Let's explore the mindset of the Sacramento Press as they ignore local innovations.

First, the innovations.

1) Hard-math sustainable socialism in films and shows for collaborators.
2) First public open-source information defining collaborative storytelling with NFTs.

It's the first public on-chain economic model that distributes equity and shared net earnings based on direct merit of impact, and it's open source information.

It's the first public on-chain economic model rewarding public supporters with equity-backed collaborator roles.

All of this was established over a month before the Bored Apes took off.

Despite rather insane counter-marketing, this information has helped countless people adopt the mindset of possibility in the space.

Due to primarily two individuals displaying the ethics of cartoon villains and dedicating their early time in building a culture against our work...

Our market response has been dreadful.

For not participating in the cartoon villain world, we've been put into a corner to die.

The work has been used, celebrated, discussed....

You see it everywhere.

The information was good enough to be used en masse...

I didn't play the political game of a cartoon villain calling themselves 'architect,' so the @LMOPro team doesn't "qualify" for sector support.

That's the culture here.

That's also the culture in Sacramento, now.

I don't "stay in my place" because I talk about things I experience out loud.

That's not what it was 10 years ago...

But y'all let that Bay Area money turn you into people you're not.

Mindset #1:

Beam Team is lord, we must not conflict with Beam Team.

The sites that eat off the team, I get it. Hell, I played this game for years, too.

Leo Beas was the only member of the Press to have me on anything in the last year.

I worked with Leo for one month during 2015 following the sale of CK, and it didn't work out. If we were both petty gremlin rappers, I'm sure there would be beef 7 years later 🤣

Leo and his wife just had a baby. He needs the same access to the Beam Team that other Press get.

The reason Leo "broke rank" isn't because we're friends. After 2015, we actually barely spoke.

Manny, the CK photographer, is an immensely talented visual storyteller. He had to sit out same season I did, one of the four photographers subject to conspiracy to limit competition.

Leo wanted to discuss the De'Aaron Fox project, which I would have stabilized and cleaned up in a week, and needed to discuss with someone who works in the sector.

He did what a journalist does, and discussed the topic with someone inside the same field.

I bring this up to say that Leo has never worried about his "access," and he's been more or less painted into a corner as a media pariah for this.

And had his access pulled.

Having worked with him, the old obstacles were in execution and sensation, not ethics.

Now, I've seen how the Press maintains this culture that Leo has been kept outside of since 2015.

I haven't been outside or inside... just a fly on the wall, working on a fictional mirror world through #Lensface content.

Media elitism is the joke, yes. Many angles.

Including #Lensface, because that project is fundamentally a form of media elitism.

Y'all have no idea what I'm doing at all.

You shouldn't make assumptions. You should be curious. JFC.

Let's address a few things:

1) None of you had any right to "put me on trial" behind-the-scenes the way you do.

You're in the Press, your job is to find facts.

Most of you are white - that's literally how supremacy functions.

You're talking to folks who tell me, shape up.

I could name names, but I actually like most of you, and I find it heartbreaking that you "need to be better" than your colleague, trying to climb out of health-related poverty.

Do you, but don't ever put up a black square again.

Don't even think of yourself as compatible.

2) Even if I was making a sitcom directly about Vivek and Matina burying puppies alive, the innovation it's built on is newsworthy.

That's gist of the manufactured fear.

I'm making a sitcom about a goofy fictional pro basketball lore that's community generated, YOU WEIRDOS.

The reason for that fear is because a shit-ton of people are on the ugly side of an ugly story.

Their united answer? Ignore it, bury it, and light the beam.

A conspiracy to limit competition - coming from Media Relations people who needed to look like they had something to do, there's no real reason for it - froze out a photojournalist from needed income while their brother died in the streets, homeless.

This same small-ass Media Relations department created an antitrust-violating hierarchy in the media.

The media plays along with because certain members feel like "they've won."

The whole thing is so sick and stupid, it's hilarious.

I didn't play along with it... I created a character to troll the hell out of it.

An "influencer" photojournalist who treated professional basketball as his canvas, but produced absolutely terrible content.

All in good fun.

That was deliberate. The goal was to have the content quality reflect the team. And I nailed it, the entire series is goddamn hilarious.

You'd think so too, if Logan Paul or Belle Delphine did it, but subconscious racism steals my artistic grace from your cognitive paradigm.

The entire circuit would have been "in" on it had I revealed who I share blood with, and that's part of my commentary here.

Clout-chasing is not journalism.

Sacramento Press is a clout-chasing organism.

Not a journalistic body.

This city is collapsing for locals.

Sacramento Press should have told Black Sacramentans and local Star Wars fans that a member of James Earl Jones' family is pursuing a major sitcom in Sacramento as a collaborative community puzzle, a blockchain innovation that's the first of it's kind.

They won't.

18-months since initial Press Release is clarifying.

As a clout-chasing organism, this story officially highlights these for what a majority are...

Corrupt. Collusive. Only concerned about themselves, their careers, and their own "access" to the "big show."

I come from a far bigger show... not Vader... I'm talking about humanity.

Y'all have lost the damn plot.

Support @LMO_PressPass, and we'll collaborate on finding it again.
