the guy is now urging people to tweet at him and then responding to their tweets on air, which makes it feel like the distinction between “twitch streamer” and “cable news host” is collapsing

i show up to the big coalition meeting between the catholics and communists and every time someone complains I start screaming that im the heir to karl marx and throw a wad of reichsmarks in their face. this is how the process is meant to work.

SPD underling: Sir! Sir! The fascist paramilitaries are killing our people in the street.

Me, sitting at a desk puffing a big cigar: Raise member dues. Tell Otto Wels to conduct emergency fundraising.

Underling: Sir?

Me: Triple the number of ads for women’s pantyhose too.

Canceling the 21st century version of the Hoover Dam to own the libs. This would have been such an easy thing for Trump have named after himself. Really wasted opportunity for a narcissist like him.
Interior cancels largest solar project in North America
It's the Trump administration's latest move to slow or block major clean energy projects.

my memory is hazy but i believe that the expected warning time if an icbm was fired from the ussr was about 22 minutes so sounds like bigelow and her screenwriter have done their research

i believe in tests, under ideal conditions, that the gmd has an accuracy rate of approximately 55%, though if you fire three interceptors at a single warhead you can get up to ~90% accuracy

really i think we just won’t do anything until it’s too late. we’ll continue to contaminate the time stream until someone ruptures something important, until it starts affecting the bottom line of powerful people like President Brown or Michael Rockefeller or something like that

i hear that the industry is agreeing to self-regulate, to impose extra fees and standards on “important dates” but I think we all know that there’ll soon be boutique travel agencies offering the chance to kill Caesar if you pony up enough cash, if you know the right people

but of course they ignore the studies, the magazine articles, the investigations.

the entire road to Golgatha is lined entirely with out-of-timers, laughing and jeering, snatching at the Divine’s garments.

they say every generation crucifies Christ and i guess that’s more true now than ever.

some want to ban time travel entirely. they say that any amount of pollutants is a disaster, that we’re ruining lives, that we’re killing ourselves.

but obviously there’s now a huge sector of the economy built around it. a whole lobbying campaign. would you deny someone the chance to see Christ?

of course because of the forever particles once you’ve traveled downstream you will always have traveled downstream and so those temporal pollutants just stay in the air forever.

go on any social media platform and search “Dallas 1963” and you’ll see hundreds of TikTokers announcing the death of the president to shocked locals for online clout. look up “New York 2001” and catch teens trying to steal from the Looney Tunes Store beneath the World Trade Center.

temporal overtourism has become such a huge problem. of course, we’re all aware of the situation in 1914 sarajevo—where the guise of “non-interference” has fallen away and locals hawk “I SURVIVED THE BLACK HAND” t-shirts to out-of-timers—but the problem is just getting worse
