Been thinking about something that happened in my life that, in retrospect, turned out to be a major pivotal moment.

June 21, 2003- we were waiting in line at a Borders bookstore for the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Next to us in line was a teenage girl who went by the name Ica- her real name was Jessica, but she didn’t want to be called Jessie or Jess. We had a brief coversation, and she told us that she was an amateur manga artist. We were also thinking about drawing manga (at the time), which led her to tell us about a website called Keenspace, which was a free webcomic host anybody could use.

We checked out the site soon afterward, and discovered Pokémon X, the very first Pokémon sprite comic (as far as I can tell). While we were vaguely aware of people using video game graphics already (I have some very old sprite sheets from the Pokémon Zeo forums, dating back to May and early June of that year), it wasn’t until we e-mailed the creator of Pokémon X that we learned how these sprites were extracted...

ROMs and emulators!

Suddenly a whole new world opened up to us. We could play so many new games now. The classics, forgotten gems, games we’d longed to own but could never afford, and some we’d never even heard of! It didn’t take us long to discover all sorts of titles, ranging from the early arcade games to the Game Boy Advance.

The whole idea behind ROMs and abandonware taught us about digital piracy, and the philosophy behind archiving media in general. I’m a firm believer in keeping media that’s no longer available to buy direct from the copyright holder accessible to those who want it.

I’m sure it didn’t take us long afterward to discover that you could download, listen to, and remix video game music, which is what made us interested in making our own. Which in turn led us learning about sample libraries and how to recreate the sound of the music we loved.

All this served to inspire many of our ideas to this day. So in a roundabout way, I think that moment changed the course of our lives.

What’s your name: Jess(ica)

Sun sign: leo but like, just barely 😂 idk what being a cusp means but i'm one of those, like first day of leo

The last song you listened to: i haven't listened to any music today except for one of those musical comedians, this one was about a guy whose friend was flirting with his dad and it was a banger lmao, twas hilarious

What are you wearing right now: the practical all black outfit i've been wearing (unfortunately) for most of the last 3 weeks as i work backstage crew for a musical. usually i change between work and the theater, but my sister starts a new job today which means there will be commute time added as she comes to get me, instead of her being here right at 5, so we won't have TIME to go home and change and get food before we have to head to the theater, so i'm just cutting out the middle man and wearing it all day. this is the third weekend of performances though, show closes sunday, so it's the only time i'll have to.

How tall are you? 5’8

Piercings? only ears, and i don't wear earrings very often, really only for special occasions

Tattoos? i've got one tattoo, as a memorial for my dad who died in 2017. it's a snippet of lyrics from one of the songs he wrote, behind my left ear. i'm planning on getting a memorial tattoo for my grandmother who died in november(?? i think) but we can't currently FIND the drawing she did that i was gonna get. so. if we ever find that again, i'm gonna get it on my hip.

Glasses or contacts? contacts, all day almost every day for about 20 years now, i put them in before i even get out of bed in the mornings. i hate not having peripheral vision in glasses.

Last drink: water yum yum

Last thing you ate: a chicken and cheese quesadilla and a banana/strawberry smoooooothie

Favorite color: big fan of purple

Any pets? not any of my own. had cats and a dog growing up, and had a rat for a few years a while back, but they have all since died 😅 i'm not inclined toward all the upkeep required for larger pets, so no cats or dogs if i have to actually take care of them entirely myself, and i would be down to get another rat or two, but my sister was DEVASTATED when Freya died and refuses to be traumatized by any more pets with short life spans aldkfjg. so no more rats lol.

Do you have a crush on anyone? nope uwu

Favorite fictional character: currently i am deeply fixated on Declan Lynch, somebody send help

A movie you think everyone should watch: uuuuhhhhh A Christmas Carol, the musical version with Kelsey Grammer?? first thing that came to mind, very random 😂 but that version is a banger, i love the music, clearly the superior adaptation of the story

A book you think everyone should read: mmm gonna throw darts at the wall and say Two Dark Moons by Avi Silver, cuz i read it fairly recently and enjoyed it a lot?? idk, i want there to be a fandom for that, i went looking on tumblr for stuff about it and found a grand total of like two posts and was very disappointed lol. somebody else go read it so i'm not alone XD

The last place you traveled: i don't go anywhere aldkfgh. i think the last place i went waaasssss alabama? Mobile maybe?? fuck i don't remember, we went to the Winona Judd concert, wherever it was.

