I wonder if right wing faux intellectual writers realize they've adopted the writing style of sociology professors. Another win for the cultural and scientific dominance of scientific materialism, I guess.

I've been getting back into playing Sid Meier's Alpha Centauiri (directed by Brian Reynolds). It's definitely the game I come back to the most over the years, and each time I learn new things about it. It also grows more prophetic as time passes.

Erik @erikthebearik.bsky.social and I have a theory that Arin Hansen and Dan Avidan were supposed to voice the ship in the bottle and time capsule in Date Everything, but for whatever reason, it didn't happen. They are kind of conspicuously absent from a roster of a lot of beloved VAs...
