“I would totally move to Nanaimo, but Canada’s winters are so terribly cold.”
Actual number of minutes of snow this entire winter in Nanaimo: 10 minutes. It didn’t even stick.

A third of the way through the Anachronox demo, the player encounters a hulking alien merchant. “My sorrow runs deep,” the merchant, whose name is Demonstrare, says. “I will only exist for the short duration of this demo. I do not exist in the full version. “Write the company. Tell them that you want me in the full version.” What Demonstrare, even with his curse of self-awareness, did not anticipate was that if anyone did ask Ion Storm to bring him over to “the full version,” it wouldn’t have mattered. The demo shipped on a disc stuck to the cover of a PC Gamer — where it shared space with now-forgotten
titles like Throne of Darkness and The Corporate Machine — four months after Anachronox itself had been released, and three months after Ion Storm’s parent company had shut down the studio. Demonstrare never made it to Anachronox. And while twenty-five years later the game can run on modern hardware, the demo does not. Demonstrare is gone. Recently, I asked Richard Gaubert, the writer of Anachronox, if the developers ever heard anything about Demonstrare. Gaubert didn’t even remember the character.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
Given that this theory covers "a foreign war as an engine of personal corruption for the potus" the other option is "a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home."
[Insert Zoidberg "why not both" meme here.]
I mean, I'm not saying that's it, but if we found out that was the only real reason, would ANYONE be surprised?
Let's assume the worst writing for this chapter of what was already the worst timeline.
Why start a war? What's the most banal, selfish, short-sighted reason?
How about, just... make all that Venezuelan oil worth more?

Every major disaster in this country over my lifetime has been self inflicted by right wing ideologues with just enough complicit or inert Democrats to enable or ratify them. That's why we've been on this doom trajectory for the last ~50 years and it'll keep getting worse if that doesn't change

Maybe let's not give too much moral credit to Anthropic for their unwillingness to turn their unlimited theft and ecological disaster machine into an unlimited surveillance and remote murder machine.

A photo of a printed paragraph on off-white paper with several phrases highlighted in yellow. The text discusses “intellectual loneliness,” describing it as the feeling that few people tolerate complexity, that people rush to feel right rather than understand, and that small talk can become alienating. It concludes that the desire is not for “smart people” but for “people who are still thinking.”
screenshot from a roadrunner cartoon. RR has stopped at the edge of a cliff. coyote has overrun and it's looking back in dread while hanging over the drop. Road runner has been painstakingly (read: as if by an amateur with Flameshot) labeled "Netflix", the coyote is labeled Paramount, and the drop is labeled "WB."

Six hours and a good nap later, and I'm already assembling a sequel to this in my head, because now that I've dumped THIS out: There's so much more.

I think about that sometimes because there doesn't seem to be any mechanism in the system that might allow for that to be possible, at least internally.
Perfect - and I mean PERFECT - example of enshittification in the pursuit of profit and shareholder handys.
