The ghoul is a big part of a reason the world is the way it is today.

He and his heirs need lined up against a wall.

Infinite energy is cheating. Same with travelling backwards in time.

My intuition tells me the universe doesn’t allow cheaters.

But then I’m just an evolved bag of water cells clinging onto a clump of rock so what the fuck do I know?

I dunno. Thinking about XP gives me a semi.

Because they’re all rich kids.

Soft times make soft people.

Currently playing the Star Trek total conversion mod (which is excellent btw). Last night, as the Romulans, I took about half of the Federation’s territory in a war including Earth and genocided about 50 billion people. Everyone except for my cousin species the Vulcans. They get to be slaves.

Starmer is terrified of Reform. So he’s taken the really smart stance of pulling Labour to the right to court a demographic that would never vote Labour anyway, and in the meantime utterly piss off his core base.

Sounds like something a tax dodger would say…

I got a 3 day ban for suggesting the Jan 6ers should have been shot for being traitors.

Then got a 7 day ban for joking that a violent insurrection was needed in my own country.

I wouldn’t have minded if I was banned for being a filthy hypocrite.

Exactly. The guy’s a very talented shyster, almost to the level of a savant. He’s stupid in a lot of ways. His social intelligence is practically zero, for example. But to utterly discount him is dangerous.

Why is Jared Leto screaming at the crocodile?

I’m editing the first draft of my hardish sci-fi novel.

It’s the story of an arguably failed attempt to colonise another solar system, that falls into factionalism and civil war thanks to a couple of unexpected discoveries, with themes including the dangers of populism and misinformation.

I’m using Evie (a AI voice app) to read the draft back to me which I’ve found really useful for catching all the silly little typos that my dyslexic mind just can’t see.

I’ve also started properly worldbuilding the world now that the first draft is complete (if I started this earlier I would probably have used it to procrastinate and not actually get the draft done!). I’m using the Notion personal wiki app for it and I’m pretty impressed by it too.

I’m off work next week and have a fancy new laptop so looking forward to getting a good bit of work done then.
