Late night wargaming last night as longtime friend & opponent (but not twitter aficionado) @alpmurphy & I tried out the First Bull Run scenario in Worthington Publishing's Hold the Line: The American Civil War

Why did Holmes respond affirmatively, & w/o clarification, to Goldman's mis-stated question mentioning President 'Zelensky' when Goldman clearly meant 'Trump'?

This assumes nobody would make a clip of this moment to confuse things, like Russia or Fox News.

#ImpeachmentHearing I mean, both Goldman & Holmes clearly knew Goldman meant Trump, & Holmes answered based on that shared knowledge, but that's not the point: the video record clearly says 'Zelensky'.

Glitches in the matrix can be weaponized just like anything else, no?

Archdruid as Art Critic! Who knew?

"The Kek Wars, Part One: Aristocracy and its Discontents"

ecosophia.net/the-kek-wars-p… We’ll probably have to wait until the student loan bubble pops, and takes most of US higher education with it, before artists remember that art is an act of communication, not of exclusion, and that it’s their job to reach out to their audience—not the audience’s job to struggle to wrestle some drop or other of meaning out of an opaque and unappealing product. Candy bar was a nickel & a soda was a dime.

I've heard the below quote before.

Again, John Michael Greer from

ecosophia.net/the-kek-wars-p… In 1960, an American family of four with one working class income could afford a home, a car, three square meals a day, and all the other requirements of a decent lifestyle. In 2010, fifty years later, an American family of four with one working class income was struggling to avoid living on the street if they weren’t already there.

# Exploring Tweetbonds

Continuing speculations on building an informal economy of sorts using standard Twitter functions only.

See the below for the initial draft, though Ive evolved the idea since then If someone deletes a Reply to you, there is no record that such a Reply ever existed(*). One could of course make a screenshot (aka screencap) but screenshots can be faked to say whatever you want.

(*) Actually, twitter may retain the Reply, I dunno.

# How TweetBonds might work

A SPLIT is a reverse-authored multi-tweet nested quote tweet.

A single author sets up a famous quote or passage. The last line of the passage (or a name or perhaps reference) is then Replied to with a link to the top tweet. Such a Reply is called a Buttress. Generally, we'll only need the B type buttress as shown below.
