Not just a professor, but a professor at Oxford and a leading linguist of his time. He edited the Oxford Dictionary.

Dystopias on the other hand, were way too optimistic about how long it would take for everything to turn to shit.

That’s probably Reed Richards as drawn by Alex Ross.

He must have had sooo many venereal diseases!

I think in Going Postal, which is also the best Pratchett adaptation IMO. It also has the perfect Vetinari in Charles Dance.

I have never read all of his books because at some point I will have read his last book.

Nah, people thought he was Tony Stark but he was really Justin Hammer.

You can bet that pitches for movies/ TV series are already written with LLMs and first drafts of scripts probably too.

His finest work: https://youtu.be/LE21qQHlOLQ

And that’s a tame story by Ito standards, really.

Why do you think the web was born? Porn porn porn!

I visited Japan last year, most toilet seats are heated there (also featuring built-in bidet). I got used to it very quickly and miss it now.

They had newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst, who pretty much invented the “yellow press”. And whose story is eerily similar to Musk’s, including a sudden swing from progressivism to far right nationalism.

Exactly my philosophy. Also the whole “escape reality” bit. I also like RPGs where I can be an immortal skeleton or a lizard prince (ok, both of those examples were actually just Divinity: Original Sin 2).

The new movie unfortunately didn’t explain it properly, but going into the time distortion just minutes later meant arriving years earlier in the future. That’s why the genetically enhanced apes had arrived generations earlier despite Mark Wahlberg going into the singularity first.

At the end of the movie, Mark Wahlberg goes back to Earth, but the apes presumably followed him decades later, arriving hundreds of years earlier on Earth. That’s why they could change history.

Also, it garnered him “friendship” with Putin. I write friendship in apostrophes because these sociopaths are incapable of grasping the actual concept. Putin is useful to Musk and vice versa. And each thinks he has the advantage over the other. Same with Musk-Trump and Trump-Putin.

Another fun fact, billionaires and their lifestyles emmit more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average person in their lifetimes.

That’s actually true worldwide. Wanna see how an economy looks like after over 30 years of almost uninterrupted conservative leadership? Look at where Germany stands now. Crumbling infrastructure, worst Internet in Europe, industry unable and/or unwilling to open itself to modern technology (best example being the German car industry).

CITIZEN! DO NOT BE ALARMED! YOU WILL FEEL A SMALL TICKLING SENSATION AND THEN DEATH!

Hollyhock? More like Hollyfuck, amiright?! (I’m so sorry.)
