This was a fun book. Solid narrator on the audiobook. (Ray Porter)

Brings that whole Clint Eastwood “Get off my lawn” vibe to another level.

It’s like that person who does a pitbull rescue. Then acts surprised as it tears apart the neighbor’s chihuahua.

I’m not a witch, I’m your wife!

Injection, but not vaccine.

I came here to say Dungeons & Dragons. People of all ages and walks of life play.

Yeah, but I wish this admin could be trusted to get him looked at, honestly, in person, by a professional.

But we can’t. We can only look on in horror as he presents like someone who could have Alzheimer’s.

Fair.

He is Biden’s age, a year or two makes little difference. Alzheimer’s runs in Trump’s family too.

Biden presented with the standard waxing and waning of dementia. He probably was aok some days. That’s how it works. Dementia onset is more like a picture that gets hit by the sun part of the day, when it’s sunny, not a total erasure. A gentle fading.

Alzheimer’s, however, presents with anger, erratic behavior, and paranoia on the trajectory of a downward spiral. Aggression is a hallmark.

Yes. That is the Theil model for social engineering. To do it via suggestion in AI.

Bot responses so trends are assumed where there are none. Movements even.

No longer do you have to search through enshittified Google, just tap the AI at the top to find the answer for you.

But why did the AI choose that answer, for you?

That’s no longer a universal thing.

You should read the mental gymnastics being performed either by republicans or by AI bots for republicans.

A giant circle jerk of Elon isn’t our enemy he just doesn’t understand politics and Trump does. On repeat.

And, Congress sucks, and because they suck so badly and won’t pass hardly anything, this big beautiful bill is the best bill to fix the debt we can get right now. On repeat.

Those two bylines are everywhere. It’s probably going to stick too.

Heartless & privileged. Why are the rich deciding our fates?

These guys do give info on strategy, they’re not exactly secret about it. Bannon used the term “muzzle velocity” to describe the inundation of the press with so many terrible things, We The People would not know where to start or how to organize. They’d instead be scattered without a single issue to galvanize large numbers. Promoting numbness instead of protest. “Muzzle velocity”.

You don’t listen to Bannon, or any of the rest, because you believe them. You listen because it tells you about the admin and their intentions.

And the Jerry Springer vibes.

This sounds like a Reddit comment.

Mass Effect recycled many names from science. I hadn’t realized Garneau was one of them until now. (Leviathan expansion, ME3).

Hey, Q happened right away.

But yes, the set looked lol, but it always had. There was only TOS to compare it to. Stewart was awesome from day one. Deanna just looked cold in the mini skirt.

It’s the crew. They don’t pop on screen. Except for that holographic doctor. He’s pretty great. The blond guy and the Klingon girl have annoying cardboard cutouts for personalities. Harry & the second are just bland.

TOS, DS9, TNG, Picard, Discovery were all good right away. My favorite viewing site went dark so I haven’t gotten around to SNW. Or the end of Picard.

I never watched that one. It took a great amount of effort to get through episode 1.
