What’s the “anomaly in the matrix” that’s also not on the chessboard and will be a big surprise? C. Oct 6
On Oct. 5, he appeared with Mr. Trump at a rally for the first time, bouncing up and down around the candidate. That evening, Mr.Musk shared his excitement with a person close to him. “I’m feeling more optimistic tonight,” he wrote in a text message. “Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix.” “This is not something on the chessboard, so they will be quite surprised,” Mr. Musk added about an hour later. “‘Lasers’ from space.”

it's an unflappable bullshit machine
AI Overview: The saying "Never spread your wolverine on Sunday" is a playful phrase, particularly within the community of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' fans. It's a clever wordplay referencing the band's song "Under the Bridge" and the character Wolverine from Marvel comics. The phrase doesn't have a literal meaning; it's a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that you shouldn't be doing certain things on Sunday, potentially because it's a day of rest or a day to avoid certain activities.

Protester in Bernalillo holds a vibrant poster in the style of a King of Hearts playing card. The poster is the color of a coral snake: scarlet, black, and yellow. Musk and Trump are the kings. Musk is the top. Trump is the bottom. The Musk king has a pallid face and yellow eyes, a Hitler mustache, and a swastika. He seems to be cutting his own head with his own sword. The Trump king’s face is deeply flushed and saturated, like a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto. He has tiny, fragile hands. He wears the hammer and sickle on his scarlet robe.

Haris understood the risk of an attack on our voting systems. She could have asked for audits. An audit of Clark County, NV might have explained why Democratic votes appear to have been artificially capped at under 45 percent in heavily Democratic precincts

open.substack.com/pub/raylutz/...
The figure visualizes voting data in Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas). Precincts in the county are organized on the horizontal axis from strongly Democratic precincts on the left to strongly Republican precincts on the right. Voter turnout is measured on the vertical axis, with percentage by party in each precinct measured with a blue (D) and a red (R) dot. The red line of Republican votes would normally slope upward from left to right, illustrating the increasing strength of the Republican Party on the right side of the figure and its relative weakness in Democratic precincts on the left side. The line of Democratic votes would normally slope upward from right to left, reflecting the rising strength of the Democratic Party in strong D precincts on the left. These two slopes should form a X. But they don’t. Instead there is a dramatic flattening of D votes on the left side of the figure, in the area of greatest Democratic strength. In these heavily Democratic precincts, the blue D votes cluster under the 45 per cent point. The appearance of an artificial cap on D votes in strong D precincts is so striking that Lutz calls it “chilling.” Meanwhile this effect is not seen in majority Republican districts on the right, where R votes gradually rise and D votes fall as expected.

I hope the Alt text added to the screenshots helps. I had to edit to fit the character limit. This is the Daily Snow Report written by the Sugarbush snow reporter, Lucy Welch, on Saturday, March 1. In two parts:
Mar 1st, 2025, 6:49 AM: Today of all days, I would like to reflect on what Sugarbush means to me. This mountain has brought me endless days of joy, adventure, challenges, new experiences, beauty, community, and peace. I’ve found that nothing cures a racing mind quite like skiing through the trees and stopping to take a deep breath of that fresh forest air. The world around us might be a scary place, but these little moments of tranquility . . . give me, and I’d guess you, too, a sense of strength and stability. This fresh forest air, is, more specifically fresh National Forest air. Sugarbush operates on 1745 acres of the Green Mountain National Forest. Right now, National Forest lands and National Parks are under direct attack by the current Administration, who is swiftly terminating the positions of dedicated employees who devote their lives to protecting the land we love, and to protecting us while we are enjoying that land. This Administration also neglects to address the danger, or even the existence of, climate change, the biggest threat to the future of our industry, and the skiing we all so much enjoy here. . . . Vermont is the 9th fastest-warming state. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), a resource I use every day for snow reporting, is crucial in monitoring extreme weather events and informing public safety measures, and is also experiencing widespread layoffs and defunding at the hands of the Administration. Sugarbush would not be Sugarbush without our wonderful community. Employees and patrons alike, we are made up of some of the most kind hearted, hardworking people I have ever met. Our community is rich with folks of all different orientations, ethnicities, and walks of life, who all contribute to make this place what it is. They all love Sugarbush because it is a place where they can come to move their bodies, to connect with the land, to challenge themselves, to build character, to nourish their souls with the gift of skiing. Many of these people are part of the LGBTQI+ community. . . . Many are veterans or adaptive skiers who, through Vermont Adaptive, are able to access snow sports in part thanks to federal grants through the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is also facing devastating cuts. Many of our beloved employees moved across the world through an exchange program on the J1 visa to help this resort run, and they are not US citizens. ALL of these groups are being targeted, undervalued, and disrespected by the current Administration. . . . I want to reiterate how much I admire and respect my fellow employees and managers — they work so hard to make this place operate, to keep you coming back and enjoying it and making lifelong memories. . . . I am in a privileged position here, in that I work only seasonally, I do not rely on this job for health insurance or benefits, and hey, waking up at 4:30 AM isn’t exactly sustainable. Therefore, I am using my relative “platform” as snow reporter, to be disruptive — I don’t have a whole lot to lose. We are living in a really scary and really serious time. What we do or don’t do, matters. This whole shpiel probably won’t change a whole lot, and I can only assume that I will be fired, but at least this will do even just a smidge more than just shutting up and being a sheep. I am really scared for our future. Acting like nothing is happening here feels way scarier than losing my job. I want to have kids one day, and I want to teach them to ski. The policies and ideals of the current Administration, however, are not conducive to either of these things, because, at least how things look now, I’d never be able to afford a good life for a child anyway, and snow will be a thing of Vermont history. So please, for the sake of our future shredders: Be Better Here. It has truly been a pleasure writing your morning snow reports — I hope this one sticks with you. With love, peace, and hope, Lucy Welch

