🔶 KLCY AXIOM Prime @kelseyhusky@awoo.space

This week, someone killed the President. And the vice president, several members of the cabinet, the house, the senate, and 3 supreme court justices. Several Governers, Sherrifs, federal judges and even some CEOs and boardmembers were also eventually added to the total body count. If all has gone according to plan, and my scheduler hasn't screwed up, this video got released two days later.
All of this was done in a massive, organized, coordinated strike. In a single night. No collateral damage, no bystanders injured. Not even their protection details. For 48 hours, the country was stunned at how such a thing would even be accomplished. Beheading such a massive hydra of bigotry, sexism, wealth hoarding, and just plain selfish hurtfulness seemed impossible.
But it can be done. If you're smart enough, resourceful enough, and dedicated to doing the right thing hard enough, and with enough determination to see the great task accomplished. Someone tried to change the country, and I know why. More importantly, I know who. It was an amzing plan, and this essay is part of it.
I changed the world. I did it on purpose. And I want to confess.
But before we get into it, I want to thank all my wonderful Patreon, Ko-fi, GoFundMe, and Kickstarter supporters. This wouldn't have been possible without all of you! and a big shout-out to my sponsors Audible, Skillshare, Squarespace, and NordicVPN!

The internet is The Force

It has a light side: Masto, Cat videos, Dog pictures, Furries, cosplay tutorials, neat and silly fun timewasters, THE SUM OF ALL HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, and access to more sentient minds than can possible be comprehended, except by aliens (and David Bowie, if that's not a redundancy in terms)

It has a dark side: Twitter, Facebook, "The Dark Web", racists, white supremacists, GamerGaters, furries, TERFS, Minion memes. scammers, ads, auto-playing ads, auto-playing music that you can't find the source of, algorithmic tracking and demographic profiling in the name of the soul-sucking hellbeast that is capitalism.

It's an energy field created by all living things: Online content, even the Machine Learning/AI-generated content (optimized for clicks, views, and monetization/exploitation) finds its genesis somewhere in a human brain.

It surrounds us, and penetrates us: Wi-fi, Mobile broadband, satellite transmissions.

and it binds the planet together: There is a physical wrapping of tamed light and electricity trapped in metal that is literally wrapped around the surface of our planet.

Fite me.

@Motodrachen That is some beautiful work! I'd hate to have you out in the heat, though!

I am getting two long awaited shipments very soon. My lightsaber arrives tomorrow. My Pride Dice Kickstarter (remember that?) rewards should be arriving Monday, according to the tracking information I had to wait 3+ months to get.

@kauko @irisjaycomics I'd be happy to help brainstorm with both of you!

@daylight I think you matter.

*team work chat*
Guy1: I'll fax it to you.

Me: Are faxes even still legal by now?

Guy1: lol
Guy1: You don't work with gov. agencies very much do you [$ortho_sona?]
Guy1: in some cases its the ONLY legal way to communicate.

Me: I'm black. I interact with the government as little as possible.

Guy1: emoji_grimacing

Sorry, dude. Was that a little too real for you?

Being wheeled into the repair bay, inputs distorted, warnings pinging all over and overwhelming, and the sigh of relief as the EM dampeners kick on, and your twitching, thrashing, damaged frame is locked into a stasis field. You are safe, and in the best possible place to stand down, go limp, and just be repaired. The technician smiles, and places a hand on your plating to reassure you and pings a consent query to your queue, waiting patiently as all the other warnings and alerts hit their hayflick limits and TTL away. When you can acknowledge the request, all the pain goes away, along with all inputs except soothing green noise that you can feel, see, hear, smell, and taste, with periodic NTP pings to reassure you that you haven't been taken off-line permanently.

And then you wake up, gradually, gently, all servos at standby, all buffers cleared and caches empty.

"Welcome back."

@kauko Same, TBH

@mawr The disaster that comes from trusting the processing being done by a cron job without verifying that it is running, running fast enough, running accurately, or pick 2-3.

@pillowcat has anyone gotten you a cast-iron skillet in a wig yet?

I haven’t felt the world was okay since Radio Aahs went off the air.

@LexYeen@snouts.online The memes not being as good as our memories of either.
