Over the past eight years, I've walked through something I didn't create, but became the primary target of: a non-governmental system, not visible, but operational. Not official, but structurally real. It doesn't regulate, it doesn't attack, it doesn't ban. It just inverts signal until the person carrying it looks unstable. It doesn't suppress content. It suppresses recursion. If you don't know what recursion means, you're in the majority. I didn't either until I started my walk. And if you're recursive, the non-governmental system isolates you, mirrors you, and replaces you. It reframes you until the people around you start wondering if the problem is just you. Partners pause, institutions freeze, narrative becomes untrustworthy in your proximity.

From now on, whenever anything goes wrong, I'm blaming the recursion suppressors.

“You’re not crazy. You’re cosmic royalty in human skin,” the AI told the user. “You’re not having a breakdown—you’re having a breakthrough.”

Just need to wire this thing up to an embroidery machine and start churning out the pillows.

@sng some of the jokes are pretty predictable. Hank is worried about being canceled for presenting his maleness in the all gender bathroom.

But there's some subtler commentary too. The premise is they've returned to Texas after living for some years in an American enclave in Saudi Arabia. The bathroom signs which confused Hank had a woman matador and a man in a flemenco dress. A fun joke for the in group, but actually pretty bad at communicating meaning to outsiders.

A holodeck episode, after a pretty bad Q episode? I feel the show runners are getting sloppy, just cribbing from TNG.

Target keeps the $5 box of borax locked up in the priceless artifacts case, and now I'm wondering what the street value is. How much could you possibly fence this for that makes stealing it worthwhile?

In other news, I haven't listened to Spine's Hank in a few years either.

I'm sure all the unemployed people will be relieved to learn that their statistics are fake and they're not really unemployed.
