The cybersecurity nuts have another thing coming. I just had to do two-factor authentication to save a document in Word.

Good shitposts come out of provocation, and there's always a little bit of insight communicated in effective provocation. Unless you're dril, it's hard for a poster to access that insight without betraying some trace of sincerity. The normal failure-states for shitposters are an excess of sincerity (EG gimmick accounts dropping the bit to repeat a slogan) or self-betrayal, which amounts to a loss of insight.

Yesterday I was hanging out with some new friends and we briefly slipped into the sub-topic of how insane the 07-10 period was. There's a demographic band of people who had to search for employment during that period who have a bone-deep sense of how bad things can really get. I just cannot stress this enough. For years, everything I applied for had 300-to-1 odds. I am very happy that kids these days have no idea, but they very profoundly have no idea.

I have acquired a teenaged adult who has started emulating me.
What do.

I think for Halloween this year I'll make a bunch of those "I hate the antichrist" memes.

0th percentile: the truth wins out

50th percentile: nooo it's a heckin sociology of scientific knowledge

Miraculously alive.
Willing to beg for utopia.

Nightmare scenario for speculative fiction: the entire electrical grid goes down in the US for over a year due to an overlap between two mid-level climate catastrophes and political disaster. Inequalities drive a breakdown in the monopoly of violence. One organized faction of end-gamers starts a tactical nuclear exchange. This unlocks a new level of runaway climate processes, driving global conditions out of the zone for surface habitation.The light of consciousness goes out in the universe.

Humans are the knot-making species.

It is likely that Rick and Morty's iconography will arrive on Mars before any human alive today.

You must consume so many books that you fuck up the averages.

I HATE this new Silicon Valley design trend: someone redesigned all of my favorite websites with a fixed background that includes the image of a single large hair in the middle of each background.

Today by chance I happened on a copy of Niklas Luhman's "Essays on Self-Reference" so we're probably going to get some more content along these lines.

If I were constructing a system I would simply define each element, relationship, and process with rigor.

The great irony, of course, is that Britain is the prison island.
