The WP noticed that mass deportations are a horror, but they remain totally committed to the project. They just want it to seem nicer, more purposeful. All of this for nothing but white nationalism. So many lies, obfuscation.

The tech bros don’t want artificial intelligence, they want artificial wit. They want this because they have no natural wit.

Seen a lot of preparation going into the semiquin in 2026, but much less fanfare about the forthcoming 30th anniversary of Austin Powers in 2027 (marking the same time gap between Powers’ own cryogenic freezing in 1967 and awakening in 1997).

I wonder how jarring it would feel, if you took a time machine to 1995, to experience shared spaces with people who had no phones to scroll. Small talk, eye contact, both extroversion and introspection would all feel pretty different I bet.
