The sphere ends up threatening earth and all life upon it. All looks lost, and nothing can be done - the black sphere is a technology beyond comprehension.

Ultimately, this is a coming judgement on the population of Michigan; if they elect Tudor as governor, the state will be forever stained and damned, and Michiganders wretches become. Is Michigan a shit state filled with shit people? Or is Michigan a good state with decent people? Who they elect - in the end - will…

In an oligarchic, corporatist, capitalist, monopolistic dystopia, pirating media ceases to be immoral or unethical and becomes an act of righteous and appropriate defiance against human culture itself being held for ransom or annihilated entirely for profit.

They would have to read a book in order to seriously discuss it.

Those grapes were probably sour anyway.

It should not matter what Kravitz’s partners did or didn’t do, it shouldn’t matter what people she knew, or how she likes her toast, or what type of ice cream she preferred in grade school - it should be noncontroversial to say that slapping the shit out of someone is assault, it is wrong, and it is always wrong.

This actually makes things worse; if the - editor - is at fault here, then I am at a loss for (highly negative) words. Nothing I can think of would seem to suffice.

Why in hell isn’t Trump already arrested and being held? How much evidence of treason do they need?

All twenty will be named ‘Planety McPlanetface”.

The headline above this article is so wretchedly written that I cannot see this ‘Justin Carter’ as anything other than a grade-school student. Apparently, Gizmodo hires from Mrs. Murphy’s third-grade class for Slow Learners.

I agree. I’ve been sitting on the fence about ‘Nope’, despite reading enough to basically reconstruct the plot inside my head and watch the movie in my imagination. The last thing I needed to kick me over into ‘see it’ is to actually see some special effects sufficient to draw me in. Yeah, it’s a creature. Yeah, it…

More than a little Nausicaa in there, what with the ‘fungal forest’ stuff.

Noted. This is state-based abuse. Biden is powerless. But he could raise some serious fuss about it, at least.

No. The cops dismissed the request for anti-swat protection, and they used maximum force on a spurious ‘tip’. The target of their abuse was known and had run for political office multiple times. Her legal name was known, yet they misgendered her deliberately.

No ‘sensible’ person would ever vote republican. Never vote republican, not even once. Not ever. Republicanism must end, forever.

Biden could pardon all three victims of Nebraska - the mother, the daughter, and the 22 year old that assisted them - right now, before they are even tried or convicted of anything:

She was helpful and nice to blind people. That’s all. This is yet another reason why the conservative party has to go. Never vote for any conservative, not ever, not even once, not for any reason.

If you read all the stuff deep into the rabbit hole - I did, for grins - it’s easy to put together a fairly consistent notion of it all. The ‘gray aliens’ are artificial beings, bio-machines grown in order to house downloaded intelligences. They don’t need clothing or protection because the bodies are basically…

It’s easy! Eddie Munson died of blood loss due to bat bites. The entire D&D deal of ‘Vecna’ is that Vecna can be parted out - Vecna’s Eye, Vecna’s Hand, and so on. Lop off or rip out your own hand or eye and plug those babies in for massive powers and enhanced senses.

IF VR was done right - haptic gloves (even bodysuits!), easy, lightweight and cheap VR glasses and a truly open and persistent, universal, safe, secure and not-massively-monetized virtual world - it would solve for Covid. And Monkeypox, and whatever new awful far more catastrophic horror (airborne Ebola?) yet to come.
