synthetic cryogenic antihydrogen with some kind of magnetic suspension to keep it away from the walls or go home

The police user manual for Palintir (the extremely creepy surveillance system that Peter Thiel is involved with) has been leaked

Remember when the same creepy spies proposed 'Total Information Awareness' back in 2003 but the Internet got really angry and so they stopped and never did anything like that again? And then they also didn't outsource it to good ol American capitalism, and the Internet didn't cheer them right along. And so this didn't happen. I remember that.

So, out of a) watching Stranger Things Season 3, b) hearing John Mellencamp and c) stumbling on Beth 'Neverending Story' Andersen's other 80s hit, 'Dance Dance Dance' from the Scarface soundtrack,

@Gargron I guess a LOT of people today are EXTREMELY ANGRY ALL THE TIME but feel they aren't allowed to express it and so they really want to see media personalities, youtubers, podcasters etc saying what they can't

I'm not saying it's healthy, just that that undercurrent of white hot, deeply suppressed, poorly directed rage everywhere is very much a thing and it's why politics and the Internet are both essentially a low-level broad-based civil war

I don't think I've ever seen lyrics so quintessentially Western Idea Of 1980s Soviet Music

... Wait, it's a Halle BAILEY? Well that makes more sense, I was wondering if they were planning on doing something really cutting edge with digital de-aging.

Why is Megan Markle's baby causing earthquakes in Southern California and how are the Young Farmers and their teen moms, Halle Berry's mermaid, Super Rugby, and a Slovenian statue of Trump involved
