We don't talk nearly enough about the atrocities Ronald McDonald committed during the Highland Clan Wars

Seeing Zenigata's given name is a rarity, and I will point it out every single time. He has not joined the ICPO yet, in the beginning of this series (or Part 1, actually). He's a member of the Public Safety Bureau, which is concerned with national security threats.

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!

Look out Portland, our Big Pipe is full

I will remind people on this website (not James, I suspect he knows) for what seems like the billionth time that Joseph Goebbels' PhD was in theater.

overheard a dad at the bookstore showing his little girl a copy of Redwall and saying “it’s like Lord of the Rings but with small animals!”

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Learning why it's like that

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
