Thank you to everyone this past month that bought book one of my novel!

If you or anyone you know are into San Francisco #history, I highly recommend the first part of my series America's Last Emperor - covering 1849-1859 in San Francisco. #HistoricalFiction #SanFrancisco

Today's juvenile reaction is brought to you by having to type in the name "Werner Butz".

I have had insomnia for six weeks but I wasn't concerned until tonight when I started writing poetry. I *hate* poetry.

In a world where people let machines think for them, only people who think for themselves will prosper.

We followed no master's whistle or beck,
We wore no collar about the neck:
And even now would death prefer
To the muzzle that saves your pampered cur.
Cur Non?

San Francisco, June 11, 1862
BUMMER.

Darren Mckeeman @darren.mckeeman.net · 2d

I ask in vain - - you do not reply.
Then list to me and f'll tell you why:
Because we were what you would be.
A young republic-entirely free.
Cur Non?

Darren Mckeeman @darren.mckeeman.net · 2d

Say, city fathers, why will you not give
To us as to them the right to live?
To us as well as the battened hound
The right to exist outside the pound?
Cur Non?

Darren Mckeeman @darren.mckeeman.net · 2d

But the mangy slut and her starving pup
That would scour your streets and clean them up
Are not allowed to repose their bones Undisturbed on the paving stones
Cur Non?

Darren Mckeeman @darren.mckeeman.net · 2d

CUR NON?
A GROWL FrOM THE POUND

You suffer the dog of high degree
Unmolested abroad to be;
The spaniel sleek and the glossy hound
Are never housed in the public pound.
Cur Non?

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

We have a creepy stalker in the San Francisco Bay Area who uses these to produce homeless exploitation clips for social media. We are only at the beginning stages of how these glasses will be used to harm people.

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

I have a new essay on my Patreon. It's about not getting the shit beaten out of me when trying to turn the channel to Twin Peaks when I was in jail for hacking.

We get NO government funds but we depend on Fleet Week for most of our yearly revenue. We have to raise $2.7 million by 2027 for our drydock fees!

The government shutdown is a real threat to my volunteer gig at the SS Jeremiah O'Brien. If you have the means, buy a ticket on our cruise next Saturday or Sunday and take a ride on a national treasure.

Stephen Miller is a moron. The growing movement is bipartisan and decentralized. The current president won't stop until blood is flowing in the streets and none of you will believe it until it actually happens.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
