The fact that Apple reportedly sells Apple TVs for $100+ and they’re STILL at a loss should tell you just how shady the smart TV market is. When you buy a Roku or a Smart TV, you’re buying a screen grabber. I’m not kidding. Most modern Smart TVs have a screen monitoring program built in to content match whatever you’re watching or playing (yes, even on external HDMI inputs) and sell that data to advertisers. The reason flat screen TVs have gotten so cheap isn’t because of production costs falling, but rather these companies selling the hardware to you at a loss, and then secretly selling your information and viewing habits to make up the difference. I’m not exaggerating. They’re are guides online on how to disable this screen grabbing software on a per TV-manufacturer basis. I highly recommend you look them up, or simply never connect your TV to the internet in the first place and deny it access to do so.
Just ran into pics from my birthday visit with Zoe in Chico 6/19/2022.
Miss mouse’s house all decked out for my birthday. Included the pink birthday cake that I rescued and brought home for this birthday. And Zoe’s house was decked out, too. Happy Birthday. Even a shot of that awful Air B&B room I stayed at in Nord Ave. popped up.
I should be in Chico tonight. Zoe should be planning my birthday for this year. I have never met Skyler. Never heard of the Chico Sports Club or Lily’s Brazilian Restaurant. I have never met the Hospice Crew: Nurse Alex, Social worker Ralph or Nurse Ruby. ( All of these things happened when I came to be with Zoe during her dying process in Chico)
But, that’s my plan.
The mystery had another plan.
Daniel Ellsberg died today of pancreatic cancer. I learned that he had it and 6 months to live in February or March. Before I learned of Zoe’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis.I heard Daniel Elsberg say on Democracy Now, KPFA, that in fully preparing to die, he fully lived. Daniel’s story was there with me through Zoe’s death process.
So, I’m home, not in Chico. Zoe’s beautiful home is decimated by her Land Lord and her adult grandson.
Zoe is dead.
Her ashes are here.
One of Zoe’s dearest friends e mailed me today asking “Where can I find Zoe’s obituary? I can never talk with my friend again.”
The mystery’s plan is silence. The void.
Zoe’s ashes are dead silent.
End of entry.
Note: The Intuit Indians say there are two plans for every day: My plan and the mystery’s plan.
Zoe had an eight story” house” consisting of glass enclosed shelves that was full furnished with miniature doll furniture. She called it Miss Mouse’s house.
She would decorate it for holidays and for my birthday. Knowing I would not be getting a birthday card or call from her this year, I brought the miss mouse birthday cake home with me.

It's such a shame Steven Universe has become retroactively cringe. Those scenes of White Diamond eye-blasting people would make some rad reaction photos.
one of my favorite things is elves having base 8 math. so you can have Situations™️ when someone in the dragang has a birthday. take for instance this hypothetical
Rayla: I'm so glad my parents and Runaan are back! And just in time for my twenty-fourth birthday!
Callum: your WHAT.
Rayla: My birthday!
Callum: no hold up a second. go back. you're HOW OLD???
Callum: so you were. you were twenty when we first started dating?
Rayla: yes? Is something wrong?
Callum: I was FIFTEEN
Rayla:
Rayla: WHAT?!?!?! How-- who-- what-- I think I'm going to be sick. You seemed older than that! I can't believe I-- so that means now you're--
A theory on the reason why Raphael is just now coming to the Devildom and what it could mean.
Me and @melody-ruskin were talking about how much we wanted to punch Michael what else is new? and we ended talking about Raphael.
OBEY ME NIGHTBRINGER LESSON 16 SPOILERS AHEAD
In case you aren’t caught up to lesson 16 here’s the only thing you need to know. Raphael is coming to visit the Devildom.
And oddly enough Simeon and Luke, seem just as unaware as everyone else. Why else would Lucifer ask them to stay and listen to what he had to say?
It’s especially odd that he’s coming now because Simeon and Luke have been in the Devildom for quite a bit now, over half the season. Luke and Simeon are visiting to see the ceremony for the founding of RAD and to represent the Celestial Realm, but why would Raphael be visiting? Surely two angels are enough to represent the Celestial Realm.
Here’s where the theorizing starts!
Raphael is a stickler for rules and angel morality and is not afraid of enforcing it. He’s been seen chasing the brothers around with a spear for minor offenses in Devilgrams in the OG app.
He’s also incredibly loyal to Michael, choosing to stay with him instead of following Lucifer. Given how close the two were that’s a big deal.
Why go through the bother of sending another angel when he’s got two angels already in the Devildom? Luke himself idolizes Michael, surely he’d be more than willing to share information with him?
Here’s the thing, both Luke and Simeon have spent time in the Devildom and have gotten closer to the brothers. But more importantly they’ve gotten close to the two humans residing there.
I think Raphael is being sent by Michael to spy on Solomon and MC.
Raphael’s introduction video
The biggest reveal here is that Raphael is a hit man.
Unfortunately, this character aspect seems to have been dropped as there is no mention of it outside of his introduction. So I don’t think he’s being sent to kill someone. unfortunately
I do think he’s being sent as an extra pair of eyes. A hit man would be an expert in espionage after all.
Michael makes it very clear in Lesson 13 that he does not like what MC is getting up to, outright threatening them. And promised if they were to go further in their plans they’d make an enemy of the Celestial Realm. And while incredibly odd that this supposed “past” version of Michael knows exactly who we are and our connection to the brothers, we’re not here to talk about that.
Obviously Michael would wanna keep track of the two humans he thinks are siding with a very powerful demon. Heck he may even be wanting to keep an eye on Simeon, who has never been keen on following rules and is/was incredibly close with Lucifer.
So don’t be surprised if Raphael asks to live in Coctyus Hall.
