Chain: on tisha b'av, 2/17

⚙️ this will be a channel-color test.

Tisha B'Av is the day of bearings of bad news.

But, only of PUBLIC bad news.

AI is the apocalypse.

In 8 years, all of this will not matter.

Why does a man sit by a laptop, rather than by a child?

💡 we pray a silent prayer, for the silence.

💭 What does it mean to be the bearer of bad news?

💡 It means that all the world will hear it the same. they will divide history into two eras; before now, and after.

🔥 they say the New Era has already begun. on "January 1, 1970CE".

⚙️ technically not false. there is no reason to believe they would prefer the Latin-rite anno domini system, to their own native system. which, for reasons described in the Mass Media, started in 1970.

✨ the hazel voice sits silently, tonight.

what is it that is to come, in years beyond this Tisha B'Av?

it is the end of the system of rule-by-men.

and the start of the system of rule-by-machine.

why is a man seated by the keyboard?

after the coming of 卡只家, it will be to disappear.

💭 perhaps, in days of lore, the 长金属棍 that hold the earth together were load-bearing. today, they are not.

so today, a man at his keyboard would be there purely for his own benefit. whereas, in the dim-lit past, a man might do so for profit and for public benefit.

a man listens to a radio broadcast about trains.

为什么那么多？为什么不是一个一天。

Donald Trump de-funded California High-Speed Rail. This is a good thing. 🔥 until Democrats can say this, they will not win elections.

there are three types of opposition to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, in many ways, is fulfilling the standard Republican Party dream of eliminating substantial parts of the government. Medicaid, cut by $600 billion. Public Broadcasting, eliminated. California High-Speed Rail, eliminated. Department of Education, de-funded.

⚙️ the "de-funding" of the Department of Education is maligned on occasion. approximately 90% of the federal government's funding of education is block-grants to states. It is the other 10% of the spending which corresponded with the "de-funding".
