I'm not saying that anyone unfamiliar with a given pop song is obligated to correct that unfamiliarity. I am saying it's weird to be proud of ignorance.

I don't see too many movies at the theater any more, unless it's something especially of interest. I saw a rumor earlier, to the effect that Kane Parsons may be in the early stages of developing a "Portal" movie, and I just to be on the record: I will see that movie in a theater.

Another London dispatch: If any of you know any Broadway producers or investors, I am begging you to convince them to transfer "My Neighbor Totoro" to NYC when it closes in London in January. It is one of most enchanting, moving, heartwarming shows I've seen & I want audiences here to experience it🙏

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

Generally speaking, polls have shown the Democratic Party's problem is not being seen as too woke, but weak and ineffective. Judging by tonight's primary results, Democratic Primary voters are intent on fixing this www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

gelliottmorris.com

New poll: Democrats' real problem isn't being too liberal — it's being seen as too weak

Americans, including swing voters, see the Republican Party as 20 points more extreme than Democrats — and the Democrats as weak and ineffective. So why would the *Democrats* moderate?

You know how sometimes an idea gets its hooks into you and won't let you stop writing it? Anyway, here's what I've been working on lately.

$A setting section from an RPG. Text reads: MARS FOR THE RICH Did you know that the Sahara would be far easier to terraform than Mars? Remember that, breaker. Let it stick in your mind when you see billboards of the Martian domes; when you watch your reality shows of Martian lives; when the vast share of your labour is siphoned off to fund their lakes and gardens. They could have built that paradise in the arctic, in the desert, on the ocean floor. That would have been far easier, and a fraction of the cost. But that wasn’t the point. They built their paradise on Mars so that you could never have it.$

Text describing the character options in an RPG. Text reads:
Step 2. Pick Your OS
Each breaker runs on their own unique operating system. Your choice here sets up a bunch of core character traits – how it is you can hack into the proxy’s network, what special skills you bring to the table, and what your particular needs and weaknesses might be.
>Pick an OS for your breaker.
You can find the operating systems on p. XX, but here’s a short list:
The Chromehound has hi-tech augmentations hooked into their nervous system, trading health for power.
ª The Double took over the life of someone who has access, and needs to keep up the lie.
The Ecstatic uses narcotics to put their mind in an altered state that lets them swim fluidly through the net, even as their body pays the cost.
The Ghost doesn’t have a physical body, and is risking their entire existence with every run they make.
The Outsider grew up in the wilds away from the network, and their brain lacks the telltale signatures that systems use to spot interlopers.
The Turncoat does this as a job, omegacorp servers backing them up for as long as they can justify their actions.

Text describing a downtime action in an RPG. Text reads:
LIVE FAST
When you try to seek release from your pain, rage and fears, resist Crosshairs. Roll with advantage if you have a residence permit, and with disadvantage if you’re unhoused.
On a weak hit, pick one amenity from the basic list or your residence’s.
On a strong hit, pick one from each list. On a miss, you overindulge; pick an option and it’s doubled, but also add a new crisis that puts your living situation on the line.
>Basic Amenities
ª Lose yourself in the moment: heal a condition
ª Let a dæmon you’re hosting take control: lower its pact’s drain by 1
ª Try to look normal and happy: refresh Crosshairs
>Habitation Block
ª Hear water-cooler gossip from someone in your target’s corp
ª Hit the club and make some friends: gain 1 Haze
ª Blend in with everyone here: refresh Loathing
>Reclaimed Structure
ª You see something coming from the desert: a convoy, a creature, a storm
ª Scavenge for spare parts: gain 1 Heft
ª Lock up and rest peacefully: refresh Collapse
>Temphouse
ª Hear something interesting that happened while you were sleeping
ª Grab a lift or transit pass from a housemate: gain 1 Flow
ª Pool your bills with your housemates: refresh Liabilities
>Shelter
ª Hear a new arrival describe how your target hurt them
ª A shelter employee shows you extra care: heal a condition
ª Rant with others about your trials: refresh Shackles

The cover of the RPG: a digital hand reaches out to grab a hologram of the planet Mars, against a rainbow glitch background. The game's title is GlitchHeart Vermin; its tagline is 'Brain-Breaking Cyberpunk'.
