As a Hoosier and Indianapolis resident, I would confidently say that being pulled into a toxic parallel dimension ruled by a misanthropic tyrant who despises all of humanity would not register as vastly different to most Hoosiers.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

I think I probably have ADHD, I've been encouraged by professionals to do all the research I can, and now I've learned all sorts of things that are really interesting and none of them are about ADHD

I double checked after I posted because although the green eyebrow header was a major tip-off, I’d hate sending out false info.

If you Google “Margot Jollenston,” it’s the first hit.

15 years ago @jevinwest.bsky.social and I talked about how we needed a data scientists’ code of ethics like the Hippocratic oath.

We still do.

Of course, one of the reasons the UK has got to this position is precisely because of several decades of an economy based on making police procedurals. Each time a scriptwriter has a good idea for a plot, Home Office civil servants watching the show think about stopping it.
