every American action in the last 80 years has been predicated on the serendipitous circumstances of our physical location on the globe in 1945, right?

everything is so dumb and horrible

As I understand it, our factories weren’t destroyed in WW2 so we dictated post-war international trade based on the dollar, including the sale of oil, but now that our manufacturing has been outsourced, we must control the oil in order to secure the continued dollar-based world order.

System 7 point something

Honestly, same

i have not read the book, I can’t speak to this.

as a movie on its own merits, I loved it

we are so excited for this game, and so grateful to Joost for his time with us!

A Macintosh SE running Final Draft

so I got Final Draft running on the Macintosh SE I picked up at this weekend’s SoCal Vintage Computer Festival.