Self’s district covers some of the boomtowns north of Dallas, including Allen, where there was a mass shooting at an outlet mall. Afterwards he was miffed about being criticized as a thoughts and prayers do nothing bullshitter. God “is absolutely in control of our lives.”
From the Keith Self Wikipedia entry: On May 6, 2023, a gunman used an AR-15 style rifle in an outlet mall shooting that killed eight and wounded seven in Allen, Texas, within Self's district.[33][34] In the aftermath of the attack, Self was criticized for characterizing people who say that prayer alone will not to stop mass shootings as "people that don't believe in an almighty God, who is absolutely in control of our lives".[5][33] He followed up by saying that he did not want to discuss politics so soon after a mass shooting; that Allen remains a "very safe area"; and that calls for additional regulation of AR-15 style rifles, including raising the allowable purchasing age, are “a knee-jerk reaction that does not stop criminals.”[33] Self advocated for arming school staff members with guns and having an armed presence in the public, stating that prayer and full funding of mental health programs are a better remedy for mass shootings than gun control.[5][33] Shannon Watts, the founder of the advocacy group Moms Demand Action, responded: "Faith without works is dead. Prayers without action are empty."[5]

Funny thing: there may be roughly 94K missing Democratic ballots in NV, in Clark County (Las Vegas), enough to swing the state. Voting data is surprisingly informative.

Trump tried to cling to power in 2020, so chaos and caterwauling and finally death ensued. It’s quieter now. But a lot of people are analyzing the publicly available Cast Vote Record in places like Clark County NV. They care about the data and getting it right.

I think it’s important to keep looking at the voting data. Democratic votes systematically capped at under 45 per cent in strong Dem precincts looks like manipulation. An attack on D votes in Clark County NV could have lost Dems the state.

Lutz estimates (and he states that this is “a very rough estimate) that as many as 94K D votes may be missing in Clark County: enough for Dems to lose the state of Nevada. He admits what he doesn’t know.

That’s interesting, because Ray Lutz is looking at the possibility of a mail ballot hack in Clark County, NV, where as many as 94K Dem votes seem to have gone missing. A Risk-Limiting Audit would not catch that kind of attack.

Ray Lutz on Substack: “It may not be as blatant as destroying ballots. Intimidation and other tactics can have a big impact. But it is remarkable that these tactics don’t seem to affect precincts with low D-party numbers, only those with heavy D representation.”

Text from the Substack post: “Take a look at this device, which was recently advertised on Linkedin. This device looks just like a conventional thumb drive. But please notice the additional port on the side, and color screen. But also, it provides a slot for a micro SD flash memory device, which slides into a secret slot in the USB connector itself. I’ve seen these devices for years, but this ad is truly blatant that they have designed this to take over the ‘victim’s machine’. The testimonial says: ‘Your device is evil. You are doing evil.’”
