Great game. It looks amazing, is full of grace notes to manga/anime/Japanese cinema/video game history, and is fun to play (fast-paced without being brutally hard).

They laughed at Galileo, but they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Is this vibe-coded?

Some cozy escapism then

I read that Irish- and Italian-Americans were only granted recognition as White after they were recruited en masse (often from criminal/street gangs) into police departments and put to use against Black populations migrating from the Jim Crow South.

And a popular Albanian boys’ name in the 90s was “Tonibler”, after Tony Blair

Bowie’s problems at the time were with cocaine, which LA was awash in. West Berlin was more a heroin town.

So the appeal of the Antideutsche/Staatsräson ideology is that you get to both be and atone for your unspeakable ancestors, making modern Israel a sort of Schrödinger’s Reich?

Wait for someone to crack the bootloader and then someone to get a Linux/BSD working on it and/or code up a bare-metal web view/SDL/uxn/PICO-8 that runs on it. That way, when the App Store stops supporting OS versions that run on it, it can still be reused as generic hardware.

The 70s were truly a foreign country

And early-20th-century Germans dressed like this (on at least one occasion):

Maybe if they added zombies or something

The Roma do that as well: their demonym means “men” in Romani.

Before or after the US dropped bats surgically implanted with incendiary devices on Tokyo?

Apparently China has conspicuously displayed similar vessels near Taiwan recently.

also, reggae songs

Being too centrally located can be a curse (see also: the “Holy Land” in the Middle East)

That reminds me of the story of the South American dictator who was so despised that, when he was deposed and sentenced to death, every member of the firing squad independently decided to “accidentally” aim for the wrong side of his chest, denying him a quick death.

If your cat relieves themself outside of their litter tray, something is probably out of sorts: perhaps they’re distressed by something in their environment, or otherwise have some health issues. The cat’s litter-tray instinct normally makes them uniquely suited to indoor living.

The 52% of the UK who voted for Brexit are, by all accounts, hopping mad about the metric system (or the “Napoleonic system” as some of them call it) and being forced to buy goods (other than milk and beer) in the supermarket measured in litres and grams. The Brits mocking Americans for measuring things in blue whales or monster trucks or whatever aren’t those people.

Which is another good argument for decentralising generation; lots of small- to medium-scale renewable generators distributed around the area in which power is consumed would require less transmission than a few huge generators (especially if they’re things people would rather not live near, like coal turbines or nuclear plants).
