Rabobank on the unfolding worst case scenario:
Americans have no idea how much the world is shook, folks. Here in Thailand they have a running tally of how many days' worth of fuel the country has left.
A little bird wearing a trilby hat is never a mistake.

"It’s happened. The party’s over. The shale boom has entered a plateau and late-maturity phase in which the fantasy of indefinite surge growth is no longer credible..."Drill, baby, drill" is a fantasy. America's own oil industry knows it."
I wonder man…

A Karazadi Noblewoman's Funeral Procession. The deceased is carried in the palanquin to her resting place - fully intact, as befits her high station. (A scene from the latest set of chapters from "The Necromancer's Daughter", now up on my patreon - link in next post)
Why don’t we have a CEO band income tax bracket? It feels like a universe of difference between earning $180 000 and $500 000+
This is devastating 💔
Tell me when it reaches 10
Even if they do - Will ANYONE trust them again?
Could one be looking for a 20-years later ?
Though I’d be happy with a 2-months later (just 20 years in the making)
GOD I miss Hectic Planet. That was a hoot to read and yeah I got into US ska as a result. 1990s in Portland W00t
& now moving house
WHY DO ALL THESE HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES WANT TO BE CONNECTED TO THE BLOODY INTERNET? Our landlady installed light switches that don't work properly unless you use them in conjunction with an app. I don't want a fucking app for light switches. I just want to switch a light on and off, using a switch.
Sky News: Learner driver arrested for drug driving during test Police said officers could smell cannibals after they pulled over a 26-year-old learner driver because of a faulty brake light. He was later arrested for drug driving.
CANNIBALS.
"Sixty-eight percent supported billionaires being taxed more to fund public goods like healthcare, housing and climate action"

Another thing missed by many, an LNG terminal is also a sitting duck target that explodes rather spectacularly

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.
Still to come:
The much publicised (and much ignored) vulnerability of aircraft carriers in modern warfare.
In part because ItO and EB on some levels are both at least inspired to be Dungeon Delves without the (trad) Fantasy - whereas Mythic is exploring Knights and interstellar being part of a massive spaceship; not inspired by the ‘same genre idea’
Interestingly I don’t feel Mythic or Intergalactic will have the same ‘spiritual successor’-vibe.
I’ve been a bit preoccupied to think this one through.
They are both set in recognizably the same ‘world’ though different time periods - much of the same rules exist in each (&, probably more important for ‘spirituality’, Chris’ attitude seeps through each)
"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored.
People's work is not the government's to give away.
If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP!

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

“Obviously we could never have seen this coming” - government official line
- “in the long run giving money to our mates-, we mean, investing in infrastructure, crying out loud, the Price’ll come down - it’s not like there’s an alternative power source pouring out of the Sky”
