We’ve reached a level of cold where weird physics happens. Lubricants congeal. LCD screens slow. Pain is skipped and you go straight to numb.

I just remembered that records from Trump's first term become subject to FOIA on Jan. 20, 2026 through the National Archives. It'll be really interesting to see if Trump tries to stop that.
Marco Rubio is currently the acting Archivist of the United States, a title he's held since February.

I'm glad Trump's ballroom is funded by private donors. That way when it is ritually demolished in the future, it can be 100% satisfying.

This is an interesting one. Does it benefit children? Maybe. Does it protect them from harm? Probably. Not sure how to feel about it. Will it work? Absolutely not.

Time to establish non human personhood.
Orcas have started targeting commercial ship control systems, like rudders, to disrupt or break them. Eyewitnesses feel unnerved by the precision of these attacks in how the orcas ignore peripherals and know exactly what to do. Well, duh. Sophisticated intelligence as good or better than our own.

The Metawriter was a really cool idea! It would write video games on reusable RAM cartridges. So you could buy a game, write it to the RAM, and then come back next week and get a new game. It was sort of the Redbox of the Atari age. Here's more info: rarehistoricalphotos.com/metawriter-s...
