Gundams require a steady supply of tragically orphaned teenagers, that's going to require a series of ethically questionable OLC letters to even set up. Scopedogs? Tell a room of gen-Z folks they get to pilot a mech with heelies and the line will be out the door.

Giving each of those IGs a gundam is gonna be expensive. Scopedogs, however, are nice and cheap.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

I was thinking specifically of the people getting internet-mad at the localizers for "Journal with Witch" earlier this year.

luffian.bsky.social @luffian.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

These are the ones that kill me. You think "Journal with Witch" is a stupid title? "Delicious in Dungeon" sounds clunky? Better brush up on your Japanese and talk to the authors I guess.

Ace Combat makes a lot more sense when you understand that it isn't a flight sim but instead is a mid-tier Gundam or Macross with 90% less giant robots.

It really is something that people on the outside just don't comprehend. Hell, it only really clicked for me just how much the US relies on private carriers when the critical parts I'd ordered while at undisclosed-airbase-in-SE-Asia showed up in a bright yellow DHL bag.

If you work out an angle where papal succession works like it does for the Autarch in BotNS I'm down. It could give the reader a plot-relevant reason for why the church keeps all those bits of saints around. Rat infestation in the archives? Better chug this alzabo and eat a bit of Saint Gertrude.

It seems like, for this specific case, there is no product to actually photograph. It's likely a drop shipper who never puts hands on the product. Like custom-print t-shirt storefronts, the best they can do is a "this is what it would probably look like if it existed".
