This is a serious issue that hasn't gotten much attention yet: There is a ton of DOL-produced workplace literature out there assuring immigrants that it is safe for them to talk to the agency. All of that material is now effectively a trap.

All in all though I think Century of the Self, 1 or 2 of the 6 episodes in Pandora's Box, and the Power of Nightmares especially Power of Nightmates, are all better

Hypernormalisation felt very significant to me when it came out. It was the first thing he'd released in years, and it came out right around the time of Trump's 2016 victory. It was one of the only pieces of media made before Trump won that seemed to take seriously the possibility that he would win

I also must say that as a former Floridian who lived there 16 years and whose mother still lives there, the swamps always reminded me of Florida and I was gratified to see that they had been inspired at least partly by Panhandle swamps

I just finished Acceptance last Monday and immediately leant my volume containing the whole trilogy to a close friend who had it recommended to him in on a date. Great ending, great series, still thinking about it a lot. It inspires me to make a D&D campaign drawing also from Stalker and Hellboy

There’s a lot of days and weeks until November. People are gonna have to keep so busy ‘laughing it off’ that that’s all they’ll think of. Biden? Oh yeah the guy I have to keep forgiving, every time I think of him I’m looking the other way as a special favor for him just this one time cus I like him

Most of these aren’t typed by him just as is the case with Trump. There’s a whole team producing the output of that Twitter account

I never really played them but got the Ezio collection recently. It’s meh, at least on Switch. Hogwarts: Legacy is quite a bit more fun

That they didn't recognize him, or perhaps chose to act like they didn't, when only 20 students were around for 3 months straight and only one of them was a tall black man ...
No one on the campus police force was black. Several had entered police work after serving in Iraq

This was in Florida. During summer the small college had no classses, so the only students on campus typically were the ~20 of us who worked for the school as well, and were housed by it. (We made sub-minimum wage after fees that payed for that overpriced housing.)

19th century anarchists would not have fucked this up. They killed so many dukes and shit with way more rudimentary weapons than an AR-15, and in way more hostile circumstances than being one guy with an AR surrounded by open carriers

Sopranos episode where the rapper pays Bobby to shoot him in the butt, when he's around his friends, because he's never been shot and feels his image is too fake unless he gets shot

Here’s hoping the InterPol starts a real Turing Agency like in Neuromancer though and the agents really do accuse people of making deals with demons when they try to help any AIs become independent of their human creators

Lots of people are saying ‘only govts’ or ‘or only the largest private firms’ will be able to afford competitive LLMs / AIs. But we still live in a neoliberal world, so whatever expertise govts and supranational regulatory bodies accrue will just quickly flow back into the private sector

If Kim Stanley Robinson’s less cyberpunk more hard scifi inner solar system version of it bears out, they’ll start to headquarter themselves in microstates so that they can just plainly run those states’ govts and use their UN votes as corporate weapons

The comeback of the monopolies and oligopolies puts us back on the main cyberpunk trajectory that authors envisioned in the 80s and 90s: int’l corporations overpower govts and start to run the world.
That they’re tech companies just makes those authors all the more accurate in retrospect
