In the here and now, I try to remind myself that they're the ones who suck and that they should hide.
When Woke 2 comes we're going to be insuffferable.
Just finished The Regicide Report by friend of the instance Charles Stross. Hell of a finish to the main series! I'll likely start a re-read of the whole series soon, and I'm hopeful that it'll win all the awards.
Had a couple of shower thoughts afterward:
In the previous novel, a bunch of American computer bois with brainworms concocted a plan to disassemble the moon and turn it into orbital datacenters, which is lol
Ghislaine Maxwell is the Iris Carpenter of pedos.
Keeping speculative fiction ahead of current events must be exhausting.
The vibes were wretched. Why do people to have to battle emotional abuse from a goddamned web browser?
but hey, at least this way we now just know and don’t have to guess. so much easier
+1, yeesh. Btw, if Dingus McGee there resides in the UK, might some of that shit might be legally actionable? I'd certainly have strong feelings about being defamed by the representative of a rather well-funded technology company lol