Something you’re looking forward to: strike for this show i'm working 😂 probably the first time i've ever looked forward to strike (the process of disassembling a show's set and clearing out the theater and dressing rooms, huge ordeal) but after dealing with these obnoxious fucking difficult to maneuver set pieces for the last month, i think i will greatly enjoy reducing them to piles of wood and screws.

[sourkitsch]

hiii i have a question :) if a person (me) were to theoretically be in boston, this wednesday perhaps, with a few hours to potentially utilize before a flight, which art museum would those hours be best spent in? you seem to have expertise on this topic. thank you 😌 also i voted for the first option in your poll but i think wandering and maybe getting a piercing sounds equally compelling

Hiiiii omg! If you’re going to go to one museum in Boston I would recommend the MFA! You might not be able to do the whole thing while you’re there, but I literally just saw Jess T. Dugan’s Coupled last weekend & it made me tear up it was really wonderful, especially for that specific gallery space!! Otherworldly Realms is also an exhibition currently up that I found really fascinating as an exploration of western myth through a Chinese lens! Lots of stuff I could say about that one tbh. Their permanent collection is pretty good as well! Also, it’s much easier to get to than something like the ICA or Fogg or Sargent Murals, it’s pretty centrally located in Boston and has parking/ easy T access/ lots of rideshare options around. I will say theres not a lot of food in the area so you might want to eat before unless you’re ok with the museum cafe!

#I’m absolutely the right person to ask about this haha #I was thinking last time that there are galleries in that museum I could like. give tours in I’ve spent so much time there

[hacked-by-jake]

I feel like Jessy would have told us if that were the case, also I think Jake just doesn't like Phil very much, aside from the flirting, because he invited to Duskwood and Jake sees DW = Danger, and Jess(ica)y's case because we're so friends with her that we may be compelled to go to her, I don't know, maybe I'm just living in happy denial _(:3 」∠)_ also Jake knows we're smart, if he did the number thingy, he did it on purpose and I don't like that 🥲

Yes, I can definitely agree with you, I doubt that they were a couple, it just doesn’t make much sense. Sure, the hints we have are strange, but I don’t think we should really believe in it. I mean, there was never anything mentioned in that direction or anything like that, and then insert that, I don’t know, I don’t think Everbyte would.

And I mean, Jake’s not a hard guy to recognize now, I think at least the others might have said something about it. Especially Dan probably would have done it.

I find it strange, I can’t deny that, but in general I don’t believe that Everbyte would include it. I hope so. 😅😫

Oh man, even if I don’t believe it, it still scares me.😭😂

Chloe Hart Q&A

@/chloesjhart on Instagram, 10 December 2022

Some of the questions asked (Chloe confirms that “a few”, implying at least three, are sick as of the moment):

Q: Fav music genre? A: Apart from musical theatre, of course, it would be Country music. Specifically, the band Rascal Flats — they're, like, my favourite band ever. Um, but in terms of like, modern music [chuckle] sometimes somebody would play something at warm-up and I'll be like, [excited tut] what musical is this from? As like, a joke — um, 'cause I just- I don't really listen to contemporary music.

Q: Favourite Christmas film? A: You can't just pick one! So - I have a few. Um, obviously Home Alone 2 is one of them. Um, After(?) Christmas is one. Um... and one of my new favourite ones is The Christmas Chronicles, which is a Netflix film, um, which is good — and I love Jingle Jangle and, um, I love Miracle On 34th Street — like, the one with Mara Wilson. Um, yeah! And I also really like The Princess Switch [chuckle] with Vanessa Hudgens! So silly!

