As the age verification technology would forcibly deanonymise all EU users, opening a huge new vein of behavioural surveillance data to the zuckerbots.

Loyalty to the leader, and implicitly knowing whom to ratfuck to climb the ladder.

Sometimes discretion is the greater part of valour.

If you’re going to name a cat that, adopt two and name the other Weed or something.

If young people are working multiple gig jobs, forming polycules to make rent and naming their houseplants because landlords won’t let them get a dog, how are they expected to become parents? Perhaps we can have some lifestyle programming showing them developing-world sweatshop workers who balance breastfeeding with working a 120-hour week as aspirational models?

Bet it’s the Moonies. They’re cashed up and all over right-wing politics across the world.

Not enough people. You still see people talking about it, citing their Hogwarts houses, playing the games, squeeing about news of the TV show snd so on as if nothing was amiss, and dismissing any concerns about the profits going to persecute trans people as some kind of weird Peta-tier puritanism. It’s still considered acceptable in the mainstream to be into HP and be accepted as a good person.

The CIA developed dragonfly drones in the 70s IIRC, though they had no active electronics and were heated by a laser to guide them (and possibly to measure acoustic vibrations). It’s not clear whether they found a practical use for them.

There’s probably a classified CIA file which contains Bin Laden’s fursona.

The other option in the other direction is to join a swingers’ club or similar and keep it purely sexual, though leave open the possibility that something more may come of it.

You may be better off joining a club/group activity around a common interest. That way, even if you don’t meet anyone, you have something to do that isn’t soul-destroying.

The full swathe from Art Nouveau/Jugendstil through Art Deco/Moderne and Bauhaus functionalism through to 1950s modernism. If I had to be more specific, I’d focus on British interwar modernism.

If the rate of ghost dissipation (at which they either cross over to the afterlife or just fade) is lower than the death rate, ghosts will build up, and after a while, it will be statistically overwhelmingly likely that any random ghost is very old.

If there’s demand for the aesthetic of the original, Disney can always commission Michel Gondry to do a Star Wars title.

Or you could be a cat (Stray or Little Kitty Big City, depending on where on the perilous/wholesome axis you prefer)
