It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

It's vastly more comforting to believe in an imminent robot apocalypse than the truth: the things that will destroy us are extensions of the unsexy but obvious problems all around us. We are not doomed in one grand way, but a thousand petty small ways.

We have received new intelligence on AI██-BE (The Oni Gauntlet). Please read the attached documentation and make sure any new information is sent directly to the Panopticon Supervisor at the Federal Bureau of Control. #CONTROLResonant #Onimusha
Oni Gauntlet (AI ██ -BE)
CONTAINMENT PROCEDURE: 
None necessary. This item does not have any effect unless worn. 
DESCRIPTION/ALTERED EFFECT: 
An aged, golden Japanese gauntlet with a cloudy blue jewel. The item's base material may be extradimensional in nature, though further study is needed.
The following is a list of the item's altered effects on its wearers and surroundings:
•	Increased strength
•	Ability to perceive certain paranatural beings
•	It may be able to grant additional abilities after █████████ █████
•	Some agents report hearing a woman's voice speaking in Japanese when in the vicinity of the gauntlet.
Similar gauntlets have been mentioned in Japanese legends, but the pictured gauntlet is the only one confirmed to exist.
BACKGROUND:
The Bureau was first made aware of the Oni gauntlet after coming across legends of "insidious, dark" paranatural entities, locally termed "Genma," said to be active in ancient Japan. Historical accounts involve the notable samurai Miyamoto Musashi, documented as active in the Kyoto region of Japan during the 1600s. These sources also contained frequent mentions of Genma. He was said to wield supernatural powers after obtaining a strange gauntlet from ████████████████████ in his efforts to defeat the Genma. 
Though its existence was confirmed, the gauntlet's present location is unknown.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/
A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.