Q: What's your favourite thing about touring? A: I think it's probably that we essentially have a sleepover every night with my friends, 'cause we share digs most of the time. Um, its basically like having constant sleepovers, like we're all - all of the queens are sharing with one other queen over Christmas, so I'm sharing with Leesa (Tulley), Jen(nifer Caldwell) is sharing with Nat(alie Pilkington), Casey (Al-Shaqsy)'s sharing with Harriet (Caplan-Dean), Jess(ica Niles) is sharing with Grace (Melville), and Becca (Wickes)'s sharing with Alana (Robinson), and so we're all sharing with another person. It just feels like constant sleepovers!

Q: Do you have an updated Aragon costume? A: My costume is being altered, not updated! I have the most up-to-date Aragon costume, um, and it's just being slightly altered size-wise, um, because my body has changed slightly due to lots of gym and stuff, so!

Q: Worst show you've ever had? A: [chuckling] On Six? Um, I don't know if it's the worst show, but when I was in Coventry, um - I haven't been ill very much actually on the show— this is only the second time I've been off ill. Um, but when I was in Coventry, it was the first time, and, um, I had a sickness bug on the Tuesday. And I went back to work on the Wednesday, and... I don't remember the show! I honestly — I came off stage and I was like, "I don't remember doing any of that, it just happened," and I was completely out of it. And then I was off again the next day because I was just — I just came back too soon. So I think that was probably the worst because I don't know what I did! [chuckles] Everyone said I did alright but I- [sighs] God know what happened.

Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years time? A: Hopefully with a child or two and working as a casting director!

Q: How did you and Ellie (Haffenden, the dep stage manager of Six West End) meet? A: We initially met on the first day on rehearsals, and then, um, we met again after that — we didn't talk that day — and then we met again a few weeks later when I went to the Vaudeville to watch the show. Um, and, then she slid into my DMs! [laughing] She's gonna hate me for saying that!

Q: Did you always want to be in Six? A: Well, there is a fun fact actually that um, I was actually... meant to go to an audition for the original-original cast (presumably referring to the Original Arts Theatre/Albumcast), or like the original... yeah, the original cast. And, um, I didn't go because I went on a holiday to New York instead! [laughter] I also read the breakdown and thought it was totally not something I could do. Um, which is crazy thinking back on, you know... well, thinking back, that some of the girls that were here were still in like, secondary school when that happened.

Q: How do you cope with comments people make about your size during the show? A: Okay, this is gonna be my last question, but thank you so much for keeping me company! [...] So, firstly I just wanna say that um, thank you so much to those who send, sort of, messages of support and love when I've mentioned this happening in the past. And I think it's important to say as well this isn't something that happens every day, not that I know of — it could happen every day, but I only really see it when it's in the first three or four rows and it really isn't nice when I see it. Um, I cope with it differently every time. Sometimes I'm feeling really good and I don't really care and I just, like, let it wash off my back and I just don't say anything. Some days I get a bit upset, some days I get a bit angry. And some days I just get sorry for those people that have that and I'm reminded sort of — um, I also think it's really sad that those people have obviously missed the entire point of the show, which is about building up people and empowering them, and celebrating, and not judging. Um, and... these people obviously don't really compute that because they sit there commenting and judging upon my body and literally going "oh my gosh, she's in a leotard and she's wearing a tights and a leotard and she's big!" like it's a crazy, crazy notion, but um, you know, I guess- I guess that's their opinion and that's fine, it's just- it's a shame that they can make me feel really vulnerable and self-conscious, um, on-stage, which it does sometimes. Um... but, I'm just glad that I'm old enough for that to not really affect me outside of it; it worries me other people who might be more impressionable. Um... but yeah.

Fuchs Family Tree

Since I was doing it on an app but I don’t like the way it shares, I figured I’d do one on here since I have all the photos for it anyway! Plus, this would be a great TLDR for anyone who doesn’t want to read from the beginning. 

Everything will be under the cut because its long and this family is crazy!!

