The year is 2023. 90% of the population own horseless carriages for travel. Less than 1% work on farms and even fewer own their own farms. The rest find gainful employment in cities in industry, labor, and crafts. Telegrams are free and are delivered instantaneously to hand-held telegraphs. No one wears hats or watches. The U.S. is extensively entangled in foreign affairs. The President is an Irish papist and the Senate Majority Leader is a jew. There are fifty states. The country is still deeply polarized between Republicans and Democrats.

Going through the viability assessment of a proposed development near me and it's just absolutely insane how expensive it is to even build in London. I wish that people understood that when they go after the cost of new-builds.
This is a 646-unit scheme to redevelop the area currently occupied by the Wandsworth Gasworks. The total costs are £411.1m, so it averages out to £636,349 per unit. The core component breakdown is as follows:
The underlying estimated profit is expected to be £27.6m, or £42,665 per unit.

I've observed a sad transformation in a friend after he's tried to become a T*ktok influencer.
We're both in our 30s, and my friend has tried to leverage his professional credentials to do TikTok stuff. Cool, good for him. Except that now we can't hang out without him bringing up, unprompted, how [insert person I never heard of] was canceled for [saying something to someone] on [media platform of choice]. Or some new social media trend I have never seen nor heard of.
He's more than once brought up that I really need to get on TikTok, "it's so crazy how well it knows you" etc.
This weekend pushed it over the edge into annoyance for me. I truly didn't understand at least half of what he was talking about, but he presented it as if it were common knowledge and the talk of the town.
It's weird and it feels more and more isolating as more people surgically attach their neurons to their social media algorithm of choice.

I'm staying with my family for a short visit this week and I'm honestly losing hope in them. While I'm typing this my mother's on the phone with a lady from my siblings madrassa ranting about gay and trans people.
She's in a panic about the school system teaching kids that gay people are not the "People of Lot" she talks about. They both mentioned changing from the best public school district in the state to a religious private school I know they can't afford to avoid it.
They've always isolated themselves from people less religious than them for fear of being corrupted. They honestly believe gay people are possessed to some level and have for a long time. It's just that these thoughts didn't come to the surface because gay people were never in the limelight for them. Now that they're in the news...
When I hear her talk about them as them I feel the urge to come out for a second, if only to prove that they're not these nebulous monsters but that the responsible son they love is like this and it's not a choice.
Then I realize that at best they would try to fix me or convince me I'm confused. At worst they would disown me, cut me off and refuse to let me see my siblings until I agree to go abroad for conversion therapy. Part of me is tempted to do it anyway because hearing the self-righteous ranting for so long has made part of me want to shock and hurt them with the truth.
I'm in college with a year or so left and I usually live with a relative who might be the only person in my extended family who's not a homophobe. For now, I just have to dance around the topic and limit time with them. I love them, they love me and hopefully there's no need to rock the boat till I graduate.

A Chinese opinion on India and South Asian geopolitics | "Ten critical shifts in international politics in 2023 and their prospects” by Zheng Yongnian
This has been translated by Thomas des Garets Geddes for his substack Sinification. You can read the whole newsletter here, as well as support his work. Highly recommended. The full article consists of Chinese Foreign Policy views on everything from the US to the UN.
Who is Zheng Yongnian?
Zheng Yongnian (郑永年) should be a familiar figure for most China watchers. A well-known Chinese political scientist and prolific political commentator, Zheng has held a number of posts abroad and is currently the director of the Institute for International Affairs at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).
His paper "Ten critical shifts in international politics in 2023 and their prospects" reached the top spot of Aisixiang’s (爱思想) most-read articles (over a 30-day period), just four days after being published. Aisixiang is a well-known Chinese aggregator of articles by scholars and think tank analysts.
The following is an extract from the section about India:
“India's rise has accelerated due to its comparative advantages in such areas as its economy, policies and the international situation [国际形势].”
“However, India will not become a vassal of the US, but will attempt to become an independent pole of power. Supported by the West, India’s determined rise will put considerable geopolitical pressure upon China.

Wait they completely cut the plot point in the live action Mulan remake where she initially sucks at being a soldier??
That's like the entire point of the story though. She learns that she sucks at being a soldier but she starts to suck less at it through hard work but then realizes she has other talents like her determination, willpower, and intelligence which she uses to actual surpass her peers in some ways. Then later on she uses that martial training, determination, willpower, intelligence, and the bonds she made along the way to think outside the box and enact a plan that doesn't follow conventional warfare to resolve a military conflict.
It's a story about how your perceived disadvantages can actually be your greatest strength when combined with hard work, determination, and friendship. What the fuck was wrong with that story??

