My pleasure, my favorite of theirs is The State Lottery ft. Noam Chomsky.

Get beaten badly by a team.

Play again.

New team is you plus members of team that recently easily beat you.

Now they are not good.

I don't hate Google I hate that antagonism to privacy is largely met with apathy in our society.

Games need a 'this is the last match for me' switch. The number of times I've reflexively requeued (or been auto requeued) when I meant to do something else is a large number.

I think that the right to private digital communication is more essential to the security of a free state than gun ownership.

Did nobody in this comment section read the video at all?

The only case mentioned by this video is a case where highschool students distributed (counterfeit) sexually explicit images of their classmates which had been generated by an AI model.

I don't know if it meets the definition of CSAM because the events depicted in the images are fictional, but the subjects are real.

These children do exist, some have doubtlessly been traumatized by this. This crime has victims.

I'm sure I read it online it might have just been a scifi writing prompt from the site that must not be named (reddit).

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy has an alien species that evolved on a planet (Krikkit)with constant thick dust clouds.

Upon first witnessing the glory and splendor of the Universe, they casually, whimsically, decided to destroy it, remarking, "It'll have to go." (...) the Krikkiters built an incredible battlefleet and waged a massive war against the entire Universe. The Galaxy, then in an era of relative peace, was unprepared, and spent the next 2,000 years fighting the Krikkiters in a war that resulted in about two "grillion" casualties

Isaac Asimov also mused about ribbon worlds. ie tidally locked planets with a habitable zone in the twilight regions.

I seem to recall also reading a story about a species on a ribbon world but because of precession had a 10,000 year (or so) day. They had a constant slow migration and eventually started finding the ancient forgotten ruins of their own society.

Also nightfall by Asimov.
