This completely misrepresents what happened in Canada. Carney's win was fueled by being a fresh face after Trudeau, a reputation for competence, belief he was best suited to stand up to the USA and the deep loathing of Poilievre in large parts of the country.
And it was still a minority!

goldilocks theory of computer size
computer too big? unwieldy, have to go to a place to use it, inconvenient.
computer too small? too pervasive, gives you depression.
who will make computer that is just right size (friend, does not induce psychosis, runs Linux)
I found the old 35mm slide for the cover for Neuromancer and had it scanned in for your pleasure. Enjoy!

The Sharp Rateca Puter. Up top, left to right: a collapsable TV/radio antenna, brightness and contrast dials, a giant speaker, a smaller speaker, and input for the tapedeck, with the play counters that were more common on the day. Face, left to right: A 4.5 inch CRT (behind a plastic guard), VHF/UHF and radio dials, channel and band selectors (TV/COMP, FM, Shortwave, and Middlewave), the "RATECA PUTER' logo on the battery gauge, AFC switch, mode selector, tape deck controls, audio controls for balance, bass, treble, and volume, and a mollyguard to prevent dials and switches from being mashed (the mollyguard being a signature of Sharp's boomboxes of the time). Face, low: the collapsable carrying handle that doubles as a stand; computer power button; slide-out chiclet keyboard based on Sharp calculators of the day, with number pad; an LED clock, clock controls, alarm controls. Right side: mic jacks, earphone jacks in two different sizes, beat cut switch, fan exhaust, DC and AC power plugs, and a printer port (!). Help I'm trapped in an alt text factory
In the 70s, Sharp had a series of "Latte case" boomboxes; as the line went on, more and more got put into it, like TVs. One of the last in the line was the RatecaPuter - a latte-case boombox with a 2KB computer that could run SHARP Basic programs off of the built in tape deck.
Take the time you need, Jess!

I've previously avoided mentioning this out of respect, but now seems like a good time to mention that Darren Aronofsky got his start co-directing the abysmal 1997 Full Motion Video (FMV) rail-shooter game Soldier Boyz
This guy!! I e-borrowed his series from Canopy years and years ago when I was taking chemistry night classes! I still remember the guitar sting over all the title cards (which i feel like he had to perform himself)
Been meaning to check out Slabโs for ages!!

Is there anything more satisfying than preemptively being a hater of something, checking it out just to give it a fair shake, and discovering that it sucks even more than you had expected
Gotchaโletโs dig into that step by step.
1. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ป๐ผ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐๐ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโre not just immobileโyouโre immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. ๐ฌ๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ. That makes total senseโitโs a natural human impulse, and youโve been through a lot.

Thatโs right
a dreary sky, a lonely grey concrete tower in the center. there are chambers on the base that a person can enter with stairs leading up to them
a brutalist concrete lobby, with nice carpet, furniture, and plants hanging from suspended planters. the lighting is warm and welcoming
a cavernous gallery room, with a high ceiling and artificial sun panels pouring warm diffused light into the room. there is a statue of a floating octahedron in the center. plants and vines hang down from the walls. the room branches off into other chambers.
view of a tall, oddly shaped hallway. carpet down the whole length. on the left there is seating, a cabinet, and a large painting of some abstract rock formation.

some fancy bits in here will be in the coming update, like the paintings and plaques
