Back then they called those who fought for Britain loyalists. Kind of what Stumpy wants now: unquestioning loyalists.

She can give him the medal, but that still doesn’t make him a winner, which Nobel organizers have said. Wonder if he’s going to melt it down for another toilet.

And the Dark Enlightenment, more like Unlightenment or Dork Enlightenment.

Give me an actual Enlightenment 2.0 that improves upon the first one, like with more humanism, science and progress.
F*** Curtis Yarvin, his “Dark Enlightenment” bullsh*t and all the other whacked-out tech bruhs. I read sci-fi, too, but you don’t see me fantasizng about ending democracy and starting little city-states where I can preside as a monarch.

some people are very wrong, some people deserve some modicum of grace anyway, & everyone is reading hastily/making assumptions

Don’t have any lab stuff that almost killed me, but accidentally got a whiff of ammonia processing bone for curation in a comparative collection. It made my eyeballs cold. Not the eyelids the actual eyeballs feel cold. That was weird.
Introduce yourself with what almost killed you.
