  • Exiting from consensus reality?

  • Rebuild the Mriya, you cowards

  • It predates Illuminatus!, which came out in the early 70s. The foundational text of Discordianism, the Principia Discordia, was published (i.e. photocopied and sent out to fellow fringe dwellers) around the mid-60s. Illuminatus!, however, popularised it.

  • Does he have a large adult failson he could parachute into the position?

  • Ah yes, Chesterton’s Balcony

  • The Helmsley Doctrine (“only the little people pay taxes”) is now law

  • Musk is neither a Tesla nor an Edison; he is a Barnum.

  • Hopefully this will make it less likely that Netanyahu declares Israel for the emerging US-Russian axis, a move which would be likely to end German military support for Ukraine (as alignment with Israel is Germany’s moral north star), reducing the “coalition of willing” to the UK, France, Scandinavia and a few increasingly nervous Baltic states.

  • “Why, not even God himself could sink this ship!”

  • It was only a better place when access was gatekept by universities and research institutes. Once the general public was allowed in, carpetbaggers from Florida (the same sorts who would get into crypto a generation later) realised that you could flood the discussion forums the trusting natives had built with spam for no cost, and if even one person out of millions took the bait, you’d come out on top. It became a blasted wasteland soon after that, with people retreating to mailing lists.

  • “…caught trying to plant additional explosive devices”

  • Musk has put Farage on notice, and so he has to prove his worth to the CEO-king if he isn’t going to be replaced with one of the Tate brothers.

  • I wonder how hard it would be to make some minimal placeholder resources/assets, sufficient to build the game and for it to run, even if it won’t look good or be particularly playable.

  • If they don’t want a politician as head of state, they could always make their own monarchy. They already have a royal family: the Marleys.

  • Orban has had a decade of this. He has made his choice. Let him take his place in Putin’s Eurasian Union State.

    If the Hungarian people don’t want to be the new Belarusians, they should consider doing a maidan colour revolution ASAP and send their strongman packing to Moscow.

  • What shape is Russia’s egg industry in?

  • “And so, I am putting America’s best homeopaths and aromatherapists on the case”

  • TIL Hitler only became a Nazi in 1940 or so. Before then, he was presumably just a robust conservative classical liberal.

  • In a topological sense, I have some good news…
