Sire!

Tony Ladruzo?

Huzzah!

SpagOt.

Dozen’t it, thought?

Says he’s starving… is literally called Walter Wiggles… are you the cat in the photo?

The three at the bottom are all essentially the same car but with different trim from different manufacturers. The ‘original’ is the Citroen Ami and it’s an absolute blast to drive.

“The world’s largest waterfall is fed by the world’s second-biggest pump. The world’s biggest pump is used for the air conditioning that keeps the surrounding forest at a pleasant 20°C cooler than natural temperatures.”

IPFS was my first thought. I’ve only recently started using it, but it’s pleasantly surprised me so far.

That’s quite gay.

Damn!

I’d like to direct you to someone who can help, who can explain what’s funny about it.

But maybe despite their expertise they won’t provide the context you need.

And you’ll still be at a loss.

Want to feel old? Duke Nukem 3D came out closer to the collapse of the Ptolemaic Dynasty than to the present day.

Yes, when I realised I had a moment of sudden, uncomfortable shock. I had to pause the movie I was watching, which was about shark attacks.

I was going to comment but I remembered I left the door slightly open.

Also, a kickass soundtrack by Hudson Mohawke.

Hey. Heyhey. Heyheyhey. Have you ever noticed that your warships have giant barcodes on them? It’s so that when they return to port they can scan the navy in.

I’m imagining a cheap porno being filmed in a shitty hotel with the cameraman wearing the Steadicam rig used in The Shining.

Bro, bro, just listen, bro, we just need one more lane, bro, two tops.

I get the tone of the conversation here (i.e. “hah, good”), but Dubai is a metaphor-made-real for the future world at this point. The wealthy elite in their glittering towers who gorged on a burning planet are fine. They’re far above the water and their biggest inconvenience is the damp wheels of their nine-litre civilian tanks at the water laps on the twenty-lane highways, and that’s the photo that is being splashed across every page. But their wealth and prosperity was built on the backs of the millions of slaves living in shanties and slums living under those highways and on unpaved wastelands. They’re dead but they’d already been marginalized by the elites to the extent that they were legally not really people anyway. They’re disposable and replaceable, they will be disposed of and replaced.

Any hardship experienced by the elite minority will be borne a thousand times over by the proletariat majority. We really need to be careful what we wish for.
