Broadly speaking I have zero patience for the whole "anyone who doesn't like and dislike the exact same things I like and dislike is WRONG" attitude, people have different tastes and if you choose to be mad about that you will never know happiness, go be miserable somewhere else you dweeb

I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

It feels ridiculous to be a SF writer and rail so much against this sort of thing but, like GenAI, the existence of this kind of misdirection is actively going to set back real research because it will hoover up the support and funding with large promises, and deliver nothing of value.
All of this ‘recreation’ is a grift. Someone took a wolf and inserted some maybe dire wolf genes to make a worse wolf. It is not the extinct beast ij form nor can it behave like one nor have any natural ecosystem to belong to. It’s a shill for investors.
Dire wolves were not close relatives of gray wolves. They last shared a common ancestor more than 5 million years ago. What Colossal has done is make something new and slapped a dire wolf sticker on it, as if an organism equals a hypothetical genome.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Today a co-worker told me I'd be a great life coach. Which only confirms my previous judgment that he had very poor observational skills.

I've lost track of time. Every couple of days someone likes a reply I posted and I think "That was a year ago." No, that was 46 days ago. Everything moves so fast now.

I don't know what people expect of a minority party in the legislative branch. Their abilities are limited thanks to November.
Americans have to realize that no one is going to magically save you. It's up to everyone, not just minority legislators.

Yep. My feed has more people complaining about Democrats than about Trump. It’s ridiculous.
"The Democrats in Congress will try and deal with the constitutional crisis through the realm of politics and the courts. That plan pales in comparison to my plan, implying that Democrats should commit violence I unwilling to either commit or even state plainly."
