Incredible, tragically accurate headline.
The visionary game from Lucas Pope imagines a highly unrealistic, wildly fanciful world where immigration officers are held accountable.

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

When we talk about the perils of AI, the usual response is "You would have been afraid of automobiles and computers too!"
No. We're the kind concerned about coca leaf cigarettes and soda pop, lithium 7Up, and radium drinking vessels.

The COCARETTE was a cigarette made with coca & tobacco leaves, c.1885. The company claimed that coca was “the finest nerve tonic and exhilarator ever discovered.”

Yeah, tho this isn't a revelation, is it?
fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)
"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

Richard Hanania is a gutter racist and vile Nazi. He's not going to fight the destruction of our pluralistic society, social support systems, arts, and sciences; those are his goals.
He's an enemy who wishes Trump's reign was going better and is looking for an exit.
Do not allow him in the tent.

Your reminder that Blue Monday was completely made up by New Order in 1983 to sell records…
A great Blue Monday themed thread for from Andy, but while the video of its influences is decent, one thing which always gets left out is Blue Monday actually emerged from this 20 minute experiment which Tony Wilson asked them to make for the opening of the Hacienda www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiEi...

The Gay Hussar, Soho.
Great Hungarian restaurant, frequented by many a politician, but also lined with Martin Rowson's (IIRC) caricatures of them, which he drew while there.

Like, f'realz. Delaney can even identify random lumps of metal that aren't tabletop minis!
It's me, your 'very good at identifying oldhammer and 80s minis' gal.
If anyone has an unidentified metal figure I love helping folks identify them. Just summon me with an @ and I will do my best.

It is NOT popular science. It's quite dry, seriously well researched, but also well written.
