Story pitch: a billionaire's security detail dispose of him in the wake of an apocalypse and hide in his shelter. But it quickly becomes apparent that he was working on something much worse, and if they don't find a way to stop it the last remnants of humanity will come to an end ...

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

On the plus side this retroactively makes the motivations of crazy resident evil villains who want to turn into a big gross monster by injecting themselves with The Virus make more sense. "I'm downsizing my security detail as I am now a huge amorphous meat beast, you can also cancel my appointments"

Universal masking, which we tried for two hot seconds in America before people started throwing tantrums & posting up with their guns, is about the same kind of understanding ourselves as a collective we would actually need to counter fascism. You care about the community so you set a group norm.

For those on the front line, like healthcare workers, or people who got acutely sick early on, it was being caught in a thunderstorm. For everyone else, it was like being indoors, warm and dry, during a thunderstorm.

it makes perfect sense. Trump had lost re-election and there was a real hope for the situation to improve and the effect of covid lockdowns was to empower certain categories of labor's negotiating position vis a vis remote work or reduced supply / higher wages.

The heart of Covid occasionally feeling like the good ol’ days really doesn’t speak well for our current situation.

Saw this argument: “you think if the Republican Party disappeared the conservative voters would too?” talk about getting mad at an argument you’ve made up. No. I think they’d be in disarray and have no centralized power base to cling to and would break up into splinter parties for a while.

As aside: this is basically how I view Court of the Archon (which feels like it HAS to be a bunch of old pewter/finecast only models bc they don't seem to have a modern box and I'm forced to just grab a picture of them off google image search). Look at these crazy villains! There is a snake person!

Something that I think people need to consider is that when Pinochet lost the 1990 referendum he refused to cede power and ordered his military to rally and oppress the people. Pinochet had full unilateral control of the military with no meaningful legal checks. He wrote their paychecks.

I'll tell you why the regime keeps blowing up small Venezuelan boats. Because they think it's fun. This is no different than a video game to them. They don't see the passengers on the boats as human. Going after "drug cartels" is just their excuse to kill for fun. They are evil children.
