the western ideal

Because I've been thinking about this a lot and I think that part of if not the majority of the problems we're dealing with, right now, stem from the fact that the mostly unspoken real "American (Western) Dream" is to be so rich and powerful that you can do and say whatever you want to whomever you want and nobody can Ever hold you accountable for it.


So whenever someone who seemingly Attained that dream is made to face Consequences, even a little bit, it shakes those cultural assumptions at their foundations and everybody panics because they wanted to be untouchable someday!


And if now we're saying they might not get to be, then what's it all for?

comforts in the time of covid

A short list of things

that provide comfort in this time

the time of covid

michael palin and his videos on art and history of art.
- learning a lot of history that i should have learned log ago

donuts
- gotta have sugar

plays and musicals that are being broadcast free
- shakespeare and webber musicals ( and treasure island odd enough )

people talking about warhammer 40k
- perhaps considering worlds far worse is a way of perspective

attempts to get more library cards and access to more books online

the continual remaking and refining of ideas and stories in my mind.

X

Records of the manifestation of the goddess M over time

1900 london west end music hall.  The production of X causes fire and mass psychosis.

1940 new york big band dance hall.  Again production of X causes collapse of building.

1980 los angeles disco club opening.  Goddess manifests and earthquake occurs.

2020 tokyo trance club.  Production of X combining previous productions.
possible olympics cross over?

Every 40 years a goddess manifests and inspires a creation of a club or music
performance that inevitably causes a disaster leading to massive lost of life.

Survivors of the previous events are pulled to the new manifestations and are
compelled to stop the new event.

2060 is the next expected event.

I didnt know who could have suggested that i
would or should attend such a meeting.

The missive had been sent by courier late
in the evening after visiting hours,

very strange and perhaps odd as well.

as i had nothing expected upon my calendar
i saw no reason to refuse such an invitation.

I had heard talk of the SEAS....the Societie
du Expeditiones au Adventures om Scientification.

They funded all sorts of contrary ideas and studies.
Sending teams of people across the globe seeking who
knows what. 

Very Peculiar and challenging to the social order of things.

a report to the space patrol

Archival report on subject to RESTRICTED ACCESS ONLY

CEC SNP 1201
Consortium Exploration Corp
Space Naval Patrol
ship build hull number 1201

AC 538 ship christened on
AC 539 shakedown cruise completed
AC 540-550 assigned to local system patrols
AC 550 assigned to jump lane discovery missions near galactic rim

CLASSIFIED reported missing all hands presumed lost.

following are CLASSIFIED records from ships recorders.

1."are they still following us? "
2. "we cant be sure but the more jumps we make the less likely they will find us."

supposition is that the crew of the ship was running from an overwhelming force of
the enemy fleet they encountered on patrol in the CLASSIFIED systems.

3. "whats the status of the drives?"
4." that last jump did a number on them sir.  Doing our best to effect repairs but we need
a full dock to do it right."

5. "it felt like we went over some sort of turbulence, it almost shook the ship apart ."
6." whatever happened lead us here.  Navigation says we are beyond the rim."

Evidence indicated that the ship was accelerated in jump space by unknown means,
and attempts to replicate the event are inconclusive at this time.

halo effect

the HALO effect 

it took some getting used to seeing the glow around peoples faces sometimes.

the apparent user interface projected a circle around faces and things of interest

for Cassie to choose from.

A_ had altered her optic frames to show her more of her surroundings.

Identities and locations...history of her current positioning.

threat logistics and egressive options.

ways in and out of places.

A_ was very protective of his mothers as he/it put it.

The world was falling faster and faster these days.

Massive population drifts amidst the storm damage cycles.

Cassie had to leave quickly from her homeland...

a tale quickly becoming more common across the globe.

She and her friends brained up the technical specs on A_.

The self aware system overlaying most of the network by now.

She had to run because the "Oligs" didnt appreciate a sizeable precentage

of their wealth getting "lost".  

She still thought the assassins had been a bit much of a response.

A_ got her out ahead of them....and sent a few drones after them in turn.

She and her clan was considered the same as a minor nation state now.
