That book probably went through such a crazy "it's over/we're so back" cycle in 1984-1993. Huge majority government win... Coalition completely implodes and destroys the party

A creature's health is a measure of its capacity to withstand physical punishment. A creature with weak health succumbs easily to disease or injury, while a creature with exceptional health can endure and survive deadly diseases and injuries.

It's kind of nice that we're getting an object lesson in digital sovereignty - "oh shit our entire country runs on American digital infrastructure and standards" - through something with no real stakes

The dairy issue in question was the tariff rate quota and who gets access to it (retailers vs processors), not supply management as a whole

The details on supply management here seem wrong to me, which isn't shocking since this appears to be someone's AI Google search summary

The nix-hound is a medium-sized, aggressive pack predator. The meat of the nix-hound is sweet and tender, and has modest magical properties.

...essentially by depleting natural capital and corralling people into awful lives of servitude. that is a successful institution. is it a good institution?

there's a good if dense book called Retreat of the Elephants, an environmental history of China, that essentially argues that states that successfully pursued engineering/irrigation works whose gruelling maintenance needs immiserated generations of people were able to defeat rivals....

love to read about south american history. A guy called Anaxagoras Chármander was Temporary Consul for 46 years. He believed the moon did not exist and punished so-called 'lunistas' very harshly. He is still widely considered the father of his country

tangentially the crypto craze was incredibly poorly timed to prime lots of people against AI who would otherwise be neutral-to-positive - "ok guys this is your second 'world changing technology' in the last 3 years and the last one was expensive pictures of monkeys, fuck off with this"

I really liked the film but walked out thinking about how Robert Eggers' Odyssey would have leaned so hard into the reality that the past is the furthest, strangest country there is. The Northman and The Witch were so good for getting in the heads of pre-modern people

I have spent almost no time since leaving the theatre thinking about the (cool, gross to look at) Cyclops and lots of time thinking about how it feels to be walking around a world you know is dying, because you killed it, and what the grief and guilt of that must be

It's really genuinely gutting. What if you caused the end of the world and spent years coming back home only to do a mass shooting in your own house?
