In a free market, your insurance company gives you a discount on your insurance to “Own” your organs for resale once you die.
In a free market your insurance company denies you lifesaving treatment as out of network, so they can harvest your organs when you die and make more of a profit.

So I asked our Amazon spy box to play “Happy music” and Rain Me In by Sam Fender and Olivia Dean came on… I kinda want to hear someone take the general idea of it and do a really upbeat cover of Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails…

It occurs to me that Pico8 has a similar magical philosophy
I wonder if you could do Teletext in Pico8?
Pico8 has a 128x128 resolution, so it’s even more limited than Teletext’s 480x500
But Pico 8 characters are 4x8 not 12x20
So you could fit 32x16 characters on screen VS 40x25 for teletext

I feel like we lost a bit of magic the day CEFAX/Teletext was switched off.
I wonder if there it scope for a simpler version of the internet which has the feel of CEFAX, but with more social features.

Does anyone else just pass out wherever they are at 2AM and damn the consequences?
I feel like I use to worry about falling asleep and getting mugged, but now I just trust in fate, and savour the extra few minutes before oblivion takes me and I magically wake up in my own bed.

The Skiffy and Fanty Show: Book Review: CL Hellisen’s The Shape of Monsters
Hellisen’s work is shot through with mordant, often wry humor, especially from Aleks. This does leaven and lighten the mood and tone at points and primes the reader for the next dark twist and turn…

I've weighed pros and cons and I think it's still worth pointing out something out: the accusation is horrible and unjustified, but giving it airtime normalises it.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3
