Replaying Control and it's true that Jesse has a certain amount of cringe "uh, that just happened" type dialogue. But you have to understand that it's ok when she does it because I love her.

Hooray Control!!!

Decided to read Billy Bat this weekend and damn, that Billy really can Bat.

Imagining a political movement to abolish the presidency on the grounds that it's harmful to the presidents. Posting pictures of Obama before and after his presidency with captions like "Still think electing someone presidents is harmless??"

Those carts with the big cylinders for flattening out asphalt are probably the most emotionally evocative construction equipment. Or maybe concrete mixers... Fuck, now I'm not sure.

At the end of Sphere (1998) the main character is like "if we couldn't handle these powers then no one could, humanity's not ready" and I'm like buddy, you're a psychiatrist who slept with a patient. Maybe give somebody else a crack at it then we'll make the call.

If elected president of social media, I will bring the scream back.

Next big thing: secular vows of silence

Sometimes I feel an urge to post but when I try to think of something to write all that comes to mind is a hovering diamond, softly glowing and perfect in it's geometry. Not very funny really.

Electoral college reform where we randomize all the state boundaries and don't tell anyone until after the election.

The purpose of a joke is what it does.

New voting system where we give all the votes to a guy and she picks a winner based on her best judgement. Can't guarantee unanimity or the independence of irrelevant alternatives but it is non-dictatorial (the guy isn't a voter so she doesn't count).

Skin Deep is a great game about crawling through vents, setting dudes on fire, and what if cats could send you e-mails. I recommend it.
