Let me tell you what happens when they can’t manufacture enough parts for critical medical equipment: the companies will exit making that equipment and your insurance company will say “too bad, do your best to keep it working”.
Phillips did this with pediatric ventilators.

Everybody’s talking about the destruction of consumer electronics and that’s bad, but basically everything in modern life has a computer in it. Hospitals, airports, transportation, shipping, medical devices, farm equipment, and point of sale terminals had a good run

A system built to eat people never stops eating people.
The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.
They won't only be for brown and Black people.
The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.
The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

The anti-trans side made bomb threats to children's hospitals. They spent a billion dollars messaging this over the last 7 years while the Dems mostly stayed silent or ducked away. But somehow, they always seem to blame trans people for their own persecution.

Trump is a dangerous evil man but he is not omnipotent, he does not have magical powers, and he does not have an infinite supply of jackbooted goons.

The Death Star board room scene is low key the funniest scene in cinematic history. It’s a work meeting with an evil samurai wizard everyone else finds mildly annoying and when his manager tells him to stop killing a coworker with his magicka, he has to listen.

The administration’s promise to “wind down” the Minnesota operation is already unraveling. The timeline is suddenly vague, the commitment conditional, and the clarity Minnesotans were owed has evaporated. After everything that’s happened, this kind of backtracking is unacceptable.

Ars Magica is a fantasy game of magic and wonder in the Middle Ages. The medieval world was of course much bigger than just Europe, with trade and cultural exchanges linking people across oceans and continents. Given the powers of Hermetic magi, it's only natural that they might seek out the mysteries of lands farther afield, which gave us a great excuse to explore the broader world of the 13th century.
