Anyone else’s phone suddenly takes forever to load apps and the battery draining really quickly? It’s been happening since about a week ago and I have a pretty new phone too.

What if the multiverse is really just our collective minds connected by physical reality? So, each mind is its own universe and physical reality is the plane in which we connect those realities.

Yall thinking RizzBot is funny but it’s collecting data on human behavior responses. They sell that data to companies who will train/socialize AI robots that have an allegiance to corporate elites. #AI #robots #corporatism #tech #rizzbot #sociology

I believe as Uranus Gemini progresses through its degrees, conflict evolves from siblings to neighbors, from cousins to countrymen, and lastly fellow humans and neighboring countries. By the end of this Uranus Gemini transit, we will likely see the climax of a Third World War. #uranus #gemini #ww3

As Gemini energy merges into Cancer, we’ll see a radical restructuring of the geopolitical landscape—we’ll enter an era of decolonization & fallen western empires; a rise in Africa & Global South. A rise in socialism, communes, and collectives as imperialism, capitalism and colonialism collapses.

Go watch the last scene of Andor season 2, episode 7 ‘The Messenger’. That’s where we are currently at on this timeline. #andor #antifascist #america #stormtroopers #fascism

You are right 💚 Filler episodes do originate from anime but has evolved and manifested in various other mediums. They were originally used by writers to avoid overtaking a manga’s narrative but we can find examples in Breaking Bad, GoT, Doctor Who, and Supernatural. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...

love you but language evolves, especially in translation and i feel both meanings are valid in the right context 🥺

Let’s talk about how slang used to take a generation to evolve and now it takes weeks. Studies have show LLMs trained on human languages struggle to keep up with how quickly we develop new slang. Slang develops primarily among the youth and marginalized groups outside of the mainstream. #ai #slang

Slang has always been used as a language of resistance to authority. With elites controlling AI and LLMs that now flood the internet, we will evolve to rely on key slang words, used in appropriates contexts, that will express our authentic identities in ways AI and imposters will do erratically.

Fuck, man. I just read that people are now selling AI prompts to people who are too stupid/lazy to think of their own prompts. Critical thinking will be dead in a generation.

I’m rewatching Dexter and it’s so clear how much this show influenced Mr. Robot—particularly the monologuing antisocial anti-hero. But, it’s most evident in the last scene of Dexter’s season 1 finale.

‘Homogeny’ and ‘monoculture’ are not interchangeable terms. But, both operate on the principle of uniformity at the expense of diversification. We know what happens when people inbreed for generations and we know what happens when we rely on a single crop that is more susceptible to disease.

To cite history, we have the Habsburg Royals who inbred to maintain political and economic power. And, we have the Irish famine/genocide perpetuated by the British Empire to maintain political and economic power. Homogeny and monoculture are quite literally antithetical to evolutionary life.

Damn, South Park really is the ‘political cartoon’ of the contemporary times. Do y’all know what we call the classic format of political cartoons now? Memes.

MAGA Republicans criticizing Texas Dems for leaving the state to stop illegal gerrymandering while Republicans left Congress to avoid voting on the release of the Epstein list says everything you need to know. #maga #trump #epstein #texas

Astrocartography related, I think I would greatly benefit moving away from the energy that my natal chart experiences in Houston. It can best be summed up as an energetic pressure cooker. The longer I’ve lived here, the more tense my environment has felt, and it’s suffocating. #astrocartography

Trump is going deeper into sunk cost fallacy with this Epstein coverup to the point that I believe it will be the main catalyst behind his dictatorship. Trump’s goal was to leave a legacy he’d be admired for. Do you think he’ll be satisfied going out like this? He’s gonna force the plot.

If World War 3 does pop off, I don’t see America winning. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the moment in history where America gets invaded and finally gets punched in the fucking mouth.

In Alanis Morisette’s song ‘Ironic’ the first line is, “an old man turned ninety-eight”, which is a very straightforward, unironic statement to begin the song with, thus making it perfectly ironic within the context of the entire song. Genius.

Sydney Sweeney being a closeted MAGA Republican and appearing in American Eagle eugenist ads is up there with Elizabeth Moss being a Scientologist. They’re both white women who acted in The Handmaid’s Tale and yet still involve themselves with cults 🤷🏽‍♂️

Conspiracy theory: Nintendo is using dark money to interfere with Luigi Mangione’s court case in order to protect Mario & Luigi as their intellectual property. We’re in cyberpunk dystopian times (sans neon) so let’s not rule it out! #luigi #mangione #nintendo

I think people are misinterpreting this wonky headline. The bombshell story CBS is reporting is that the Epstein jail tape the public got IS missing time and the FULL video exists. The FBI and DOJ have it. So when Bondi said the missing minute is normal, she lied. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...

cbsnews.comThere was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source saysFBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

We still excited when #Pluto #Aquarius things happen? -Global Tesla riots -masses become unified around Trump/MAGA Epstein cover up -astronomer CEO+head of HR’s affair exposed to entire internet/world -Tea app leak exposes “secret” discourses and all of their users to internet #astrology

-growing support for Palestine around the world -growing disdain for state of Israel around the world -forgot to mention Luigi Mangione Are there anymore events yall can think of?

Astrocartography experts!! Moving to your Jupiter/DS line… thoughts? I don’t know if it matters but my Jupiter is in Scorpio. And, my Moon/ASC are in Sagittarius. #astrocartography #jupiter #DSC #astrology

White settlers in Hawaii are actually annoying af. I had someone try to correct my pronunciation of the island ‘Kauai’ because they thought I was referring to the island of… ‘Hawaii’ 🙄 Like, calm down. You’ve only lived there for ten years.

I have a Cancer Mercury rx and my inner monologue is constantly talking. I know some people don’t have an inner monologue. I’m curious if there is any astrological indicators that could point to this. #astrology #mercury #retrograde

Can we create a new genre called “COVID Lore” that takes place between 2020-2023? For example, Ari Aster’s Eddington, Louise Erdrich’s The Sentence, and HBO’s The Franchise would be “COVID Lore”. I use “Lore” because of the pivotal shift into a post-truth world this era gave us.
