It's 1991, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

“Do you mean to tell me that if my four-year-old was dying and the only thing that would save her was a new kidney, that I couldn’t fly to Mexico and get one and put it in my handbag?”

I don't even know where to begin.

Alright, here's a world building pitch: A #fantasy civilization where every thousand years (give or take a few centuries) there's a Great Filter type event, some calamity that destroys everything and resets the few survivors to Stone Age levels of science and magic.

Basically, for thousands and thousands of years, every civilization has been built on the ruins of the previous one, unable to advance beyond a certain threshold. A world of wonders, doomed to repeat a deadly cycle.

This isn't going to happen (because Republicans would never do something good) but it's a neat idea https://www.wired.com/story/startup-nations-donald-trump-legislation/

@nprofile1q... Wait, hold up... so the main draw here is that these cities wouldn't pay any federal taxes, right? I mean, that's what this stuff always boils down to. So they don't pay any federal taxes, but still benefit from things the federal government provides, funded by other people's taxes.

Yeah, seems fair.

I am actually angry.

My mom bought my daughter a book to read at bedtime, and as I'm reading it I realize the entire god damn thing is A.I. slop, front to back. The illustrations are OBVIOUSLY Midjourney, and the text is most likely ChatGPT.

I love children's books. Reading to my kids at bedtime is one of my favorite things. So I am exactly the kind of person who would get pissed off here.

My mom's always had awful taste in literature, but this is a new low.
