citizen eight's gemini capsule
NEW:
03 Feb 2026:
I have until the middle of this month to figure out how I'm going to live. Dropping all financial support of someone without warning is crueler than not supporting them in the first place. I have an article on my substack timed to release on March 5th should I not make it. It's not much, but I hate the idea of leaving behind a boring mystery behind.
I am unwilling to be homeless again, esp with ICE out there ready to use me to fill their quota. I am unwilling to let my chronic illness reset my life again. I am unwilling to start at zero again. I'm too old for this shit. I will allow myself a sliver of hope until mid Feb. If I can't make it work by then, I will embrace the looming darkness and make peace.

I am in America where it feels unsafe to speak freely.
One form of effective propoganda is mixing truths you wish to discredit with wildly outlandish claims.
It's also a way to get things by the defacto censorship of algorithmically meditated visibility.
- The Kim dynasty of North Korea is funded by the west to "prove" to everyone that anything besides hyper-capitalism is doomed to fail. That's why something as old and well understood as farming seemingly can't function under the regime.
- Aladdin IS the stock market. There is no market where supply and demand or even emotional sentiment effects the price of stocks. It's just a bunch of algorithms in a trench coat funneling money to pre-determined winners and losers
- Most NGOs and charities are invested in keeping problems going because if they were solved they'd lose funding.
- ICE deploys stringrays (cell tower spoofing tech) that can interact with our devices even when they're off.

I regret that the psychotic billionaires in my work of fiction are not as reprehensible as their real-life counterparts
I had a book inside my head. I swore I'd get it out before I'm dead.
Now it's out, but it's scattered in dozen notebooks and 5 years of journal entries on my computer. Editing is the real work. Since I face a work-or-die situation, I consider every bit I get to edit and upload here a small victory against my chronic illness and a society that doesn't tolerate economically unproductive people. Thank you for reading.

A few notes on the luxury bunkers that keep popping up
"He looks like the sort of guy who's plan B is to pay a bunch of mercenaries to guard his climate bunker compound without it ever occurring to him that maybe there are some holes in his plan."
The climate change bunker ponzi scheme got a lot of millennial millionaires. Unfortunately for the marks, the promised canned food and sentry guns were never more than IOUs. For most it didn't matter anyway, the angry mobs met them outside their homes, go-bags in hand, ripe for the mugging.
