  • Haha, yeah for several of them I have a pretty strong mental image of what I think they’d look like, but I don’t think it actually lines up with how they are described in the book at all.

  • Yeah, the consistency of quality is really impressive for how much he publishes. In the first shadows if the apt book, you can tell he’s a younger author (compared to some of his more recent works) but it’s still really well written for a first book. I’ve been meaning to give his podcast a listen, but haven’t gotten around to it.

  • Agree about favorite current author, I’m currently working through the shadows of the apt series after picking up the humble bundle. Children of time was also my first introduction to him, and have been hooked ever since. You probably know, but children of strife cones out in March.

  • Stocks fall after Trump's DOJ opens criminal probe into Fed Chair Powell

    Jump

  • Already returning towards flat, wouldn’t be surprised if it goes green today.

    If anyone needed any further proof that the market is fantasy, the fact that the chair of the federal reserve being investigated for criminal fraud is barely a speed bump should be more than enough.

  • ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants

    Jump

  • Thought a similar thing when that video of the guy in Minneapolis bringing out the big machine gun came out the other day. They look like a multiplayer lobby in some fps game who all have different cosmetics on, just beyond dumb. And then you get Bovino walking around in that dumbass duster and it really shows how much these guys are going for that tacticool look.

  • Gov. Jared Polis considers clemency for Tina Peters as he begins final year in office in Colorado

    Jump

  • Tries to overthrow the government, convicted of multiple felonies, ‘how much of a threat are they?’

  • ‘I don’t need international law’: Trump says power constrained only by ‘my own morality’

    Jump

  • John Roberts: yep, checks out!

  • Glaciers Across the The Globe Are Melting—Except This One. It’s Growing.

  • Article goes on to describe a glacier that has been shrinking since 2018.

  • Trump's shock ban sends Blackstone stocks plummeting

    Jump

  • Been trying to figure out the angle on that announcement ever since it was made. Should’ve known it was just market manipulation to buy the dip.

  • Trump’s plan to open California’s coastline to oil drilling threatens more than ocean life

    Jump

  • I believe they actually are. Which, schadenfreude aside, is pretty crappy too.

  • Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

    Jump

  • MS CoPilot One 365 coming soon!

  • Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

    Jump

  • If true, then it is beyond dumb. When I need to do office related work, ie typing a document or using spreadsheets, the most relevant term would be office. Not a term that is a reference to flying a plane.

    Of course I don’t use microsoft for anything, but it is wild to watch that company completely forget what it is that they do.

  • US not at war with Venezuela, Rubio says, as Maduro held in New York jail - live updates

    Jump

  • And bombed grandmothers in their apartments during our ‘law enforcement operation.’

  • Removed

    Are the majority Venezuelans actually happy trump just stole their president?

    Jump

  • The difference is they didn’t even bother to lie this time. (I was both opposed then and now, in case that is unclear).

  • Senate to vote next week to block Trump’s military action against Venezuela

    Jump

  • Absolutely, but Chuck has already pushed back on that. If anyone is olanning on calling their representatives about this, make sure to point that out (and push for new leadership in both houses).

  • Live Updates: U.S. Captures Venezuelan Leader, Trump Says

    Jump

  • Exactly. While I think Americans should be doing more to pressure the few elected officials that may care, some key points are constantly glossed over. We have the largest military in the world (by a factor of like 10x), we have the highest prisoner population on earth and one of the highest per capita, we have the number one propaganda operation on earth and it has been running wildly for longer than most of us have been alive, our government was specifically set up to marginalize our voices, and our vast geography make it incredibly easy to discount/hard to mobilize the populace.

    You don’t hear people saying the Chinese citizenry need to step up when their govt commits atrocities. And before anyone brings up either Tiananmen Square or the Buddhist monk who self immolated- we haven’t had the tank scene play out but we have had people self-immolate in front of the White House. And it was just as effective as the demonstrations in China—in that it wasn’t effective.

  • We going to just return Maduro like we picked up the wrong bag from the shared work fridge? Oopsie poopsie, sorry I ate all the tangerines before I realized they weren’t mine!

  • Trump says construction of the ‘Triumphal Arch’ to begin in ‘2 months’

    Jump

  • Yep. ‘What about when Joe Biden made us all wear masks and fired anyone who wouldn’t.’ And then everything gets de-railed trying to explain that Biden was not president at that time.

  • Trump says construction of the ‘Triumphal Arch’ to begin in ‘2 months’

    Jump

  • I basically already have (years ago). But when you’ve got family that hasn’t been cut off, the ones who have still manage to make appearances.
