I’ve always heard it called “business as usual”

I still prefer "Scam", "Business as usual" Altman doesnt have the same ring to it...

In the interest of lists, quality and simplicity… I suggest anything from Fermat’s Library [1] mailing list… already curated.

Never heard of this. Thanks!

Really ambitious and really cool, congrats on finishing and sharing!

Getting into the weeds, how are you doing individual voices, ie an an analog synth needs a separate signal path for each note of polyphony with inadvertent and unavoidable interference… which ironically is desirable.


Reading this back and forth so far I think you’re spot on… which leads to this open question, wheres the consolidated stack that makes this accessible?

Also I think the name vetted webrings or just the vetted web is simple enough to be a movement.

As in the vetted web movement.

… gotta start somewhere.


Ah the dehumanizing nature of affluence… a right of passage for those fortunate enough to experience.

The challenge is in how to manage and and maintain the interest, less one falls back into the realm of obscurity or worse be tarnished reputationally so as to never recover.


Theres a great documentary on Goff if anyone is interested.

Trailer looks interesting, doesn't seem to be available anywhere unfortunately.

(COVID interrupted distribution, they decided to redo the edit, and subsequently haven't restarted screenings)

And I'll go out on a limb and say the first person to use a pole resembling a fire pole in the fireman vs stripper debate was probably the stripper!


But pardons only apply to federal crimes… murder is a state offense.


Correct, state charges are mostly pardon proof and there is no statute of limitations on murder.


So ... you're saying that this militia as every incentive to overthrow democratie so that they never get prosecuted, right ?

See where this is going ?


They don't need to overthrow democracy, they just need to use jurisdiction removal to have the state charges placed in federal court, and then appeal it up to SCOTUS who will overturn the decision.


The US couldn't win a war in the middle east with trillions of dollars, thousands of soldiers dead, and tens of thousands substantially wounded. Hasn't won a war since WW2. Is everything going swimmingly? Certainly not. There are 340M Americans, ~20k-30k ICE folks, and ~1M soldiers on US soil. These odds don't keep me up at night. 77% of US 18-24 cohort don't qualify for military service without some form of waiver (due to obesity, drug use, or mental health issues).

I admit, US propaganda is very good at projecting an image of strength. I strongly doubt it is prepared for a civil ground war, based on all available evidence. It cannot even keep other nation states out of critical systems. See fragile systems for what they are.


There are 340 million Americans, but 80 million of them voted for this administration, and another 80 million were not interested either way. Only about 20% of the population voted to oppose it.

If you're imagining a large scale revolt, figure that the revolutionaries will be outnumbered by counter-revolutionaries, even without the military. (Which would also include police forces amounting to millions more.)


I have no confidence in the gravy seals of this country, broadly speaking. What’s the average health and age of someone who voted for this? Not great, based on the evidence, especially considering the quality of ICE folks (bottom of the barrel).

Well, they are entirely Presidential pardon proof, but each state usually has its own pardon provisions. Unlikely to benefit ICE agents as a broad class in any of the places where conflicts over their role are currently prominent, though.


They should charge it as a criminal conspiracy and use the state felony murder statute to go after leadership.