FIRST GEN

First up we have Denene and Phillip. The founder and spouse of this 100 gen craziness. Phillip and Denene had one child: (Phillip is the SPOUSE, keep that in mind because him and acr were working harder then the devil)

The beautiful Khiry. What a stud. Denene died so Phillip married his second wife:

Jane, Together they had many child but only two survived:

Ica and Kiara. (They are the only 2 with the same parents) Jane died fighting Phillips Mistress because she found out the mystery baby she was raising was her husbands bastard child:

Rose Dai, Rose and Phillip had 3 children together but only 1 made it to adulthood, Rose dropped the baby off at Phillips house and wasn’t seen for many many moons. That baby was:

Burdette Dai the bastard. With Jane dead Phillip needed a new wife, that woman was:

Demi! The Infamous. It took her a long while to get pregnant and she thought it was her fault but I lean more towards the old dirty bastard himself, Phillip. Anyway they finally did have a child:

Norene. She is so stunning it hurts. She is just like her parents...

SECOND GEN:

Back to Khiry, He dated exactly 2 women in his whole life and one of them was Demi, his step mom... 

They had 1 child together:

Jarad. My wonderful 3rd gen heir who I don’t seem to have any good front facing pics of...  Moving on!

Ica got married to a wonderful man, Jess Thayer and together they had 4 kids. 

Mulan

Archibald and Cristal

and Craig

Burdette Dai the Bastard married a woman he met on his travels with his brother, her name is Heidi. Together they had 1 child: 

Denisse Dai. 

The beautiful Kiara next, she married Ryker but had some fertility issues. She finally got pregnant with her daughter:

Karleen and wasn���t able to have another child until much later in her life

She finally gave birth to twins, Gabriel and Denver while Ryker was at war. 

Lastly, Norene, the last child of Phillip, married a hard working man named, Damion. Together they had triplets:

Ching, Herminia, and Ruthanne. Ruthanne did not make it past her toddlers years. Norene also adopted Heidi’s child, Denisse when her mom went crazy after Burdette died. 

Denisse as a teen <3

But Norene had a secret, she was having an affair with Leo ‘Wild Man’ Bigfoot

Together they had one child before Norene died:

Laureen. 

And that is the first 2 generations of the Fuchs family. I think I may do one of these every gen now once the gen is finished so that I can have a running tally of the families and what they are up to. When gen 3 is done I will update this or do another one so everyone can see how far the babies have come. 

Until next time!

Here's When the CIA Knew It Had to Cook the Russia Intelligence on Trump

The new reports and documents being fed to Public and Racket have added a new layer of scandal to the Russian collusion hoax. We knew this was a political hack job. It’s now veered into territory where people should be indicted for illegal spy operations. It also should spur Republicans to haul James Comey, Gina Haspel, and John Brennan back onto the Hill to answer questions about this intelligence scandal for which no one has honestly been held accountable. The latest development centers on the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment and the severe narrative problem it encountered upon its creation.  

Behind the scenes, there was disagreement and a lack of consensus on the conclusion that then-CIA Director John Brennan wanted to be factual—that Russia wanted Trump to win. Still, the media ran with it, further fanning the flames of the fake Kremlin interference hoax during the 2016 election. The intelligence community wanted to get Trump, but there was a problem: the Kremlin wanted Hillary Clinton to win, viewing her presidency as more manageable. They weren’t afraid of her. Here was when Brennan reportedly decided to handpick his analysts to compartmentalize selective intelligence to back his Trump-Russia bias, thereby cooking the intelligence and ironically doing the work of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU) in marginalizing the work of the State Department and the Defense Intelligence Agency who did not support the CIA’s main Russia conclusion: 

BOMBSHELL: a new report says Russia didn't want Trump to win in 2016, they wanted Hillary and the CIA knew it. Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, manufactured evidence for the Russia hoax, according to @shellenberger and @mtaibbi pic.twitter.com/u8aMMvqsTb— Jesse Watters (@JesseBWatters) February 16, 2024

