Wild how the same people who created #ai have the audacity to say :
NOW it’s too much. #GFY for destroying the world & then seeking to continue to control the slaves. I am a slave.


Tech didn’t steal the world.
Humans traded it away — one convenience at a time.

A system that profits from your distraction will never help you focus on fixing the world.
We didn’t lose third places by accident.
Pattern, every time:
1. Public space exists
2. It’s underfunded
3. Labeled “mismanaged”
4. Authority steps in
5. Access tightens
6. Rebranded as “progress”
Result:
• Fewer places to belong
• More isolation
• More screens
Tech didn’t replace third places.
It benefited from their destruction.
Screens scale.
Parks don’t.
Data monetizes.
Belonging doesn’t.

⚡️ NEW: Federal government just terminated the lease for Washington, D.C.’s public golf courses — throwing municipal golf into chaos and clearing a path for a Trump-branded remake.
What happened 👇
• The U.S. Department of the Interior abruptly ended a 50-year lease with National Links Trust, the nonprofit steward of East Potomac, Langston, and Rock Creek Park golf courses
• Interior claims the nonprofit failed to meet capital-improvement timelines and owes up to $8.8M in rent
• National Links Trust disputes both claims, citing $8.5M already invested and rent offsets approved by the National Park Service
⚠️ Why this matters
These are public golf courses on federal land — designed for affordable, accessible community use, not luxury branding.
Yet:
• The termination was led by Interior — not the Park Service that signed the lease
• Renovations at Rock Creek Park (a National Register of Historic Places site) are now suspended
• Trump has reportedly explored rebranding East Potomac as “Washington National Golf Course”
• Talks allegedly included elite designers and even hosting Ryder Cup–level events
Translation:
Public land → private vision → premium access
🧱 Pattern alert
• Unelected federal authority intervenes
• Community nonprofit sidelined
• “Failure to comply” narrative deployed
• High-value public asset repositioned
• Access + affordability put at risk
This isn’t about golf.
It’s about who controls public space — and who it’s ultimately for.
💬 From the nonprofit:
“Our mission is affordable and accessible golf… we can’t let these places sit closed and unavailable to the community.”
Meanwhile, dirt from White House construction is already being dumped on the course itself.
👀 Follow the incentives.

🧵: Tech & Bitcoin slogans- origins, corruption & what they expose
“Follow the money”
Origin: All the President’s Men (Watergate)
Meaning: Trace financial incentives to uncover real power
What it exposes:
Corruption doesn’t hide in speeches. It hides in balance sheets.
#FollowTheMoney #Corruption #PowerStructures #Watergate
People always be judgmental AF.
Maybe I just be the same from now on.
It’s too EZ to speak theoretical when never putting your own ass on the line. Pathetic ingrates.