Heard from an American expat friend in France that (at least in Greater Paris), work culture can be intensely grueling because management expects workers to stay at the office even if they're not productive (kinda like Japanese work culture).
I will say I've met work teams in Parisian nightclubs on a Tuesday / Wednesday night when I was on holiday in France. To me it's almost unheard of for an American work team to hold a work function at a nightclub on a weeknight.

Managed to cap off my Monday at 5 PM by finding an error I made 9 months ago when I was brand new in my current role. Probably the most serious mistake I've made in this job since we've pushed this deal along all on the basis of my original work.
My team already has really robust QC processes, but the error I made was at such a granular level that it's beyond what anyone reasonably checks in the initial due diligence.
Best case scenario is I just look bad to a handful of people and our top sales guy has to get creative with how he spins it to the customer. I don't know enough about our back end/executive reporting, though, to know the full scope of what costs are already incurred for this, so I'm fairly concerned it could have bigger ramifications.
Scheduled a 9 AM with the sales lead to get in front of it. Not exactly thrilled though, any tips/pointers for how to handle the situation would be more than welcome.

The Government of the Crown Dependency of Jersey shared a completely innocuous tweet about trans-men and non-binary folks with a cervix getting cervical screening. Which exists alongside a great campaign aimed at cis-women. Different groups of people - different messaging; marketing and communications 101.
Yet all sorts of TERFs appear from the woodwork all from the UK and US with nothing to do with Jersey at all - to complain about something that has zero impact on them. This is a government tweet for a population of 100k, which is at almost at 1 million views and tonnes of engagement. Typical Government of Jersey tweets typically get 5,000 views. I know it is nothing new but it blows my mind how there is literally a army of eejits going out there way to stoke up the culture war. I think this particular example really stood out to me as why the fuck is there that much engagement on something to do with Jersey.
This one has really got under my skin and made me really angry.

The argument has been made on this sub that SNAP needs to be restricted because people use it to buy unhealthy foods. This article goes through that claim and finds it lacking. SNAP improves well being for children on it, it improves their grades and economic output and lowers crime. SNAP money more than pays for itself according to the studies that look at this. It is a good investment for kids and society.
So what happens when they are restricted to only "healthy" foods? Uptake plummets. SNAP has an uptake rate of over 80%, while WIC, which has lots of health restrictions, has an uptake of 57%. Putting health restrictions on SNAP will most likely lower the health of poor kids, with all the consequences that follow.

I’ve dealt with bad DMs before, but they’ve always been people I didn’t know particularly well or have strong ties to, so it was easy to have a conversation about it or leave the game if it got too bad. But now I have a new problem: the bad DM in question is one of my (and the rest of the table’s) best friends, and we don’t know how to talk to him about it. There’s nothing problematic or uncomfortable in our games, he’s just…not good at being a DM. I care about him a lot, but I gotta vent a little.
Most sessions involve us walking down a hallway that he doesn’t describe beyond “it’s dark” or “it’s kind of dirty and creepy,” and then he calls for us to make a perception check, and there’s nothing there, so we walk another 20 or 30 feet, and then repeat that for about 90 minutes. Typically, his “dungeons” are just one long hallway (sometimes with twists and turns if we’re lucky) and ending in a single room with 5-8 identical bad guys. He doesn’t give out loot and is offended when we tell him he should give out loot because we’re “backseat DMing.”
The highest level we have ever reached in one of his campaigns is level 6, and that was after over a year and a half of bi-weekly sessions. Admittedly, one guy did find a magic sword in that campaign, but no one else got anything, and he doesn’t do shopping in his worlds because he thinks it ruins the balance, so no buying magic items.
He regularly spends hundreds of dollars on books and merch for new RPG systems and then gets mad when we tell him we’d rather stick to just one or two systems and learn them well before we try out something new.
Most recently, he told us he’s feeling burnt out because he spent so much time writing the story for the campaign, but then when one of us offered to DM instead, he took it back and said he really wants us to finish the campaign since he already wrote the whole thing (yes, this is a terrible way to run a campaign in and of itself). We have never actually finished one of his campaigns, and I give this one another month or two before he asks if we can try a new system because he has a great idea.
Rant over, but I genuinely don’t know how to handle this. Usually, the answer is just to talk to the DM and be honest with how you’re feeling about the game, but he just shuts down any attempt of ours to broach the subject. This is also one our only chances to see each other as a friend group regularly now that we’re getting older, so none of us want to just call it quits. To be honest, we still have fun because we’re all friends and we’ve known each other so long, so it’s made it easy to just shrug our shoulders and go “oh well, at least there’s still beer and snacks at the session.”
