I detest most movies that come out these days but I am pretty excited about the “Homestead” movie from Angel Studios that is coming out on December 20th. I might even go see it that night 😅

Amid chaos, ex-Green Beret joins prepper compound; love grows, truths arise, and a community unites.

I enjoyed the “Black Autumn” book series the movie is based on. #prepper

On my normie phone I occasionally get SMS messages from some foreign number obviously scamming about how my package has been delayed at customs. I really want to troll them and waste their time by saying that I was expecting a kilo of cocaine and asking how much bitcoin would it take to get it released. But the phone is tied to my identity so my little joke would probably get me raided by some misguided federal agency who didn’t share my sense of humor

By and large I love Signal Messenger but I don’t like how it handles ‘reacts’ — I’ll often get a notification that I’ll ignore because I’m on my phone but working on something but then I can’t find who reacted what to what

I’ve been thinking a bit about so called #psyops and how to better inoculate my thinking from manipulation It seems to have two parts: 1A) Things spontaneously happen Or 1B) Someone causes things to happen while making it seem spontaneous And 2) Various people/organizations spin 1A/B to fit a desired narrative or at least align with a certain worldview Regardless of 1A or 1B, it seems the pivotal part is how 2 is handled. 1B is probably easier to predict and shape but 1A could be just as impactful. Does giving attention to an 1A/B event, even if to refute the mainstream spin, play into the hands of 2 by giving the ‘fire’ its ‘oxygen’? #asknostr Specifically thinking about judicial decision about guy on subway, a high attention CEO murder story, and recent #drone confusion. These each seem important in some way but also a distraction from other, more important issues.
