Section from Jingo by Terry Pratchett: And then he realized why he was thinking like this. It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

today, in paragraphs I think about most every day of my life:

the most Washington Post editorial board maneuver ever: Make a tweet that’s mostly about Trump trying to overturn an election and how this fact is undermining faith in US institutions and turn it into a story about… why we need to make grandma work longer and cut veteran benefits

Walked into McDonald’s wearing my Grimace costume and the manager shot me with a speargun

A newscaster says "It's now been several days since the Earth transformed into Dracula." Next to him is satellite footage of the planet Earth with a fanged, devious face in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The newscaster continues "scientists have indeed confirmed that the face rising out of the planet's surface is definitely Dracula's." A scientist reads a sheet of paper that says 100% Dracula and says "yep, that's Dracula." The newcaster continues "we go to the Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan for comment." Billy Corgan says "the world is a vampire."

That’s a real Musk job you did there. You really did a Musk job on that one. *trying to get something catch on* You really Musked the hell out of this. Musked it to pieces.

Here in tech bro world we have so many innovations for you to try:

Expensive unregulated taxi
Expensive unregulated hotel
Picture of monkey (formerly valuable)
Imaginary restaurant that serves bad food
Imaginary scam money
Twitter but it sucks now (in 12 different flavors!)

This is literally what the CIA was spreading through Indonesia before they helped kill millions of people

Dozens of other background actors were wrangled to the same site, where, one by one, they were told to step in front of a series of cameras on metal rigs behind glass. "Have your hands out. Have your hands in. Look this way. Look that way. Let us see your scared face. Let us see your surprised face," Rubalcaba, 47, recalls of the instructions she was given. Rubalcaba said the actors had their faces and bodies scanned for about 15 minutes each. Then their digital replicas were created. But here's the rub: She was never told how or if this digital avatar of herself would ever be used on screen. If it's used, she might never know. No matter what happens with it, she'll never see any payment for it. Disney did not return a request for comment.
