In this age of technology, ignorance of animal suffering and filthy living conditions is a choice. If you “don’t wanna know”, it’s because you already have an idea of the extreme cruelty of dairy and meat. Please don’t turn away. Learn to cook and eat delicious vegan foods!!

“We’re going to have universal high income.
We’ll basically just issue money to people."
"AI and robots are going to make so much stuff and provide so many services that they’ll run out of things to do for humans."
"Money will stop being relevant at some point in the future."
"AI won’t use human currency. It will care about power and mass: wattage and tonnage.”
ME:
“So just as you’re becoming a multi-trillionaire, money starts to have less value?”
ELON:
“Yeah, pretty much.”
As most of you can probably tell by now, I set this Save Lucy profile up to support the #SaveLucy effort from a different angle: crypto.
The crypto guys have been there for me since the beginning. They have been an essential part of this effort, and some are truly committed to seeing Lucy returned, using their knowledge of something that I know almost nothing about to help in whatever way they can.
I'm a normie. I don't do crypto. But I do appreciate the help.
This is me, Brendan (@brendanmjones), writing. I set up this X (then Twitter) login years ago to keep an eye on some of the jihadi chatter around me. I just repurposed it for the new battle I'm fighting.
To those of you who have reached out with concerns that somebody is trying to profit off Lucy's story, I want to say thank you. You are doing so out of the goodness of your hearts. You are guarding my six. People will try to profit off a story like this, so please stay vigilant.

That's the unique identifier to direct people in the crypto community to where they can support our effort to get my dog back, and hopefully, save others when this is all said and done.
Where do things stand now? I'm feeling very optimistic. I wouldn't be surprised - I'm trying to balance my giddy excitement with sobriety, not wanting to count my chickens before they hatch, but barely able to contain myself - to see Lucy released as soon as this afternoon. We'll see.
What's next after that? I just want to take some time and focus on her. It's been seven weeks in a cell today. We have some catching up to do. When she's ready, and when I'm ready, I want to turn my guns to bear on the fight to #SaveSnuggles. @Herb_Minstrel and I are already thinking about a road trip to Arizona. One dog coming to the rescue of another. One veteran family coming to the aid of another in need.
Then there's the book I'm working on. I've hammered out a few chapters already. Honestly, I'm a man obsessed. I want to make the idea of the state euthanizing Lucy as unthinkable as the idea of the state killing Little Ann, Old Yeller, or Lassie. Pray that I will be up for the telling of her story.
Here's another preview of a part that I have written.
Stay tuned for good news, God willing.
April 20, 1992: George Michael performed at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium, London. His performance of "Somebody to Love" with Queen is regarded by many as one of the greatest live performances of a song. He absolutely nailed it.
The duet between Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines in White Nights (1985) blends ballet and tap, choreographed by Twyla Tharp, a stunning showcase of two dance legends.

At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.
The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter “written” by the doll saying “please don’t cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.”
Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka’s life.
During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.
Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned. “It doesn’t look like my doll at all,“ said the girl.
Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me.” the little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home.
A year later Kafka died. Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:
“Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way.”
