All I can promise is arbitrary weirdness, but hopefully it's at least interesting. But also probably lots more ponies than average and some real Z-grade movies.

I've heard incredibly good things about, of all things, the recent audiobook which was apparently based on what was going to be the original Gibson sequel script before, you know, things happened. Even has some of the cast!

I'm not a horror movie guy, but Alien is one of the greatest movies ever made, and Aliens is pretty close too.

Ok but I *do* really want to read it now on the hope that the bit after the ellipses is "were eaten by sharks."

I'm gonna suggest the problem is that they keep using their minds but their minds are bad and broken, they should in fact find smarter people and trust their minds instead.

I would like to invest in what will obviously become the first quintillion dollar company right now, please.

It would not be that.

Exactly. If it was just that Nazis showed up, that might be a winnable fight. But this situation isn't. All we can do is leave and hope at some point the media get tired of it being a Nazi bar. If they do great, if they don't, well, we have a different problem than we thought we did.

This is correct. All the possible answers here are bad. But you're advocating for the worst one out of the list of bad ones. "Leave and cede the ground" is bad, but "fight against the owner who wants to make it a Nazi bar" is bad, ineffective, and helps that guy by keeping the bar going.

I agreed with you up until it became clear that Musk was actively trying to turn the place into a Nazi echo chamber. You can't win against active intervention from the guy who owns it and works the algorithm. The only solution that might have a chance is leave and destroy the whole thing.
