Heres the resident russian. They had a revolution to get rid of a president that wanted to hand Ukraine over to Russia. That bought them some time as an independent country while the Putin has been throwing a greedy tantrum ever since.

Although I wish he was still alive all the time, I really wish Douglas Adams could read this and then incorporate it into a story. 

At least it makes sense in the naval context, because if the ship sinks the people on it drown - and because the US Navy is a military institution where individualism is a liability.

It’s 2022. People don’t back off in shame any more. They double down and commit to their bullshit harder. Your hate only makes them stronger. Gives them focus.

Metamates sounds like what you’d call a Metaverse street walker.

There used to be a time when working at a company like Facebook guaranteed that you would be recruited hard and on the other side that the person was talented.

Online voting would be a blessing. I don’t trust voting by mail, so I always vote in person (usually early), which has its own cons.

Looks like it has 6 stairwells (fire escapes)

Benioff & Weiss

I have no data beyond the rumbling of my gut, but doesn't it feel like the hits in Netflix are invariably the ones they DIDN'T spend hundreds of millions on? Your Stranger Things and Tiger Kings (ooh it rhymes!) were sleeper hits, not preordained mega investments.

It will be brilliant for 8 episodes and then they will get bored and race through Dark Forrest and Death’s End in an episode each.

Honestly shocked that D & D are still finding work considering they managed to basically remove the most popular show in history from pop culture by shitting all over its final season.
