A timely one just as quirky: the Pentagon Pizza Report uses Google "busy-ness" charts to predict destabilizing global events

Pizza activity spikes just before reports of Israel attacking Iran

The Pentagon Pizza Report tracks pizza place activity near the Pentagon. From the Guardian: The timing of Israel’s plan to attack Iran was top-secret. But Washington pizza delivery trackers guessed…

Broadly speaking, the 3.5% number is a metric for the collective organizing capacity needed to get those kinds of numbers without the internet, when you're working with phone trees and paper phonebooks at best — and even then, it's 3.5% in the streets for a week straight. Without the internet, getting those numbers generally implied a meaningful political program, a lot of community political education work, and an actual plan.

One of the lessons of the protests of the last decade was that the internet lets you get those numbers way more easily, but does not help at all when it comes to getting those people to have a unified belief in what happens next. You may be able to take a government down, but all you've done is create a power vacuum, and you do not necessarily have any say in what fills it.

One in every 70 Americans was on the streets yesterday and it’s not on the NYT front page 24 hours later.

I am joining the #NoKings protest on Saturday.

Why?

Because when a threshold of 3.5% of the population engages in a non-violent protest, the result is (consistently) major change.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world

Research featuring Carr Center's Erica Chenoweth. Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change. "In 1986, millions of Filipinos took to the streets of Manila in peaceful protest and prayer in the People Power movement. The Marcos regime folded on the fourth day.

“When we internalize the belief that nothing can change, we stop demanding change. When we accept corruption as normal, we stop fighting it. When we dismiss documentation of wrongdoing as pointless, we give wrongdoers exactly what they want: permission to continue unchecked and with no record of their actions.”

Grateful for @molly0xfff’s work every day, but especially today: https://www.citationneeded.news/it-matters-i-care/

It matters. I care.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

I love this tree because it’s a reminder that you can still live a full life after a disaster:

SignalEleven Jun 6

@katemorley you can live a full life, and the marks of the disaster can make you look extremely cool, if you're like that tree. What an absolute badass of a tree! Awesome.

@katemorley It pretty much became three trees even!

@katemorley It looks like a very strong Troll, lying on his back, his legs stuck under the, ehm soil?, his arms hold up to reach something he can grip to get him out of there.

@katemorley I tried counting how many times this tree has fallen down and retried growing. I lost count.

@katemorley We have a fallen apple tree that refuses to give up. It still provides apples for the deer.

...and the ones who came before us lay the fertile ground upon which we are able to grow.
Nurse Logs are awesome.

@katemorley Love this. Endless lessons to be learned from trees.
