HG Wells wrote about putting men on the moon, while Jules Verne wrote about submarines in the late 19th century! How about Herbert: thou shalt not make a machine like to the human mind (or something like that)

Jon (spelled properly, keep reading),
As you pointed out this week, books and movies have been warning us about the robot revolution. So my question is this: Does science fiction inevitably become science fact? If man can dream it,man can achieve it?

Goddammit! Will someone please tell me where to pick up my Antifa paycheck? I've been anarching nearly every day since January, and I haven't received a dime from Soros!
Unless...wait...could it be that Trump is wrong about Antifa being an organized body with meetings and boards and all?

If anyone has plans on voting in November, you had best start pressuring your Senators, Representatives, all the way down to your city councilman to stand and fight against this authoritarianism. Trump's obvious plan is to declare martial law and suspend all elections until the civil war ends.

The fall of competent journalism can be traced directly to the 1984 Reagan campaign, when the first "Spin Room" was created. After a debate, the partisan hacks would begin twisting, I mean spinning the words of their candidate to better fit the agenda they were creating. As Jesus taught.

Everyone can see it, everyone knows it, no one does a damned thing about it. A government of jellyfish. To concerned with getting reelected.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

You'd better make your face up with your favorite disguise
With your button down lios and your roller blind eyes
With you empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters as the conch shell shatters
AND THE HAMMERS BATTER DOWN YOUR DOORS

The decline of American journalism can be traced directly to the 1984 Reagan campaign, which had the first "Spin Room", which told people what was meant, not what was said.

They did this 45+ years ago and I expect it to end the way these kind of "vs" stories always end: they stop fighting to meet the challenge of a common enemy. Who would win is never answered. But we all know Spiderman would win.
