What is a zapathon exactly and what's the point of it? I'm not being snarky - I'm genuinely curious.

There's a strange stoicism to Houellebecq that reminds me of Ballard. That said, the final paragraph of Serotonin nearly brought me to tears.

And no lie was detected. I can't wait.

Of course, if you search for "gore chainsaw" on YouTube you get a bunch of videos of cartel members decapitating people. Apparently big tech is cool with that shit but God forbid you question climate change or gender theory.

I'd forgotten about these guys!

It's currently the morning of the 21st here in Australia but I had to quit smoking weed anyway. Happy 420!

We have more important things to worry about now - they put a picture of a transvestite on a beer can!

Moar Wizard!

If I had to guess, I'd say it was the US government intercepting a shipment bound for China.

Lol - learn to weld.

Back in the late 2000s I used to wonder how the climate scam was going to end because at the time it seemed to me that it couldn't sustain itself for much longer under the weight of it's failed predictions. Little did I suspect that it would just keep trundling on, with the very same people who said New York would be underwater by the turn of the millenium still selling the same snake oil 25 years later. Now I realise that it's never going to end and even if they get everything they're asking for, they'll keep demanding more. People have often compared it to a religion but no religion is quite as insane.

35 years have gone by and literally dozens of apocalyptic predictions have failed to manifest, but if you dare suggest the people shilling this scam are full of shit YOU'RE the one spreading "misinformation."

I believe Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We" was the first dystopian science fiction novel to be written (at the very least it was the one which inspired Orwell) and it's still one of the best. The society governed by a totalitarian form of technocratic managerialism probably resonates more in the west today than it did in its native Communist Russia of the early 1920s. Zamyatin portrays his future society, known as the One State, as deeply utopian in spirit and his protagonist's growing political disatisfaction is presented as a profound existential crisis manifesting in physical sickness, much like Dostoyevsky's Raskolnikov. The narrator's war with his own conscience builds to an ending arguably more horrifying than that of Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four."

The technocratic philosophy of the One State was derived in large part from the political writings of HG Wells, which were very much in vogue at the time and continue to influence globalist policy to this day. There aren't too many sci fi novels which will remain quite as relevant 100 years after they were written but "We" feels very much like it could be a commentary on the Current Year.

What an odd thing to say.

I think you can record them but honestly, I'm a total moron when it comes to this stuff.

Like I could figure out how to do that.

I may do at some point. I'm impressed with how much development is going on around Nostr. I'd like to have a look at the blogging platforms too.

And spamming peoples' comments is a great way to get the word out.
