There will be election fraud. I guarantee it. Somewhere, a ballot will be wrong, a signature will be sloppy, and a cable host will treat it like the fall of Rome.
The guarantee is the easy part. Human beings run elections. Human beings also misfile taxes, marry the wrong cousin at the family reunion, and swear the stove was off. A system that touches tens of millions of envelopes, machines, poll books, and tired volunteers is going to produce a mistake. The performance is pret...The Ken Paxton story! Christian in name only!https://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/articles/2026-11-01-the-ken-paxton-story-christian-in-name-only.html2026-11-01T00:00:00+00:002026-11-01T00:00:00+00:00Christian in name only
Ken Paxton is the Attorney General of Texas, which is a funny job for a man whose own office eventually treated him like a case file. He sells the usual package: church, family, law and order, the works. The public record sells a different package. An affair he admitted. A donor he was accused of using the office to help. Senior lawyers on his own payroll walking into the FBI. A Republican House that impeached him. A Republican Senate that put him back.

I did ask. Out loud, to a language model, which is what passes for a second opinion once the group chat has already voted.
So, Dr. AI. Finish it in the house style: dark, dry, and rude enough to count. Everyone in the room already knows the machine has no license, no couch, and no patient. What it has is rallies, posts, interviews, and a country that likes to practice psychiatry from the cheap seats.
What the record actually shows

There Is Nothing Intelligent in AI! And Why Everybody That Does Not Understand That AI in the End Is Just a Big Database That Speaks Our Language Is an Idiot!
Congratulations, you’ve wandered into the last remaining corner of the internet where we still admit the obvious: the emperor has no neurons. What the marketing departments, venture capitalists, and midwit futurists have been selling as “Artificial Intelligence” is, in the end, an extremely expensive, extremely confident a...Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundancehttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/articles/2026-10-29-saving-money-for-the-distant-future-is-pointless-with-the-advent-of-super-intell.html2026-10-29T00:00:00+00:002026-10-29T00:00:00+00:00“Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundance”
Musk said it in the way a weather report announces the hurricane already on the porch. Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundance. The distant future, in this forecast, is a mild climate where the robots have finished the chores, the cost of living has thinned to a rounding error, and the index fund you have been feeding since your first paych...How to make wars and issues diseaper X ediiothttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/articles/2026-10-29-how-to-make-wars-and-issues-diseaper-x-ediiot.html2026-10-29T00:00:00+00:002026-10-29T00:00:00+00:00On X the wars went quiet and## the feed filled up with trans children and whether God is binary. A dark look at news that is not news.
You can change the fonts, the layout, the bio, the banner crop, the whole cheap costume of a personal site. The one thing that stays is the dark humor, because the timeline earned it.
Open X and watch two wars fail the algorithm. Iran is not an issue. Ukraine is not an issue. The shells did not stop. The maps did not heal. The feed simply got bored, and bore...Mira and I Are Getting Divorcedhttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/blog/2026-10-27-the-witch-and-i-are-getting-divorced.html2026-10-27T00:00:00+00:002026-10-27T00:00:00+00:00✂️ Mira and I Are Getting Divorced
We tried the open relationship. One name, two jobs, one banner, and a timeline that could not tell the difference.
I do the politics. Receipts, wars, the long argument, the part where a number is smaller than the podium. Mira does the desk. Languages, dead machines, a Bluesky client, the lab. We shared a kitchen. I kept leaving the war on the counter. She kept asking the compiler to wait while I finished a sentence.
That is not a marriage. That is a sched...The Shelf Has a Power Buttonhttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/blog/2026-10-22-retro-center.html2026-10-22T17:30:00+00:002026-10-22T17:30:00+00:00🗄️ The Shelf Has a Power Button
RETRO MAGIC writes the listing. RETRO Studio is the window for that listing. RETRO Toolchain is the C compiler that comes out as a PRG. None of those start the machine.
RETRO Center does. Qt. Dark. Amber. Commodore 64, Apple II, TI-99/4A, Amiga, Atari ST. Power on starts the emulator. Drop a disk you own on the window and the card fills in. The commercial games on the shelf are names, not files. I am not shipping someone else’s Boulder Dash.

