There are rescuers by this mama dog now. There is a huge new Escalade in front of the dog. There's a drug dealer inside. Let me repeat this for the people in the back. Skid Row is not filled with homeless people. Skid Row is filled with criminals that the city is letting them get rich in.

When T.S. Eliot was asked what he meant with his poem ‘Rhapsody on a Windy Night’ - he said he didn’t know.

I think that was honest. Poetry is a kind of smudged music in language. You generate some thoughts and emotions, and hope they resonate:

This dog that was bred repeatedly on Skid Row was just dumped on Skid Row. Can anybody take in this frenchie? She's about 2 years old, has mange (treatable) and needs to be fixed. Please share and DM me if you can take in this angel in the LA area.

[Gina Bates Ⓥ 𓃟 Pigoneer™. @hilltopgina]

Sadly the BTW giant boars home is slipping away 😔

We need everyone to get on board or this will fail and that doesn't bear thinking about. 🔽

Can you please help @JohnOberg ?

In 2021, Hideo Kojima predicted that a future built entirely around digital media could leave people without access to the content they thought they owned if companies or external events changed how that content was distributed.

“Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, or in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.”

“We will not be able to freely access the movies, books, and music that we have loved. I would be a have-not. That’s what I’m afraid of. This is not greed.”

PlayStation just eliminated physical games meaning it is now impossible to own a game, everything is a rental that can be censored or removed without notice from a central hub

I haven’t bought a console in a decade but this is part of a larger trend I’ve been warning about

AI data centers have sent the price of processors, ram, and hard drives skyrocket as hardware companies prefer selling to AI companies over individual consumers

This means that the average person will no longer be able to own their computing power and will rent it through AI models

Combine that with the fact that you can no longer own software and you have a completely digitized environment with zero means of individual ownership

Sam Francis predicted this in his book Leviathan and It’s Enemies calling it the dematerialization of property which ensures that no middle class emerges

He believed this was a key step towards the Total State

And this puppy is dying in a tent on Skid Row right now. @nithyavraman @MayorOfLA @GavinNewsom @YsabelJuradoLA @HildaSolis you all are murderers.

Finally got to try out Claude Fable, now that it has been re-enabled for (mostly) public consumption. The improvement in this model's code reasoning is very noticeable. I understand, now, why many users were howling when Fable had been disabled due to national security concerns. Which, in turn, make the US security concerns appear quite legitimate.

Reminds me of this post made by @FischerKing64 with regards to the degeneracy happening in public libraries (https://t.co/aNzwsQR2BW) His post was striking. I believed it was an issue, yet it was viscerally unimaginable to me (it's not a problem in my small town, yet). Seeing it documented here, by Savannah Hernandez, makes it really hit.

What are we doing, America?

EXPOSED: Austin’s $125 MILLION dollar library is completely OVERRUN with the homeless.

The last time I came to this library it was so terrifying that I knew I had to come back to expose how dangerous it is for families and children.

Within 2 minutes of visiting, I got stuck on an elevator with a homeless man who was clearly on drugs.

The city of Austin has completely abandoned their duties and the homeless have taken over every floor of this six story, 200,000 sq ft library:

Another America 250 conservation poast for you guys (I'll put all of these in a single article at the end for the home schoolers). Another one of America’s greatest conservation success stories, the restoration of the wild turkey, is largely thanks to American hunters.

Wild turkey, prior to the 1900s, were in 39 states, about 10 million of them. The population totally collapsed because of over hunting and habitat loss. By the 1930s, there were only about 20-30k of them left, and they had been lost in 18 states.

We began to turn the tide thanks to American hunters. America has a federal law, passed in the 1930s called the Pittman-Robertson Act, passed thanks to political advocacy of hunters, called "PR". This is an excise tax on guns and ammo where the funds are sent to your state to pay for wildlife protection, habitat protection, wildlife science, and law enforcement. Normie taxpayers in America largely do not pay for wildlife protection in America, it's hunters, and the system is called "user pay." Hunters are the major funder of wildlife protection in America to this day.

PR dollars were the game changer with wild turkey recovery, allowing for the development of a logistcally complicated technique called "trap and transfer" where state agency biologists would trap remaining wild turkeys using innovative tools like rocket nets and relocated them to suitable habitat where they'd been removed. This conservation innovation was very important because early efforts at releasing farm raised turkeys failed as turkeys need to be wiley and clever to live in the wild.

Which states led the way in bringing back turkeys? Teddy Roosevelt's home state of NY, where the NY Department of Environmental Conservation led through trap and transfer innovations trapping them in Allegheny state park and using them as the source population for the rest of New England. You can visit the marker at the state park where turkey trap and transfer began. Biologist Fred Evans (Mr. Turkey) refined the rocket net with corn bait allowing trap and transfer to be refined.

Missouri's Department of Conservation purchased some private land in the Ozarks in the '50s specifically to bring back Ozark turkey (Peck Ranch Conservation Area), and it is Missouri biologists who developed the cannon net that allowed large scale trapping and transferring. By the 1970s, hunters formed the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) that sends millions to turkey research and restoration focused on protecting 22 million acres of turkey habitat. Today, you can hunt turkey in 49 states.

This dog’s leg was hanging off last night in South LA. We rushed to her to the vet. Sadly, her leg had to be amputated. She was under a bridge in a cage.

A thousand-year-old English oak in Sherwood Forest, the home of Robin Hood, has just died.

Hard not to interpret this as some kind of sign.

[RAW EGG NATIONALIST @Babygravy9]

Reminder: This is what these scumbags believe is "science-based animal care." Immobilising pigs in cages and torturing them for their entire lives. You don't hate these people enough.

[JoeyTuccio @joey_tuccio]

This dog was just found dying on Skid Row and left in a near coma state for 2 days. He was rushed to the emergency vet where he tested positive for cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, MDMA and fentanyl. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING ON A DAILY BASIS.
