Fire is great. We couldn't have built civilization without it.

Capitalism is great. We couldn't have built civilization without it.

but free market capitalism isn't the solution to everything, just like we don't light everything on fire just because it burns.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I go back and forth on this one case in particular. Do I think Jeff Bezos would by a random newspaper just to destroy it? Yes. Do I think Jeff Bezos said to himself "I think I've got what it takes to be a hell of a newspaperman," tried it, fucked it with a fash pivot, and lost interest? Also yes

Nah, it's a nice place to raise little adventurers in. :) good schools, plenty of warlock patrons knocking about

the idea of portals & chunks of other places is to give players options for their characters (as recent arrivals from literally anywhere else). a metagaming conceit.

Being last, and near the edge that isn't an edge, and a bottom that isn't because there's no above or below and nothing that would be beneath us, there's still a sense that we're…

Sane people don't think about it. that the Nothing might seep in. from Outside, across the border that isn't there.

The cracks in creation allow bits of other places to fall through. Not that the infinite has a bottom, but we seem to be "down stream" of everything else. Stuff, um. Shows up. Sometimes it's a portal, and folks walk through. Sometimes whole landscapes 'pop' and were always there, but are also new.

Not that space means anything in the ethereal and astral planes but as the Last creation, we had to make do with the space that was left. It's pretty far from everything else. It's pretty close to the... edge. Not that there's an edge to the infinite but if there were, we'd be on it.

'first' and 'last' are meaningless in the time-before-time, but The World we know is the Last creation, made of left-over flotsam and bits & bobs by the small gods and wild gods and a few forgotten powers after all the Other worlds were made.

Not everything locked together especially tightly

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

"Mamdani told me he understands that his success or failure will not be seen as only his own. He is right."

This is true but also tells on itself because The Discourse Gatekeepers do not declare centrism dead because Eric Adams proved to be an incompetent buffoon crook. It only goes one way!

I can accept that Tron is a very niche property. But Disney could have at least helped themselves out *a little* by picking anyone other than Leto as the face of the last installment.

The amount of rendering software we have to learn at school is nuts. Ive already learned cad, sketch-up, rhino, grasshopper, photoshop, indesign, and that is all just year one, next year I have to learn Blender, Enscape, and VR for architecture. It's fucking frying me.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.
