Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"
I hate how what I need to do is write books, and yet I keep thinking, "Maybe if I wore increasingly weird glasses and sat in front of my taxidermy with a bubble pipe and did unhinged houseplant reviews I could go viral and sell some books." Doing the work doesn't feel like enough, some days.

...and then he never woke up, because there's no way that will happen now. (I'd also take Halo 3)
They specifically want books before 2022 because they are uncorrupted by AI. They need books that have not been poisoned by the poison they are making. It's just like pre-war steel. They invented cultural radiation.
No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
This is revenge against Carney for cancelling the island airport expansion. But it's stupid revenge, because high speed rail is incredibly popular (~70% support) in Ontario. Having just seen this play out in Quebec, Ford knows he isn't going to get re-elected so it's unpopular policy time.

being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.
Metroid: Other M sucks. Then you see “Other M” is an anagram for “Mother” and you can feel your blood pressure rising. Before you can calm yourself, you realize “Metroid: Other M” is an acronym for “MOM” and you want to burn Nintendo and Team Ninja to the ground