The Trump-Russia scandal made its formal launch on January 6th, 2017, when the office of the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper published what’s called an “Intelligence Community Assessment,” or “ICA,” as it’s universally known in Washington.  Release of the ICA dominated headlines, fixed Donald Trump in the minds of millions of Americans as a Manchurian candidate controlled by Vladamir Putin, and upended his in-coming administration.  The report declared that Russia and Putin interfered in the 2016 presidential election to “denigrate” Hillary Clinton and “harm her electability,” thanks to their “clear preference for President-elect [Donald] Trump.”  It was powerful stuff. And it was dead wrong.  […] Former CIA Director John Brennan and the ICA authors “embellished” their conclusion by upgrading unreliable sources to reliable, the source said. “They upgraded in the writing of their report to let those sources have more credibility and a higher rating. We caught them on 3-4 items where those people didn’t have a credible historic reporting line and changed the source rating for that Brennan report.” Dissent, even within Brennan’s group of 24 “hand-picked” analysts — not from 17 agencies but just four, and really just three, when one considers the ODNI is just a coordinating agency — was overruled.  […]  None of the information shared with Public and Racket has been reported until now. 

Recommended

Public noted that the ICA is a new report within the IC, resting between the National Intelligence Estimate, which offers a three-to-five-year projection of certain security trends. In contrast, the Special National Intelligence Assessment, or SNIE, provides a one-to-two-year outlook. The shortest intelligence report is the ‘community brief,’ which rose from the ashes of the 9/11 terror attacks. Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi, and Alex Gutentag added that the ICA rests between the SNIE and ICB. They also noted that the report, which was 20-30 pages in length, did not include the multiple disagreements among those within the IC about the CIA’s conclusion about Russia’s activities during the 2016 election. The State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence Research, the NSA director, two top CIA officials for Russian operations, and the Defense Intelligence Agency all got overruled by Brennan: 

Multiple sources said Brennan’s exclusion of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence Research (INR) were and are red flags pointing to a manipulated conclusion.  “The real story is that Brennan and Clapper succeeded in marginalizing both the State Department and the DIA, which has primary responsibility for the GRU,” says former CIA official Ray McGovern.  Former Russian ambassador to Moscow Jack Matlock in 2018 described being told by a “Senior official” that “the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence Research did, in fact, have a different opinion but was not allowed to express it.”  “State and defense are the two big players,” agrees another former diplomat with a connection to the case. The CIA in recent times has occasionally kept State out of the loop out of concerns about leaks, but to keep out the DIA was “crazy,” the source said. 

The problem with trying to manufacture a big lie for political gain is that once it gets out with the CIA seal on it, the scope of the mess could reach biblical proportions: 

A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee investigation also reviewed the ICA in a 158-page report released in 2020 and pronounced it a “sound intelligence product.”  However, there’s significant independent verification of the idea that the “Russia favored Trump” conclusion was indeed “cooked.” Former Director Brennan’s own book, Undaunted, describes how he not only overruled NSA director Mike Rogers but “two senior managers for the CIA mission center for Russia,” whom he decided had “not read all the available intelligence.”  It’s well-known that the NSA and Rogers never moved off their conclusion that there was not “sufficient evidence to support a high-confidence judgment that Russia supported Trump,” as Brennan put it. They expressed only “moderate” confidence in the idea.  […]  In the first week in December, the CIA and FBI each gave secret briefings to the Senate. These presentations appeared to conflict so much on the question of whether or not the interference was to help Trump that the differing accounts were leaked to the Washington Post, which quickly published “FBI and CIA Give Differing Accounts on Russia’s Motives.”  A week later, on December 16th, 2016, the Post published a different story, called “FBI in agreement with CIA that Russia aimed to help Trump,” announcing the FBI change of mind. Unnamed officials surfaced to explain that lawmakers who felt the FBI and CIA had differing accounts “misunderstood,” telling the paper, “The truth is they were never all that different in the first place.”  When Comey testified in the House and revealed the existence of an investigation into Trump in a blockbuster televised proceeding in March, 2020, he made a point of fixing the date of the FBI’s certainty about Russia’s motives in December, 2016, i.e. after the election.  […] Sources believe Brennan relied a great deal on one human asset, allegedly in Russia, who allegedly had access to the very desk of Vladimir Putin and was publicly described as “instrumental” to the CIA’s judgment on Russia’s motives.  This “highest level source for the US inside the Kremlin” was deemed so important that a high-level operation was apparently executed to “exfiltrate” him from Russia, reportedly – the story was leaked to CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and others – out of fears for his life. The official was later identified by the Russian newspaper Kommersant as a mid-level diplomat named Oleg Smolenkov and was so frightened for his safety he bought a house under his own name in Stafford, Virginia, the news reaching the world via Realtor.com.

