Well, I didn’t say that I also hope he spends the rest of his days locked up in a cell, Hannibal Lecter style. Which I do.

Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whalehammerhead shark had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.

And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whaleshark, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whaleshark before it then had to come to terms with not being a whaleshark any more.

This is a complete record of its thoughts from the moment it began its life till the moment it ended it.

Ah … ! What’s happening? it thought.

Er, excuse me, who am I?

Hello?

Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life?

What do I mean by who am I?

Calm down, get a grip now … oh! this is an interesting sensation, what is it? It’s a sort of … yawning, tingling sensation in my … my … well I suppose I’d better start finding names for things if I want to make any headway in what for the sake of what I shall call an argument I shall call the world, so let’s call it my stomach.

Good. Ooooh, it’s getting quite strong. And hey, what’s about this whistling roaring sound going past what I’m suddenly going to call my head? Perhaps I can call that … wind! Is that a good name? It’ll do … perhaps I can find a better name for it later when I’ve found out what it’s for. It must be something very important because there certainly seems to be a hell of a lot of it. Hey! What’s this thing? This … let’s call it a tail – yeah, tail. Hey! I can can really thrash it about pretty good can’t I? Wow! Wow! That feels great! Doesn’t seem to achieve very much but I’ll probably find out what it’s for later on. Now – have I built up any coherent picture of things yet?

No.

Never mind, hey, this is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I’m quite dizzy with anticipation …

Or is it the wind?

There really is a lot of that now isn’t it?

And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground!

I wonder if it will be friends with me?

And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence.

I hope he lives just long enough for them to give a Nobel prize to whoever fixes the humanitarian nightmares he’s creating. He deserves to see all his bullshit unravel in front of him.

Jesus Christ…

I just read the first two books of Dean Koontz’s Jane Hawk series in January. It uses exactly the same sort of AI programs in OP’s commented article. The AI targets people who may at some point change the world in a way they don’t want. Through a series of other AI and human elements, they can track any person, anywhere, as long as they’re using technology. They then send someone to inject the target with a nanomachine version Elon Musk’s neurolink, which rewrites their brain and turns them into a manchurian candidate slave/sleeper agent. They literally start calling them “Rayshaws.”

Good series, but fuck, that’s just way too close to what’s going on in that article…

Our president is a moron who’s been quoted to say, “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any.”

The head of Health and Human Services is an antivaxer with worms in his brain who believes in Chem trails and that HIV is a harmless virus that doesn’t cause AIDS.

It’s not eroding, it’s

Considering we’re not even prepared for hurricane season, either, and our president is trying to dismantle FEMA, I think it’s safer to just say the US is just a little more fucked in general.

This is the only other site I could find with the same title. https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2025/06/20/3338600/multi-dimensional-cyber-operation-destroys-israel-s-internal-communication-infrastructure

No idea how reputable it is, so take it for what you will.

Tasnim News Agency (Persian: خبرگزاری تسنیم) is a semi-official news agency in Iran associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

Edit: just gonna leave this here from their wiki…

COVID-19 pandemic edit According to the Anti-Defamation League, Tasnim has alleged in a series of propaganda articles that COVID-19 was part of “an American and Jewish plot at world domination through population control” hatched by Henry Kissinger, who is described as “the unique Jewish scholar and American strategist” and “a master controller of government and international finance.”

This is the shit they’re worried about???

It was totally fine all those times Israel targeted Americans though… Just sayin’

That’s a shame. Thanks for trying though!

Or maybe he’d prefer some chicken… tacos? Who doesn’t love a good taco?

Oh, I’d be very interested in that if you can point me in any sort of direction.

If it’s anything like his lawyers presenting papers written by chatgpt, they should check pictures for weird looking people and odd non-letters/words on protest signs.

That was kinda my thought too, “How would I describe something that is so foreign to anything I’ve ever experienced that I’m entirely overwhelmed by the sheer realization of it’s existence. So much so that I can only describe the fear felt when seeing it?” The focus would first be on primal instincts before your brain could even begin with physical characteristics.

"This horror that stands before you is no man, nor it anything resembling man in any facsimile other than it stands upon two appendages that could be mistaken for feet. The realization of it’s mere and miserable existence finds you stricken with a cold sweat akin to the feel of a pale and slimy fish at the market. It’s visage strikes in your being a fear that cores your stomach deeper than any forgotten, but suddenly realized promise. "

Shit like that?

Ignore this… Duplicated my post somehow.

No… It’s not one thing and another, it’s just one fucking thing, ignoring due process and throwing people into a foreign gulag! We may as well just start making oubliettes a real thing and tossing people in…

8% of US prisons are privately owned by for profit organizations that contract out use to the state.

Intellivision did actually have a Kool-Aid game, but you didn’t play as Kool-Aid Man. You played as a couple kids trying to find the ingredients to make some Kool-Aid. It still had the Thirsties in it, but the gameplay was very different.

Also, I’m pretty sure that, aside from the games, the Thirsties were exclusive to the official Marvel Kool-Aid comics. I remember them in commercials, but I’m pretty sure I’m Mandela-ing myself and what I’m actually remembering is Pilsbury’s Goofy Grape and the rest of the Funny Face characters.

The funny coincidence is that almost all of the Funny Face characters are depicted drinking from straws on their packages. Which kind of makes me wonder if the 2600 game wasn’t a subtle dig at them.
