He was probably referencing Atlas Shrugged. You know, the bit that was originally a titan of industry monologuing about wanting to kill Jesus Christ because he represented the evil of altruism, until Rand’s editors made her change it.

There are non-flat-headed cats?

Slava ukraini!

All the small birds have already been picked out

Is Comic Sans the autism font now?

I wonder if, in local folklore, this act of God was interpreted as divine judgment condemning those who then ruled and/or the system they ruled under.

Looks like he’s found his happy place

The government declared the Black Panthers to be a gang, or close enough. Them, or current community/mutual-aid groups also criminalised, having an initiation involving such tests to weed out infiltrators is completely plausible.

When you’re Israel and Germany is charging forward, and willingly incurring critical Holocaust-guilt psychic damage, to condemn you, you know you done fucked up.

As a Jew, wouldn’t he be having some Chinese?

On one hand, we live in interesting times. On the other hand, if the world does swing back towards peace, a Trans-Siberian Railway rebuilt to Belt And Road HSR standards will be pretty cool.

It really bugs me whenever I see a US film that has been dubbed into Canadian or Australian English and the characters say things like “you’ll be back on your metres in no time”

Will this have the effect of invalidating property titles, laws or other institutions imposed by the French colonial regime?

Asimov wasn’t any more of a legislator than Dante was a theologian

The finish looks impressive for a print. Which filament did you use?

If this kills Electron web apps, Node apps that suck in gigabytes of redundant modules and other profligate and sloppy coding practices, who’s to say it was entirely a bad thing?

We could do with more polyhedral bread. Or not: perhaps the texture/consistency is terrible?

Presumably, if Firefox version N breaks ad-blocking, someone can make a hard fork of version N-1. Security patches, upgrades to OS support and things like new CSS/HTML features can be cherry-picked or reimplemented to it, though Firefox updates in general will not be admitted, as it’s a hard fork (in the way that LibreOffice or MariaDB is). At worst, Firefox will actively make it hard to do this, closing their source or changing their licence to one which prohibits it, requiring any updates to be reimplemented clean-room style, which will slow things down, though if the alternative is actively enshittified, it’s the least-bad option.
