Re-reading Conversations with Stalin, and this description of the Yugoslav Communists falling under the spell of Stalin is awfully ... Contemporary sounding in comparison to POTUS followers:

"Sometimes the idolatry acquired ridiculous proportions ...." /1
"... [We believed] because Stalin said so, and when [his predictions] failed to happen, the prophecy was forgotten -- and the prophet lost none of his superhuman power..." /2
"Communists succeeded in convincing themselves of the propriety and suitability of such actions [as purges and show trials], and in banishing from their minds unpleasant facts." /3

No really, some genius has a line of meal replacement products called Soylent.

... At least there isn't a green one, I guess?
Oh, but don't worry -- it includes genetically engineered products!
Agh you may as well eat styrofoam, it's about as natural

I spent 55 hrs rewatching Battlestar Galactica this wk, & had deeper thoughts on AI/nature of consciousness/why we think of the divine, resistance techniques/guerrilla warfare, civil-military relations, representative govt/social stratification -- than I get from year of TV news
The spinoff needed (cc @RonDMoore) is how the idea of God evolved in the centurions, & what happened to them. The whole series should be without speech, as the centurions are.
Would be a good way to upend ideas re science, faith, human, machine, & battle over development of AI.
Also, this, again, x1000

I started watching the last ep without tissues and with cats on me, and that was a big mistake.

@edwardjolmos + @MaryMcDonnell10, thank you for your portrayal of my favorite TV romance, ever

THE GREAT AWAKENING Thread:

In recent weeks, we've all noticed the attacks intensify against the QAnon movement. Patriots have been censored, personally attacked and shilled to the highest caliper. Q has told us we're the #2 attacked next to POTUS, and we feel it.
2. Unfortunately, this has caused some folks to become disgruntled, impatient, and confused.

Many Anons have decided to go to the chans to call out journalists to ask the question, "Who is Q?". Patriots are becoming agitated, and want this to go full stream once and for all.
3. I'm about to give you all some clarity, and hopefully some faith. 🙏🏻

Qanon is an innovation movement: 'The Great Awakening'. This is an idea based movement to awaken the masses, and transition truth back into our media, and our daily life 'as we know it'.

Bots Thread 2

This is the story of The Voty Twitter Botnet and The Attack on Senator Al Franken by the Alt-Right Army
On November 15th at 10:21 PM, Roger Stone, via the now-suspended @stonezonetweets Twitter account, tweeted the following:

Roger Stone says it’s Al Franken’s “time in the barrel”. Franken next in long list of Democrats accused of “grabby” behavior.
That same day the web domain realusa.site was registered in Japan developer named Atsufumi Otsuka (if the registration info is to be believed) and a pseudo-news website was established.
