Murray The Producer and Theora The Control at a computer in a still from the TV series ‘Max Headroom’
I was thinking about the Guy In The Chair archetype, and I think maybe the first full manifestation in pop media may have been Edison’s controller Theora Jones in ‘Max Headroom’
I was in a Ralph's a few months back and whatever 70s soul song they sampled for 'No Good' came on and my brain had a mini seizure trying to parse that it was not The Prodigy and was at half speed with a disco beat.

No, go after them because they're bad for society, like arsenic in the water.
A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.
if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them
I will not be satisfied until every single grifter and their families who profited off of human misery are reduced to a zero balance bank account.
The thing that strikes me about Bondi yelling about the stock market is that she is articulating a clear moral stance: money is more important than human suffering. If you can make money, then you shouldn't question how said money gets made, or who gets hurt. Her allegiance is to capital.
So I read in some article that folks are adding deliberate typos to their writing in order to dispel suspicions that they’re getting machines to speak for them. That’s coward shit. I say just use the word “fuck” more.
In the face of enshittification, commence the enfuckening.
Incredible photo.
I knew you were a big nerd, man. But I legit did not expect Shadowrun popping out. :D
What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things
Melanis get down to Clan of Xymox. Koleris are into Hocico.
If they did leave, good fucking riddance. Without much higher taxes, their very existence in California is a net loss for the residents of it. Their only value to the state is tax revenue.
But we all know they'll threaten to leave but never will.
Those little subway dwelling weirdos.
In my games I tend to make them sing at night, so people hear it deep below the ground. Kinda inspired by how Gollum would sing to himself. But more froggy.
The songs are about their favorite tunnels and bugs and friendly fishes.
Been over a decade since the last time I was in one of those, and it still feels too soon.
It IS worth noting that the reactors going critical is entirely the creation of Michael Stackpole, and later included in the Mechwarrior games. The OG Battletech game has no exploding engines, just 'crits shut it down because the reaction ceases'.
KILL EVERYONE NOW!
CONDONE FIRST-DEGREE MURDER!
ADVOCATE CANNIBALISM!
EAT SHIT!
FILTH ARE MY POLITICS!
FILTH IS MY LIFE!
Wonderfully sly cut, here. Love it.
The three most valuable things in Vimary, in lowest to highest value:
- Tools and weapons made with advanced metallurgy.
- Blackmail not known by the Magdelites.

It is the Eva Moon, powerful and silicon in nature.
If you expect to be raptured next week, please be courteous and move your car out of street parking in advance
We'd love to have any and everyone who isn't a shitbag fascist, spread the word!
Slave to the Needle has a variety of artists that have done me and several friends very well over the years. Kept meaning to get a Tera Sheban torch and scales from Elijah Cole, due to work he did on a friend.
That quote has been kicking around my head for around two months now. Yeah.
I believe that much like all dogs are good dogs, all covers of Cities in Dust are good covers.
This title is such an obscure reference in 2025 and I love it.
