New planet Earth. DA voiceover, as the camera fades in and pans over warehouses: “Data. The source of life for the largest and fastest growing ecosystem on the planet. At dawn, this robot dog patrols it’s territory through the server racks of eastern Pennsylvania, hoping to survive another day, and protect it’s herd. On the horizon, the buzzing of a Luddite insurgent groups’ EMP drone flock approaches…”

- Comment on Barack Obama is the youngest living former or active president 1 week ago:
Bush Jr. Did a bump set for Trump with the patriot act, going around Congress for wars, stacking courts… Citizen’s United was rammed thru by 5 justices appointed by W Jr (2) Reagan (2) and HW (2). Which makes it pretty obvious that the CIA and by extension now the courts are essentially just the henchmen for the American corporate cartel. Trump is a patsy so if all this shit backfires they can go “whoa whoa whoa WE didn’t do a bunch of genocides and political murders! That was that crazy guy and all his cartoonishly evil henchmen! We’re regular adults and we’re reasonable. We’ll just dial back the fascism a bit for a while. Now shut up and get back to work.”

- Comment on People always want their ideal conversation to sound like movie characters, but in reality most people talk as if they're in an interrogation room or how people sound like on police bodycam footage. 5 weeks ago:
Idk if you hang out with people a lot and cultivate good banter then most movie dialog is subpar in comparison. Just got to step up your game friend 🤷
