They will still say it was vaccine death, and this was fabricated to cover for it.

Eh, it’s easier for them to say it was mRNA shedding from vaccinated people hanging around his house.

they would just say “LOL NICE DIGITAL WINDOWS, THIS SHIT AINT REAL!!!1111ONEONEONE”.

“I’ll just open up this fake airlock door now.”

Besides the Covid vaccine, I also have consumed some dihydrogen monoxide. Shit.

Donald Trump doesn’t know how to operate a website

“Someone told me I need pipes for the website. We need to get the best pipes. Do they come in gold plate?”

The Telltale game (I haven’t played it yet) seems to be based on Drummer from the TV show. TV Drummer is radically different from Book Drummer. Book Drummer, certainly in the first six books, is a very minor presence, as the security chief on Tycho Station. TV Drummer is a composite of several book characters.

IIRC, there’s a bit of minor head cannon involving Book Drummer and “The Butcher of Anderson Station”. That might be referenced in the Telltale game, since it’s a prequel for TV Drummer.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Additionally, give the kids guns.

Also, those parking lots are likely place holders for building lots.

You’ll never see this in New York City or in DC for example.

There are surface lots in Manhattan, though they are being developed into multistory buildings and no new surface lots are being constructed.

Some of the remaining surface lots probably continue to operate as placeholders for “future tall building site”, while rights/price/building codes are being hashed out. In the meantime, you can charge a lot of money for a parking spot in Manhattan.

But someone recently said he revived the NFT market single-handedly, with people making a bigly 1000% return!

There’s barely any advantage to being on Mars compared to orbiting some random Lagrange point or the sun itself.

Oye Beltalowda.

Besides the earthquake, there was also a literal rain of fire across the planet, like a blast furnace, that likely killed everything that wasn’t underground or underwater.

Instead of drilling a hole, another way to do it is to slam an asteroid on the other side of the planet.

The loophole seems to be having an app pinned to the screen (I’ve never done this, but it presumably keeps the phone from locking) while requiring you to have an unlocked phone to use NFC payments. This doesn’t seem to be a common scenario (I can imagine doing this in some sort of kiosk mode, or giving the phone to a kid and locking the app so he can’t wander around).

Samuel Delany, if you’re interested in look at New Wave stuff.

Africa-focused sci-fi but I don’t remember what that genre is called…

Africafuturism?

I had no idea you could die from jogging a marathon so I think you would be wrong about that.

Literally the first person to run a marathon, the Greek runner Pheidippides bringing the news to Athens about the Greek victory over the Persians at Marathon, died from exhaustion, his last words being “Rejoice, we conquer!” as he collapsed.

Humans: let’s eat the substance that these plants make to keep the wrong animals from eating its fruit. Let’s eat it for fun!

That’s the Federal indictment brought by Jack Smith, not the State indictment brought by Fani Willis. Moving the Georgia case to Federal court would involve the Federal court district proximate to Fulton County, not relocation to a whole other state.

Maybe all his companies are like this, it’s just the first one that’s been so public and shown his true colours.

I’m not going to look for it now, but there was a Twitter thread from last year that kind of talks about this.

Basically, SpaceX and Tesla are companies that grew up with Elon as an early investor, and have learned early on how to contain him. They institutionally have firewalls in place to keep him from wrecking the real work they’re doing, like dedicated Musk-handlers that slow walk his bad ideas until he changes his mind a few days later.

Twitter basically had none of those institutional firewalls, and could not container him with company culture.
