My grandma "accidentally" set the oven to clean when my mom (her daughter) was making her "famous" meatloaf and we were forced to go out to eat instead.
Years later I asked her if she did it on purpose and she said "You've had your mother's cooking. What do you think"

The story told here--one where anecdata suggests agency and autonomy have run amok and nameless activists are to blame--certainly rhymes with the NYT's disastrous panic about trans kids. Then you realize it's literally being written by the same author.

so much of the “earth is uniquely capable in a technologically outclassed battlespace” trope is built on the implicit premise that we don’t value gloating to an enemy who is alive in defeat and the villains do value that, and it’s nice to see it stated directly
