Captain's Log—Stardate 2025.15.10 it's been 1 year since Newbl construction began. Now 3 weeks into its initial launch, i'm still deliberating its purpose and direction. i steered an online dating service for over 25 years and a prior political discussion forum for 10. You'd think i'd have learned enough. Still, things change. And key questions remain: i know the public is tired of being exploited by unscrupulous money-sucking data-harvesting profiteers. But, even if they embrace the concept of a non-profit social network, are they willing to help built one from scratch? communicating can be a heavy lift. Are web-surfers too dependent on instant gratification -- 30 second cat-clips, hot TikTok stars, vertical doom-scrolling, swipe-left-right decision-making, and thumb-typing? thousands of cyberspace travelers have dropped in. Most — hesitant to sign-up and engage. Surely, numerous bugs in the software have impeded growth. How much? i'm feeling the next phase should be about me listening. And not to any half-human Spock or a.i. Copilot. i need to beam down. explore deeper. interview the native life forms...

The motivation for this site was an epidemic of disinformation that turned into a crisis of misinformation during and after election 2024 — including: a daily stream of LIES served on a platform called "TRUTH Social" by a leader the Washington Post tracked with 30,573 "false or misleading claims". 24 hour cable news LIES pitched as "fair & balanced" by a network that had to pay $787 million for lying about the prior election. 31 LIARS from that network hired to fill key government positions. 14 Cabinet positions filled by billionaire campaign donors. a Supreme Court ruling called "Citizens United" that effectively allows corporations to fund LIES that benefit corporations and divide citizen's. the Press bullied into NOT asking tough questions or fact-checking. A politician's lie is called "misleading." Illegalities are framed as "raising eyebrows." In short, the election was a fabri-sham-mockery! Too many Americans voted against their own best interests -- because their emotions were manipulated by lies! For me, the journey to newBluePlanet started soon after the Election 2000 debacle, with my launch of LiberalHearts -- the world's first political dating site. I retired it--and myself--in 2024--until I realized that, more than ever, progressive thinkers and liberal hearts need a space to connect and be heard through all the noise. A think-tank for putting together ideas to share on other social networks--rather than replace our participation there. Our voices are needed wherever people gather -- to offset all the hot air being pumped into their radio, cable and internet bubbles. I'd like to think that, together, we can burst some of those bubbles. But not only do I need your help. I need you to lead. My time will be divided on other projects that share the same goal but will use the mediums of music and film as tools. The plan is to develop this site as a co-op non-profit organization so the mission may outlive me. Translation: The stakes are high. Speak up. Speak out. Until you're blue in the face!

i am spirit my gender, color, and species do not define me. my earth-ware was programmed with a basic operating system for survival and reproduction but connecting to my true source is the key to unlocking my advanced features and unlimited potential i am spirit my body was born into this time, this country, this culture. my ego commands that i identify with them, but i do not have to obey. my soul is not bound to them, or to the possessions i will leave behind when i depart earth's cocoon. until then, i will do my best to remember what i was taught to forget; that i am connected to all things, and i will not let the unholy alliance of my time, my country, my culture, and my ego restrict me, separate me, or isolate me i am spirit i am a citizen of the universe, guided by my conscience, not the laws of man -- that change over time and imaginary borders on a map i am spirit love is my religion, my sexual preference, my currency. peace is my political party, my ambition. i honor all sentient creatures' life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. when there is potential for conflict, my greatest defense is no offense. i do not win unless no one loses | i am spirit truth nourishes me, justice gets me high, happiness is the measure of my success, sacrifice is the measure of my heroes. compassion and consideration for all living things is the custom i adhere to every day i am spirit i recognize that humility is cool, honesty and humor are more attractive than clothes or hair style, friends are more precious than gold and family is the best investment money can't buy i am spirit lying beneath a tree in my backyard can be as inspiring as standing on the edge of the grand canyon i can not distinguish the beauty of a puppy from a rattlesnake or the value of the pebbles beneath my feet from diamonds. both are invaluable but for the possession of neither would i spill a drop of blood i am spirit i do not live in fear of physical or emotional pain they cannot penetrate my soul. i question human behavior, but do not judge human beings their soul is as pure as my own i am spirit my physical body is measured in inches, pounds, years, months, and days. it took millenniums to evolve from stars but each morning i can reboot to an upgraded, de-fragmented mind. today, i release shareware version 50.10.16 to the world free for download via email or text, words over the phone, visual queues in person, or quantum connection via the universe... sonnyV3 Note: The above algorithm is free to use and distribute.
