チャッピーにロジカルな文章書かせると明確でいいんだけど、あいまいな文章を意図的に書きたいとき、それっぽすぎてとたんにチャッピーくささが滲み出る。かなり微妙なにおいなうえに、チャッピーがほぼ完璧ですみたいなことうもんだからそういうもんかって見逃したくなる。ていうかあいまいな文章書かせないほうがいいだけだけど。

The Manipulated Mind by Denise Winn, 1983

Brainwashing, Conditioning & Indoctrination

By breaking down so-called brainwashing to its individual elements, this book shows how social conditioning, need for approval, emotional dependency and much else that we are unaware of, prevent us from being as self-directed as we think; and, conversely, which human traits make us the least susceptible to subtle influence.





Ever since American prisoners of war in Korea suddenly switched sides to the Communist cause, the concept of brainwashing has continued to fascinate and confuse. Is it really possible to force any thinking person to act in a way completely alien to his character? What makes so-called brainwashing so different from the equally insidious effects of indoctrination and conditioning, or even advertising and education? Research findings from psychology show that brain-washing is not a special subversive technique; it is the clever manipulation of unrealized influences that operate in all our lives.

Agency of Fear by Edward Jay Epstein, 2018

President Bush has made the war against drugs the number one issue on the contemporary American political agenda. In this revised edition of his classic book, available for the first time in paperback, Edward Jay Epstein argues that the president has adopted the strategy of his forebear, Richard Nixon, in using the drugs war to blame foreigners for the crisis in America’s cities, and to provide a smokescreen




 for unrelated political activity designed to bolster executive power. 

The drugs crackdown has seen an almost hundredfold increase in the federal budget for narco-politics in the fifteen years since Agency of Fear was first published, while statistics on drug-running have been massaged. Epstein points out that, despite the massive budgets and public relations brouhaha, drug importation, as measured against wholesale price, has in fact grown.

I try to strike a balance between sharing disturbing eyewitness reports from Minneapolis and doing what I can to make sure that we on the side of American Democracy know what the Republican Fascist forces are doing there. These comments are from a Minneapolis activist I trust, who is active on Bluesky. Reports like this are why I keep urging folks to do whatever they can to support the people of Minneapolis.

guys minneapolis is a living hell today.
they've tear-gassed so many people,
tear-gassed a park, beaten people up in
front of me. greg bovino is rolling around
to gas stations and posing in front of
them, trying to cause a riot.

watching sobbing teenagers getting
pulled out of their cars by masked goons
glowering at us through tiny slits in their
fully-masked uniforms, brandishing
weapons at the crowd, and launching
huge amounts of teargas into parks and
businesses to make their escape

@heidilifeldman thank you for what you are doing. My son is a student at MCAD and I've been alternating between fear and anger for weeks. He works pay time in the school library and had a coworker snatched by Ice while he was walking home from work. The guy has worked at the school for over twenty years.

One of my greatest fears is that the public will grow tired of seeing the images and reading the stories and move on. We cannot afford for this to become normal.

Some news, I’ll be departing the PSF as a staff member at the end of this week.

You can read a more formal announcement over at pyfound.blogspot.com/2026/01/e, but I wanted to share on socials as well.

It has been an incredible… nearly 8 years serving as the Director of Infrastructure for the Python Software Foundation, but it is time for me to do something new.

과거에는 요리 배우는 방송이 있었다. 냉장고에서 아무렇지 않게 처음 듣는 식재료가 나오는걸 보고 저런 표정을 지었지. 그래서 그런지 흑백요리사는 저런 표정까지는 안지어진다. 애초에 그것이 TV쇼고, 엔터테인먼트라는 전제가 머리속에 깔려있기 때문일 것이다. 그것은 내가 사는 세상이 아니다. 마찬가지로, 근래에 흥행하는 소위 생활밀착형 리얼리티쇼도 그러하다. 일상생활을 다룬다고 하고 리얼하다고 이야기하지만 한편으로는 저것은 쇼다. 나와 다른 세상이다. 라는 생각이 머리 속에 쳐져있다. 마치 동물원의 원숭이를 구경하듯 말이다.

| Decolonizing The World (w/ Amin Husain) | The Chris Hedges Report

"The most important struggle against settler colonialism today is the struggle for Palestine. The genocide has, on the one hand, raised public consciousness to expose the Zionist project for what it is — a racist, apartheid system where the indigenous people are dispossessed and exterminated. But this consciousness has failed to alter the iron support of Western governments for Israel."

Had a crystal that wasn't starting consistently. Asked on StackExchange and realized I was missing a 1M ohm resistor in parallel with the crystal. I do not have a 1M ohm resistor so I just put a pinkie on each side of the crystal. It worked beautifully
