It's only bad if there's a consequence beyond "you can't do that." Otherwise, meh, just try it again somewhere else.
CITIZEN, PLEASE STATE GENDER. FAILURE TO OBEY ACTIVATES DESTRUCTION PROTOCOL. YOU HAVE TWO DAYS TO COMPLY.
God damnit chill FedEx, it’s a T-shirt.
I, too, have concerns about the most wealthy committing crimes.
I hope that Sauron can do for them what Sauron did for Saruman.
21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures ... have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry.

Boston area folks:
I got that too, though I have a feeling that choosing the Immovable Rod as an award put me over the edge from another category.
But come on, Immovable Rod! The utility! The slapstick potential!
The themes too! Late 90s is Grisham, Clancy, King, Crichton, Higgins Clark, and Steel. Then 2012 hits and the whole audience shifts - James, Collins, Roth... the older authors are still around, but the wider audience is really cool to see.
My birth year is not that interesting, but the difference between the 1990s and the 2010s is fascinating.
Yeah. Honestly the clone is going to engage someone's brain more because they have to choose which repo to clone.

...mmmmmmmaybe you want to follow different people.
I think part of it was a growing understanding of licensing and public domain in the indie game community, and part of it was that Cthulhu just sort of entered the general zeitgeist somehow. You also get the generational effect, where people do what they remember was cool when they were teenagers.
I just called both my Senators to ask them to support Sanders' Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block weapons to Israel.

Minor league game all the way for that. If you've never been to one you're missing out.
Power Girl is also a tech nerd with a currently massively underused amount of sass, so really a good choice overall.
I don't think that people are mean enough to ICE cops, actually. Some of you have them as family members. What are you doing to shame them?
What if I downloaded the car?
Oh go sit down.
Ask your doctor if Fuckitall is right for you.
I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

The cover of the 1992 book The Whole Internet: User's Guide & Catalog. It features a wood cut image of a Renaissance man studying a globe.
