Call me alarmist, but in the U.S. I think I see the plan/goals of these horrific Scrooge-like Billionaires:

They are trying to bankrupt us all, take our land and property, and make us live and work in company towns, reside in company housing, and buy exclusively from the company store, to keep both adults and children as indentured servants forever. (They already rolled back Child Labor laws in multiple states.) Anyone who rebels or complains will be imprisoned, to work as slave labor. Imagine what happens to anyone who cannot perform physical labor. Check back in later to see if my dystopian vision is myopic or not. I truly hope to be wrong.

Already, the Federal government has taken away vital services, and they seem intent on destroying public benefits. States are currently not getting disaster funds from FEMA. This is a Five Thousand Alarm Fire.

Fascists did a fantastic job of convincing people that democratic socialism was bad.

They want an extreme form of a Robber Baron economy.

Kristi Noem spoke at RSA today and said she had had a "candid" conversation with tech leaders here in SF earlier in the day. My understanding is they were executives in tech, critical infrastructure, and cyber.

Do you know of anyone who attended? I'm looking for details of the guest list and what the conversation was like. Can keep your identity private. Signal is kevincollier.01, email kevin.collier@nbcuni.com.

Shoutout to the marketing ‘expert’ who mailed a large, battery-powered, LCD-equipped video greeting card to our CEO to demonstrate their innovative approach to ignoring the #ewaste crisis. Bold strategy.

We’ll be sure to reach out if we need help shipping steaks and leather handbags to PETA.

To my fellow #neurodivergent folks with ovaries: you know how your brain and body can work one way when estrogen is the dominant hormone, and a totally different way when estrogen drops? And by your 30s you don't love it but you're sort of used to it, and might even have gotten to a point where you mostly don't blame yourself for it anymore? 🫂

Perimenopause is coming. It can last a decade or more, and begin in your 30s. It can mess with the neuro of it all, too, and *because* you've done so much to work to understand and optimize around your usual hormone cycle you might be less inclined to think it's a hormone thing, and start the blaming yourself cycle all over again.

So just an fyi, and please try to be gentle with yourself. ❤️

Multiple reports and commetary on a horrifying story from Oklahoma City, where 20 federal immigration officials invaded the wrong home, breaking down the door and terrorizing a woman and her three daughters, taking their laptops, phones, and life savings:
