i get that he and his #Billionaire #Apocalypse #TechBros think they don't need #NATO, #Europe, or any other former friendly nation on their side. Fine.
But how long is the rest of the country going to let them break everything they're not stealing or don't understand? It will not be fixable in 2027 or 2029, it is either now or forever bask in the kingdom of #Ozymandias.
Since the kleptomaniac in the White House can't stop threatening to invade other countries, can #USCongress or someone with some goddamn guts over there step up please!?
The #UnitedStates is burning every fucking relationship it has with other countries, and they are approaching unsalvageable. The tipping point of being universally reviled is now.

for a while i was sharing snippets of my novel here, but then it got to where doing that was kind of a huge pain in the ass.
now i have a better solution, if you'd like to read it.
it's trans wish fulfillment magical school fantasy. it has girls kissing girls. it has weird cosmic horror. it has a strange tower and a ruined endless city.
so yeah the first third is on Scribblehub, and i'm updating it twice weekly.

i guess that's what i'm doing with myself now! I'm #writing one of those #academia #fantasy #novel thingies. With #lesbian and #transgender characters and an #apocalypse vibe that feels just about right in the current year.
also it's wish fulfillment which means happy endings and positivity and girls falling in love and solving their problems through hugging, kissing, and violence.
and the cost to you? nothing! though your sharing and commenting goes a long way to making this feel worthwhile.

I have never written a novelette before, let alone a story told entirely in notes and lists. Let's see how this turns out!

Got #Kiwix set up on a my #RaspberryPi. Full #Wikipedia now hosted locally along with other stuff. All set for the forthcoming #Apocalypse. What a cool piece of software.
I wonder if people would be more willing to believe how the fossil fuel industry doesn't care if the rest of us live if someone presented it as a conspiracy.
Learn Secrets you were never meant to know!
In the late 1950's a secret cabal of wealthy industrialists were told that the world was going to end...
And they did nothing but kept grabbing as much money as they could because they would rather you died then they become poor.
Oh.. yeah this isn't a conspiracy theory.
We've got court documents pretty much proving everything except for why they don't care, that's a guess.
@alienghic Timothy Snyder in a chapter in his 2024 book "On Freedom" addressed this. He coined the phrase "oligarchic escapes" for it, the #billionaires' fantasy that with enough money one can escape the #apocalypse through various means. #RationalWiki covers the concept on different pages, collected here:

Rolling Stone: Naomi Klein: ‘What They Want Is Absolutely Everything’
"...Klein recently co-authored an essay for The Guardian, sounding alarm about the dark worldview of politically insurgent tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Klein views these men — who are guiding Donald Trump’s presidency — as abandoning any positive vision for our collective future, and instead retrenching in preparation for a dark, nearly end times-level social collapse, from which they and other elites emerge unscathed, and all powerful. “The governing ideology of the far-right in our age of escalating disasters,” she writes, “has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism.” ..."
