Not enough for the presidential race, sadly; perhaps enough to scrape by with a few Senate victories.

Those are the actors who played Duncan Idaho in the David Lynch adaptation and in the two Syfy miniseries. So, yeah, it’s not wrong, just incomplete — though I have no idea why it only serves up those three. There’s certainly no limitation to three images, as can be verified by searching for “Sherlock Holmes actor” or the like.

The level of fucked we are is too big for words

I wanted to say something darkly comedic about the AI bubble popping under the new regime, but my heart is too sick to make a joke

My sense growing up in Huntsville was that the airport ads for defense contractors were kind of like, e.g., Exxon sponsoring a pavilion at EPCOT. The intent wasn’t to push any specific consumer towards buying any specific product, but to pump out a positive image for the company generally.

And a lot of those contractors’ people fly through Huntsville on business. (For those not in the know: The airport is just down the highway from Redstone Arsenal, which is where we brought all them Nazis we recruited to help us beat the Commies to the Moon. The only reason Huntsville exists as more than a sleepy/dying cotton mill town is the space program and missile warfare.) There may well be deals along the lines of “advertise here and your people get the cushy lounge”.

almost every smart person I talk to in tech is in favor of mandatory eugenic polygynous marriages in order to deal with the fertility crisis. people are absolutely fed up with the lefty approach of using generational insolvency as a pretextual cudgel to install socialism.

Ah, Huntsville. Where the downtown convention hall is the Werner von Braun Center.
