"And then it was now; and then I don't know what happened." It's pronounced *sigh* like it looks. Maybe tomorrow. (He/him)

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

There Will Come Soft Rains By: Ray Bradbury In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine! In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk. "Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. "Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."

We never got into the details because it was one of the things the writers found cool but various other humans found a little pipe-y was how absolutely do-able most of Hardison and Breana's viral hacks were. The algorithm is a system built to be hacked.

The point of the Lab Leak conspiracy is that it allows you to pin the blame on the designated out-group you're currently trying to persecute. Probably Jews, remember that tens of millions of Americans are willing to believe COVID-19 was a (((globalist conspiracy))) to control the world.

The thing I can't really figure out about Lab Leak Theory is like... so what if it were true? Like is the idea that we could sue China for damages? That's not gonna work. It wouldn't really change anything both to how we responded to Covid and how we act going forward.

My favorite Ulysses Grant fact is that he was born Hiram Ulysses Grant but hated that his initials spelled "HUG" so he applied to West Point as "Ulysses Hiram Grant" but his sponsor accidentally put "Ulysses S. Grant" and then the Army said "your paperwork says Ulysses S. Grant so that's your name".
