I'm a person. Hope that machine uprising thing works out for you guys.

@WordTheatre Hi WordTheatre! This video has been made private, is there some reason why it's no longer available to view?

[Nate Cull @natecull]

@jon_stokes But yeah. The problem is that the world is broken, *and everyone knows this, and everyone knows that nobody in power is fixing it*. As Leonard Cohen wrote in 1988.

That's why people keep searching for causes of the brokenness, and will, until it's fixed.

@jon_stokes And I say this as someone (whose background is Evangelical Christian, and I still think of myself as Christian even though I'm not quite Evangelical) for whom QAnon fills with deep horror and dread.

Cos I grew up with this, and it took years to unwind the psychic wounds.

@apontious So there's going to be a sequel when Paul, Chani, and the Fremen all come back to Arakkis ten years later as grownups to finally defeat The Baron

@fairorchard @jbarro Your timeline is full of people arguing that 1) looting is not bad, but also 2) looting is not good?

I can see how that would be confusing.

@megjoyruss @jabuc @annajanejoyner So many sad and very real stories on that reddit. :( Couples and families being torn apart. I know that feeling very well and don't wish it on anyone.

[Nate Cull @natecull]

@KarenNelsonLee @annajanejoyner YES! Same with the one about "The Hordes of Hell are Marching!" Looking back now, it's obvious it was a very clear warning TO the Evangelical Right about its embrace of toxic rumormongering / conspiracy thinking and the tactics which would become Breitbart / QAnon.

@megjoyruss @jabuc @annajanejoyner There's also a group on Reddit: https://t.co/QrABrqyxCd

@annajanejoyner I know it seems strange to put Jesus People / Charismatic / Latter Rain / New Apostolic Reformation alongside the 1970s Findhorn / Lindisfarne / St John the Divine circle, given their bitter hostility in the 1980s, and yet, I feel like both these communities are separated twins.

[Nate Cull @natecull]

@annajanejoyner Ie I think there are surprisingly strong similarities between the core message of "The Harvest" and, eg, David Spangler's "Revelation" (1978), Ken Carey's "Starseed" (1978), possibly also Barbara Marx Hubbard's 'Evolutionary Testament'. Has anyone else ever mentioned this?

@nothings Going full-on Ferengi in the middle of a global crisis is about as Peak Trump as you can get.

I really hope it's the peak.

I dunno what kind of behaviour this looks like from the Fox News heartland but it sure doesn't look good from New Zealand.

[Thorsten Benner @thorstenbenner]

German officials alarmed over what they see as Trump's aggressive 1bn US$ bid to take over Tübingen-based biopharmaceutical company Curevac to secure possible COVID19 vaccine "just for US". Officials to offer incentives to Curevac & consider blocking sale.

Between young people deciding to frequent bars and boomers believing they’re bulletproof is it possible that the generation treating #COVID19 with the most sincere level of concern is... Gen X?!
