My mobile spelling has gotten to be garbage because my phone keyboard autocorrects Sometimes and I’ve gotten lazy about Swype/deleting mid-word mistakes. My pen/paper and also physical keyboard spelling remains persnickety

Absolutely. It makes me crazy that people can’t imagine what the consequences of American isolation will be. We built this position and lifestyle over generations, and every single other administration including his was smart enough not to fuck with it

There are a few podcasts like that I think. Notably Hello from the Magic tavern. A sitcom, even animated, would be pretty cool!

I didn’t make it through the whole whole thing, but it’s an interesting take, thanks for sharing rss bot! Central criticism seems to be that modern day technologists latch onto the Chosen one themes of LOTR and convince themselves that they’re special and good and justified in worsening the world in their own special and good way. While discworld antagonists are generally those self-styled chosen ones. I buy that difference and agree, but I don’t think LOTR made thiel an asshole sociopath - I think some people are just assholes and society rewards them too much for it. On the either hand maybe society would be better off not buying into chosen one mythology. How many people proclaimed Musk as a real life Tony Stark during his rise?

RIP… The wayners were such an integral part of the dd experience. Ruin has come to our family

Things like this are causing real dissonance for me. We’ve got people doing amazing, important, next-level development - alongside our Idiocracy slide. If it was just doom on the horizon, I feel like things would be simpler to process. I guess that kind of thinking gives rise to accelerationism.
