Slowly, gradually and tentatively, my mind fog went away. I knelt on the floor, covered in their blood, the serrated knife stuck in a ribcage. Outside, sirens. One minute till detonation: too late to flee. I screamed. But then I recalled my affirmation. I... I lowered the carbon footprint! 😌

I started out pretty AI neutral, aside from the environmental concerns, but I'm, being pushed into hating it more and more because it keeps making things I care about actively worse, and the results keep speaking for themselves in a really bad shitty way.

The popular theory is that Trump is building military installations full of drones and snipers because he plans to never leave office. I think there is an alternate explanation: he has severe paranoia from multiple assassination attempts, and spends every moment in DC in abject fear for his life.
