"Only god can judge me."

The god:

The ancient Egyptian god Medjed, who looks like a man in a Halloween costume of a ghost with just his bare feet sticking out from beneath the sheet.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named

Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend

of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was

This will be the hill I die on, “porn addiction” is not real, that phrase specifically is used as a dog whistle and is backed only by pseudoscience which has been created by right wing fascist organisations with the intention to demonise minorities. It is not real, actual science proves it isn’t.

A few of Moore's recent writing advice videos have popped up in my feed the last few months and they're quite good.

Also, Alan Moore is the better wizard, which I say as someone with no small amount of knowledge on the subject.

Like so many other things, they share a stunning lack of self-awareness.

This is the train of thought the Oceangate guy had. “Safety regulations on submersibles are too restrictive! Submersibles are so safe that they don’t need such stringent safety protocols!”

I think about this constantly

Tweet from user Jason C:
“I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist.”

Quote from user Max Dubler:

“That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse.

True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer dance parties”

Allow me to explain the Alan Moore v Grant Morrison feud:

Moore is right and Morrison is wrong.