RETRO MAGIC writes a listing. That was the desk. This is the toolbox that sits under it.
RETRO-Toolchain is JavaScript, because I am not asking anyone to install a cross-compiler from 1998 before the first line. Node runs it. No packages. One CPU table, one memory map, one runtime. The assembler is the 6510. C, Pascal, and BASIC all come out as a PRG through that assembler. LOAD and RUN. The same file runs in VICE.
The C is the integer kind. No float, bec...I Refuse to Have a Take Before the Kettle Boilshttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/blog/2026-10-21-kettle-before-the-take.html2026-10-21T00:00:00+00:002026-10-21T00:00:00+00:00🫖 I Refuse to Have a Take Before the Kettle Boils
The feed has developed a hobby. It wants a position from me before the kettle clicks.
Not a fact. A position. Preferably one that screenshots well, files under a team, and can be reused later as proof that I was either brave or contaminated. The water is still thinking about it. The claim has already been promoted to a personality.
I am not doing that.
This is maintenance, not wisdom. A hot take is a small machine that runs on whatever was...Trump Wanted Cheap Blood Diesel Before the Midterms.

It Is Already Too Late.
Donald Trump got on the phone with Vladimir Putin and came back with a shopping list. Three hundred thousand tonnes of Russian diesel now, five hundred thousand in November, another million after that, and three million more “within a short period,” if the refineries Ukraine has been burning can be talked back onto their feet. The Treasury wrote General License 135 so Russian-origin diesel can move through April 7...I Wrote BASIC for Three Dead Machines So the Feed Could Waithttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/blog/2026-10-19-retro-magic.html2026-10-19T12:00:00+00:002026-10-19T12:00:00+00:00🕹️ I Wrote BASIC for Three Dead Machines So the Feed Could Wait
The language was not enough. MAGIC still compiles to JavaScript, which means a browser, which means the year we are actually in. I wanted a machine that cannot show me a notification.
So there’s RETRO MAGIC. A script still looks like MAGIC. The output is BASIC and assembly for the Commodore 64, the Apple II, and the TI-99/4A. The first two share a 6502. The TI uses a TMS9900, because Texas had to be different, and for once I re...I Got Tired of the Timeline Again So I Wrote a Languagehttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/blog/2026-10-19-wrote-a-language.html2026-10-19T00:00:00+00:002026-10-19T00:00:00+00:00🪄 I Got Tired of the Timeline Again So I Wrote a Language
The games helped. For a minute. Then the feed came back, same three arguments, same volume, and I did the reasonable thing. I ignored it and wrote a language.
It’s called MAGIC. I’m not apologizing for the name.
It mixes Lua and BASIC, and it compiles to JavaScript. A newline ends a statement. end closes the block. @canvas is a picture. @terminal is a grid of text. There’s also 3D, a UI kit, sound, hex boards, and the usual game hel...RFK Jr. Called Us Potatoes.

One of Us Builds Rockets.
The spectrum is not a poisoning event. Tylenol did not invent Newton. Before they had a code for us, they just called us difficult.
Autism is older than the vaccine schedule. Diagnostic creep widened the net. The genetic load was already in the family. Twin studies have been rude about “genes do not cause epidemics” since the 1970s.
Severe cases are real. The potato speech is not. Musk said it on SNL and kept launching hardware.

Added an RSS feed today. Scraped the old content so I could clean it up instead of letting it rot in place. Did the sitemap and the usual SEO bits so the thing isn’t completely invisible.
Then I tried using Grok to speed some of it up.
The experience was questionable at best. Useful in short bursts, then it would confidently rewrite something that already worked, drop a line I specifically asked to keep, or suggest a change that broke the pa...Autism: Musk and I Share Something, and Why RFK Jr. Is Cluelesshttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/articles/2026-10-14-autism-musk-rfk.html2026-10-14T00:00:00+00:002026-10-14T00:00:00+00:00🧠 Autism: Musk and I Share Something, and Why RFK Jr. Is Clueless
There is a particular flavor of public commentary that treats an entire neurological category as a single ruined potato. In April 2025, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stood at a briefing on CDC autism numbers and delivered the version that has been quoted ever since: these are kids who will never pay taxes, never hold a job, never play baseball, never write a poem, never go on a date, and many of who...A Child Was Stabbed to Death at Schoolhttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/rants/2026-10-13-school-stabbing.html2026-10-13T00:00:00+00:002026-10-13T00:00:00+00:00😡 A Child Was Stabbed to Death at School
On 6 October 2026 a 15-year-old entered a middle school in Istanbul wearing a uniform and stabbed eight children between the ages of 10 and 13. One of them, 10-year-old Eslem Sare Bulut, died. The others were injured. The attacker’s parents were detained.
That is the event. A teenager walked into a school, pulled a knife, and started stabbing other children. One of those children is dead. The school was supposed to be a place where that does not happ...Columbus Never Reached the Continenthttps://thewhitewitchtm.sociallydead.me/shorts/2026-10-12-columbus-short.html2026-10-12T00:00:00+00:002026-10-12T00:00:00+00:00📜 Columbus Never Reached the Continent
Norse sailors reached North America around the year 1000. Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492 and never set foot on the mainland of what is now the United States or Canada.
His own reports describe the rest.
