- Comment on Putin’s one-way ticket to The Hague: international law experts, judges, and diplomats on a hypothetical trial of the Russian dictator 3 days ago:
Would be a stunning achievement and a victory for rules based international order. Might even prevent a world war, if I can be outrageously optimistic.

Jokes aside, you’re right. Progress is never easy, fast, or guaranteed and we truly are standing on the shoulders of many, many non-giants and there is still so much work to do. It’s humbling and awesome to contemplate.

This crooked little vein of logic is what gave us sovereign citizens though, so be careful. Time may be an illusion and all, but schedules still exist.

The time I was ambushed by shitting dicknipple hentai as a teenager is a consequence of one dude picking the wrong sandwich shop a century ago.

This is the real reason I follow the Primitive Technology channel. One of these days he’s going to make an arc welder out of mud and bugs.

So the foreign ministry has a vtuber. Presumably to protect their identity? Fine. Are we going to entertain ragebait about it?

Returning to say I’m really happy with the time I spent with LNWTD. Very tight scripting, perfect pacing. Mood and tone on point, nothing about it seemed out of place. It deserves to be more than an “instant cult classic”.

After a quick look, it sounds like something really special. I’ll have to give it a look, thanks!
Currently really trying to make time to watch Late Night With The Devil. It’s hard to find time for stuff like that with so much kids’ media in my diet.

It’s a shame the spotlight is being monopolized by big studios doing reboots and sequels in an age of democratized creative tools and access. Indie and low budget should be having a renaissance. There’s some good stuff coming out of Bollywood too now.
- Comment on We can dream right 6 days ago:
Yeah I think that’s how people normally act, the toxic online dynamic is hardly inevitable, like we’re evolving into crabs or something
- Comment on We can dream right 6 days ago:
Nah, I’m coming down hard on sequels for their own sake. I only really want to see a sequel to anything if the writer has something to say. With some sequels the point of the thing is the spectacle itself (looking at you, John Wick), so that’s alright I guess. There’s room for sequels, but it has to have some reason to exist beyond bankability.

Environmental storytelling

I agree with everything you said, so I’m not sure what I’ve got backwards ?
- Comment on We can dream right 6 days ago:
Privately owned studios should all be run at a loss as a point of pride among the wealthy. “Oh, you’re funding a popular film? For profit? How embarrassing for you.”

We need to find in ourselves the permeability to pass through a great invisible filter that separates the past and the future of humanity. We are collectively at the kind of moment that only happens once for a species.

- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 1 week ago:
This is the real problem on our hands. If you like the rule of law, there’s no winning scenario here no matter who comes out on top, because we’re already talking about abusing the law or changing it to suit political aims, rather than the operation of a coherent body of law being impartially carried out. In a sense the damage to our judicial norms and the larger issue of the credibility of an international rules-based order of at stake, and we’re just not winning that battle lately. Too many bad actors.

Okay yeah it needs work, but a sitcom is only as good as its writer’s room anyway

That makes me want to hear about the bad ones
- Comment on Is it greener to just burn plastic? 1 week ago:
Freely admitted that it’s a badly thought out idea. I am a random person on the internet, idly chatting. I’m not at leisure to join you right now, if you’re needing more rigorous debate. I am speculating about technology that exists currently (wiki) but isn’t yet advanced enough for such an application.
- Comment on Is it greener to just burn plastic? 1 week ago:
Plasma arc gasification is very low emissions versus anything we currently do with it, but I would obviously prefer we just stop using plastic. Given how unlikely that is, the idea of plasma trucks going about eliminating the need for waste management infrastructure is at least fun enough to bring up conversationally.
- Comment on Is it greener to just burn plastic? 1 week ago:
I wish we could get a mobile plasma arc gasification truck that goes around turning rubbish into glass and hydrogen with no landfill, but until that day… Don’t burn it, just do your reasonable best to avoid buying it.

Science is basically journalism about the natural world. If ants have exposed themselves to a laughable scandal, it’s only a matter of time before we’ve nailed their asses to a wall
