It was funny. I knew "Bryan Bedford" by name, but had not seen images of him over the years. I had to look at the screen a few a few times to see some resemblance to the somewhat nerdy corporate guy I remembered from #Bizex. He's experienced, competent, and a decent person. Okay to be Administrator.

Turchin has a point. These arcs of history can be predicted by watching trends and doing some couning. Jane Borden used different words, but she saw the same phenomena.

Peter Turchin, citing statistical factors matching what Borden said about increased numbers of angry losers (elite overproduction).
Before WW2, many of the angry losers in Europe, who could not go to the USA due to the Great Depression, became fascists.

Surges in cults and extremism associated with periods of austerity or many more people with no place to fit in.

At some point, masked and unidentified kidnappers are going to fuck with the wrong people, in the wrong place, and get shot. Those raids are a game of Russian roulette.
Prediction markets are betting on violence.

Those masked punks are part of an extremist movement to fully control and weaponize law enforcement.
Jessica Pishko @jesspish.bsky.social posted a lot about this.
This will add up to martial law in effect!

This! People are missing this.
Louis Beam, Pete Peters, David Duke, et al have been advocating joining law enforcement for decades.

It sounds like urban gentrification on steroids. It started with "fuck that place - put a highway through it" and ended up with "malls, resorts, and high rent apartments."

The orange bastard really doesn't like it when fascists are defeated in war. Ever notice that he has little praise for the United States defeating the Confederacy? Part of him must hurt every April 9th.

Security theater to play out AFTER taking the hits.

It is because some people accept harm for profit that others do the math and figure eliminating one stops the harm to many...
Deep down, we humans are barely less murderous than chimps. We know better but fail to do better.

That is some fabulous looking work. 🙂👍 Ought to be beautiful for another century or more, if the owner takes care.

Watch what happens when they eventually become casualties. See who complains. Reporting will reveal whether they were volunteers, actual law enforcement, or cosplaying impostors.

Dems really need to stop bringing chess boards to fight club. They continue to redraw red lines and seek reasons to not be confrontational. When the fuck does no mean no?

Happy pride month. LOL you'll always be tired in the airline business. If you're not tired, the schedulers are slacking...

Adding some more from Andra Watkins
@andrawatkins.bsky.social
discussing the coming techno feudalism. My viewpoint is that the regime believes the wrong people have wealth and power. Trump tariffs are an intentional attack on Americans, not other countries.