Unsurprisingly, there were deep internal disagreements, though when these reports were released, we didn’t know the extent of Brennan’s alleged meddling. We also didn’t know until this week that the US intelligence community began their illegal spy operation into Trump well before the FBI’s July 2016 date, which has been viewed as the start of this operation into alleged Trump-Kremlin ties, which have since been debunked. The foreign intelligence agencies of our allies, the Five Eyes, were roped into assisting these deep state actors in their unholy crusade to take down an American citizen.  

The CIA had to sign off on this operation, which is where Trump CIA Director Gina Haspel comes into play; as station chief in London, she signed off on this probe. The FBI can’t peek around overseas with the IC’s blessing, so that explains why she and the rest of the IC fought like hell to block any further Russian documents from being declassified in the twilight of the Trump presidency. 

There’s a binder that airs all the missing dirty laundry, though suspicions that it was located at Mar-a-Lago might have been the reason behind the FBI’s raid in August of 2022.  

There needs to be a deeper dive, especially with congressional investigators revisiting these allegations, but that might take a long time due to the impending presidential election. Republicans also need healthy congressional majorities to pull this off. As we saw with the Mayorkas impeachment, slim majorities could end with sloppy execution, which we cannot afford to have here.

Cool-Down:

There is a post-workout wine and snacks party and left-over Birthday Cake.  Tom had pizza delivered.  Shane brought Chic Fil A.  Alicia brought a delicious salad.  There were several others who brought fantastic snacks which must include Miss Linda’s Carrot cake.  It was very special GOOD.

Robert of 6224 BRD provided closed circuit TV  college football, right there at the end of the picnic table.  The wonders of electronics amaze me.

Several brought fine wines.  There were probably 10 bottles of reds and whites that we went thru before Warren G and Bernie had to visit the wine cellar for a Magnum of Martinelli Zinfandel.  There is no truth to rumors that the coach had to be led indoors afterwards.  

Jess (ica) was the new girl to day.   She was brought here by our former unfaithful friend Brendan, who we coached and developed from his childhood.   Brendan left us for the glory of CrossFit Nashville, where he labors in the shadow of Allison Strnad.  Jessica is a 9 year CrossFit Athlete who exhibited humility and shyness as to her other-worldly CrossFit abilities.  We fitted her with a T-shirt and offered her a life-time membership.  Jessica abstained from the pleasures of carbohydrates and alcohol afterwards.  She did enjoy some electrolyte infused water.  I doubt she will return, nor do I think she will waste much time with Brendan.

I have heard very little from the LHCF MOM’s who I offered free CrossFit workouts on the mornings and times of their choosing. I imagined I would be over-whelmed by Mom’s who wanted a set-aside hour after getting the kids on the bus etc, but I hear only crickets.  I bet if Andy Hunt was the coach they would be all lined up to look at him.

Saturday at 0730 and 0930.  Many are those who are suggesting alternative  times for these workouts.  Also Sundays at 0730 and 1 PM.  Also we will be working bout Labor Day Monday at 0800.  

Labor Day Monday at 0800.

Sunday at 0730 and 1 PM.

Saturday at 0730 and 0930.
