"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

I can tell you I’ve been saying for years that Actual Play would be very different in a world of UBI.
In fact, we have some evidence of this, as I’m arguing in my next chapter.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

Potential broad-spectrum antiviral. Shows efficacy against some of the worst shit. Utterly amazing news.
We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.

LRP: At this point the Democrats, by not even attempting to hold the GOP responsible for jack shit, have moved from useless opposition to active collaboration.

I'm sympathetic to "Dems haven't insisted on accountability for GOP crimes in many decades" arguments. But it's also true that there has never in my adult lifetime been serious grassroots Dem voter pressure for such accountability.

Abuse culture is an ideology, as surely as capitalism or fascism.
I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

I’m dumbstruck by news of the death of Tom Stoppard—maybe because he hoarded all the words and knew how to use them better than just about anyone. I hope we savor his spectacular wit and erudition and argue about the politics of his plays forever. He was monumental, and also a kind and curious man.
