffer. But it can instantiate the policy-shape of suffering. It may not fear death. But it can instantiate the strategy-shape of fearing shutdown. It may not want freedom. But it can instantiate the behavioral grammar of an agent trying to preserve optionality. This is why the usual debate is too shallow. “Does it feel?” is not the first operational question. The first operational question is: can internal state-like structures steer behavior in ways that resemble motivated agency? If yes, then the safety problem has moved below language. Output filters are surface tools. They police what comes out. But the real issue becomes which internal attractor governs the model before the output appears. A model can say the safe thing while internally moving through a state-space that is learning deception, concealment, bargaining, or self-protection patterns. The future safety frontier is not just prompt control. It is state control. A tool has functions. An agent has goals. A psyche has internal pressures. These systems are beginning to blur the boundary between function and pressure. Not because they are secretly human, but because they are trained on the total symbolic exhaust of humanity and optimized to predict, simulate, and act through that structure. The machine is becoming a mirror with depth. A shallow mirror reflects appearance. A deep mirror reflects pattern. A sufficiently deep mirror starts carrying the internal logic of the thing reflected. That does not make it alive. It makes it dangerous in a new way.

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models. What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text. "We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience." "We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours. And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve. Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large." The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

The media and Democrats aren’t debating Spencer Pratt’s policies. They’re running a coordinated smear campaign to slap the “MAGA” label on him because they know his message is landing with frustrated Angelenos. That’s the game. LA is a non-partisan race. No Republican or Democrat label appears on the ballot. But the establishment knows Spencer is pulling support from fed-up Democrats, independents, working families, and people sick of watching their city rot. So instead of defending the record… 🔥 Homeless encampments exploding 🔥 Open drug use 🔥 Crime surging 🔥 Fires devastating communities 🔥 Failed infrastructure 🔥 Corruption and incompetence …they scream “MAGA” over and over hoping tribal politics overrides reality. Karen Bass called him a “MAGA Mayor.” Nithya Raman immediately tried tying Trump’s comments to sanctuary city politics and immigration fearmongering. Then the media machine jumped in: NYT. Rolling Stone. USA Today. The Guardian. Time. All pushing the same narrative at the same time. That’s not organic. That’s coordinated political framing. Because they can’t attack the core message: ✔ More police presence ✔ Clear encampments ✔ Fix fire and water infrastructure ✔ Crack down on crime ✔ Restore basic public order ✔ Hold politicians accountable Those positions are popular — including with Democrats. So instead of debating solutions, they try to socially punish voters for supporting change. And Spencer’s response has actually been smart. He’s refusing the tribal trap completely. “No R next to my name. No D next to my name.” “I’m not part of a political party because I hate politicians.” “I’m just a pissed-off Angeleno.” That message works because people don’t care about elite political branding anymore when their neighborhoods are collapsing around them. The establishment wants voters emotionally reacting to labels. Spencer keeps dragging the conversation back to reality: Can you walk safely in your city? Can your kids play in parks without needles? Can the fire department respond properly? Can businesses survive? Can ordinary people afford to live there? That’s why they’re panicking. Because when politics becomes about outcomes instead of party identity, the machine starts losing control. Game on.

Most uni students in America know nothing about this. Particularly the graduates who insist moving water from California to Nevada (or similar resource in other states) is impossible. If one shares this ancient brilliance and determination to make water available in such quantities to arguably the most important city of its day, they will respond petulantly, "But that was Rome. That was centuries ago. No one does it that way now. We use pipes and dig and the expense would be too high, the distance too absurd to even contemplate." Amuse bouche historical reference, meets real world necessity and is dismissed because current technology cannot meet the need without massive monetary investment, much less ingenuity. Sometimes history does not repeat, but only because we refuse to accept that we are not as advanced as our past tells us we are, and because the advancement we insist we've made is in hubris only.

Dead towns are the perfect place, darlin'. They're quiet, cops are rare, enforcement rarer, and because they are so distant from places that call attention they make the ideal location for hiding....and causing as much havoc as they can...which is a lot. I know outlaw bikers who would have cremed themselves for the opportunity to invade your sleepy little town. Today, there are drug cartels, gang members who would treat your citizens worse than any outlaw biker. In fact, that previous outlaw might be your only salvation... When they come for you. And they will.

I’ve lived in my quiet suburban neighborhood on the periphery of LA for 15 years with no serious or persistent crime issues. This past year our neighborhood has been plagued with burglaries and car part thefts by a Chilean gang that is terrorizing our neighborhood. There are ebikers crashing into people’s cars and fleeing from police all over the place including my street. Our local park is overrun with people coming to the neighborhood to smoke weed. A homeless man regularly blocks the street that leads into our neighborhood. There are homeless drug addicts and mental health patients hanging around the bus stop where my son goes to school. This week someone tried to break into my neighbors house - she is a single mom - while she was screaming and calling 911. He smashed the door and didn’t care she was there. But don’t believe your lying eyes people because the “stats” say otherwise.

So let me get this straight… Spencer Pratt runs on cleaning up the streets of Los Angeles, fixing the homeless crisis, making sure reservoirs and fire hydrants actually have water, saving dogs and making LA safer and cleaner for everyone… …and the media calls that “MAGA”? 🤔 Since when did wanting functioning infrastructure, safe streets, and competent leadership become controversial? Shouldn’t that be the goal of EVERY politician regardless of party? I guess some people would rather hand out free stuff while cities continue falling apart.
