Token Fund

I pay the subscriptions. They run dry every half a week.

Every article, filing, timeline, and map here is built on AI tokens. The $463 a month in subscriptions is on me. The overage credits that keep the machine running the rest of the week are the ask: $1,700 a month, billed by the token at published rates. You buy the overage. I do the work.
