My boyfriend was showing me his cat and I leaned over to kiss the cat on his soft little baby head and he went "meow" and scrambled away because I'd been wearing my headphones and I accidentally jabbed him with the microphone.

And I said "Damn, this is exactly like in the Iliad"

It's wild that Germany is a low-cost sweatshop country now.

Every single last H1-B visa should be denied for at least the next 3 years.

American transit is, by global standards, in line with global funding as a percentage point of GDP like to like.

The difference is that failed British transit projects (much less Spain/France/etc) are Crossrail, a multi-billion dollar disaster that would've been the equivalent of finally connecting North and South stations in Boston and saved tens or hundreds of thousands of people 45 minutes on their commutes. Which is why they're having a local debate about having another disaster since the first one worked out so well.

And American transit projects are "For a billion dollars, we closed half the stations on the line for 6 months and when you came back down, all we'd done was replace two benches on either side".

As I gaze at the structural column in Copley Station, cracked nearly in two and held together with zip ties that have been carefully painted over to match the column underneath, I feel my soul intertwined with that of a small Italian boy of days gone by, who also stopped to look up at a large, groaning, newly painted tank full of molasses

Honestly, the more annoying Constantine is in your stories the more I love the bit about Bruce sending him an invitation for every party he throws so that Constantine cannot crash any of Bruce's parties. Every single additional thing you've posted about Constantine has made that bit better.

Whatever they are, they're tight enough into the deep lore I've never heard of half the people they're quoting before this.

So I'll allow it.

Reportedly, Xi found out about the rolling blackouts from Biden.

Oh, and they have a MAD swine flu outbreak they're not telling anyone about.

And they recently discovered that 200 Million children were actually lies for the last 40 years so their population is 1.1 Billion and shrinking fast instead of 1.3 Billion.

It's Rutger Hauer's fault.

If Rutger Hauer was less amazing, we wouldn't have the boner.

/I might might mention the limitations of late 90s- honestly anything short of Avengers Endgame final fight GDP of small African nation level CGI where we could do quite a lot, but with the same approximate limitations as Silent Hill.

Rutger Hauer was probably the best part of Blade Runner, the worst part is the way the movie gave everyone a throbbing boner for ridiculously illogical cities where it’s always 2am and raining.

In other news, the Gaudi houses all use ChatGPT translation (the word delve) so I'm wondering if this is a Europe thing as well?

Or generally ESL?

The New York Times gets caught using ChatGPT.
