Say, you still in Seattle?
Reasonably close. up in the San Juans.

Book of Worms and the 50 Names of Marduk were fun. If he made those up... wow.
One word: Plagiarism
Done in a way that is convincing to Lovecraftianites but otherwise not. There are parts of the book are derived from rituals that do work (with Cthulhu inserted in), but it is the kind of book that Occultists scoff at and that superstitious paranormal people think is legitimately real.
In an allegorical satire of sci-fi stories that worry about how technology will change society as well as nostalgia stories that fret about how technology has changed society: A man gains immortality, perfect health, and the ability to fly from a procedure that also involves cutting off his big toe. Rather than be happy for him, all his friends and acquaintances keep urging him to "think of what you've lost"
So a break-in happened a few houses down from my girlfriend's parents house, and the police were going around asking the neighbors if they saw anything. They got to my gf's parents, and knocked on the door. Gf's mom opens the door and greets the officer, and while they are talking, the family dog manages to escape. The dog (Buster) got out onto the porch and was growling at the cop, and the cop decided to go right up to Buster and try to grab him. Buster nipped the cop on the ankle and backed off. Cop swears, takes a step back, pulls out his pistol, and in what is clearly an act of revenge and absolutely not self-defense, shoots Buster three times, killing him.
Cop goes to hospital, plays it up like the wound (which I was told barely broke the skin) was a huge thing. The family, hysterical and wrecked (major animal lovers), file a formal complaint with the police department. The police department, I'm guessing to strengthen their case in case they get sued, FINE the family a bunch of money for "out of control animal" AND charge them for the hospital bill despite the wound not requiring stitches or anything more than a fucking band-aid.
Buster, the 9 year old Australian Shepard, was a friendly family dog. Great with kids, loved people, and was protective of his property from strangers. He was absolutely NOT any sort of menace. There wasn't a mean bone in his body.
And people wonder why I hate the police as much as I do.
Musk walks a fine line between genius and bankruptcy. Sooner or later he'll go under. I'm just hoping that doesn't dissuade the corporations that space is a fucking profitable enterprise.
It'd be nice if we colonised the galaxy as some kind of utopian star trek, greater good of humanity project but that's not going to happen. Human beings are neither great nor good, they're greedy little self centred fuckheads who will only engage in something if they can make a quick buck on it.
In the real world it's either greedy corporations racing for the mining rights to the asteroid belt and setting up overpriced chain restaurants in low lunar orbit or else humanity ends in this pathetic fucking gravity well we call Earth.
Either option suits me just fine.
You hope more molestors off themselves?
No I just meant the election results sorry. I wasn't thinking.
The sentient magic sword that decides the chosen hero is, in fact, lecherous, jealous, shallow, and possessive, and chooses heros based on who it thinks is hot. The hero is the only one with a telepathic connection to this sword, and the sword controls his or her destiny.
I'm being made to do online training. About radicalisation.
I'm actually doing the test, mostly for the lolz, but I'll be damned if I'm emailing my certificate to the training coordinator, when I have an entire thesis on this topic.
This is dumb as fuck. your supervisors prove yet again that they are incompetent toolbags.
