  • Hot take (not entirely serious):

    Now that Presidents can’t be prosecuted for official acts that are crimes, Biden should enact Project 2025 EARLY give himself unitary executive power, and refuse to leave office.

    This would either destroy the country, save the country, or force SCOTUS to reconsider their ruling.

    Of course he could just deem the imbalance on SCOTUS a threat to national security, and write an official law saying that all major parties must be equally repressented by the judges on there (a one out, one in law).

    That would also work, and run less risk of tearing the country apart.















  • There’s also that team that built a mobile fish tank that the fish controlled, which proved that fish could learn and retain a task.

    They taught the using food rewards, then the fish were allowed to just wander around places (although, they had to be supervised incase the drove in risky ways).

    The study also showed that some fish (within the same species) were smarter or at least, better at the training than others.


  • I don’t get where do the “regular” balloon danglers come from… Do they just choose to go up with a balloon?

    The balloons are stories right? Like it’s a visual metaphor… But then does that mean people are only reading one story per person in the entire world?

    How did people end up in the bog? Did they just let go of a story they didn’t like? So are the danglers are people writing stories rather than reading them, and the danglers are the authors?

    That makes sense… A comic book author writing about an aggrandised version of themselves. That checks out from my experience hanging out with authors… But they don’t give away or latch on to each others stories that I’ve seen, that doesn’t seem common.

    Where do the danglers come from again? Because the guy constructing the balloon wasn’t dangling from it… Are the green people minions in some reading dimension?

    I don’t think I really get the metaphor. Maybe it’s just not supposed to be examined. Lots of fiction collapses under examination.
