Before we walked over to the bar to ring in the new year last night, I polished off MASTERS OF ATLANTIS as my last book of 2025. I'd put it on my to-read list after this review ... whew, back in 2020?

Masters of Atlantis Is Essential Reading for the QAnon Age
Charles Portis’ book about a fictional cult has amassed its own devoted following, with Michael Cera, Bill Hader, and The Office’s creator among its fans.

Cartoon meme of a Noah’s Ark–style scene. A bearded man in robes gestures and says “What the hell is this?” toward a tiny blue elephant labeled “Windows 11.” Nearby are a large blue elephant labeled “Windows 10,” a penguin labeled “Linux,” and a pig labeled “Android,” joking about different operating systems as mismatched animals.

Content warning: ICE, racism, police brutality

An extremely simple syllogism, for which the evidence is ample and has been easily available for over a decade:
ICE : white people in Minneapolis ::
regular police : Black people everywhere in America
If you're saying "Abolish ICE" right now (as you should be) but you're hesitant to say "Abolish the police" then you're okay with the brutality as long as it's reinforcing the racial hierarchy, and that's not a good look.
I understand that "Abolish the police" is a scary thing to think about if *your* experience has been that they keep you safe, but recognize how much of that is myth vs reality, e.g. have you ever personally had a positive interaction with police, or do those all happen in stories? Also, even if they do keep you safe, is it worth it if the cost is brutality to the marginalized? (No, it's not.)
At minimum we can see the following behaviors on both sides of the syllogism:
- retaliation for legally "protected" defiance or even just observation
- random killings, with mostly-nonexistent repercussions for the officers involved
- regular widespread harassment & surveillance
-more that I don't have time to list right now. Feel free to reply with your own examples.

I never thought I’d see Waterworld on a list of «best of…» films. I mean, it’s a cheesy, fun movie — but good? Hm; maybe not. theguardian.com/film/2025/nov/

You’re gonna need a bigger boat: the 20 best films set on water – ranked!
As L’Atalante is re-released, we count down the best movies set largely on ships, boats, barges, yachts, steamers and trimarans. Submarines banned, as they’re under water

On Wednesday night, Nvidia released its highly anticipated/dreaded quarterly earnings report
— and Wall Street let out a sigh of relief,
— at least initially.
The multitrillion dollar chipmaker at the center of the AI boom reported
a ludicrous $57 billion in quarterly revenue,
netting it nearly $32 billion in profit.
Compared to the same quarter from the year before,
it amounted to a 62 percent surge in sales,
and a further 65 percent increase …

Oops! Nvidia’s Stock Is Falling Again After Its “Blowout” Earnings Report

Fun fact, your computer doesn't have USB ports (USB is a protocol, not a connector).
Funner fact, even if your computer has USB-C receptacles it might not be using any type of USB as protocol for a specific connection.
Funnest fact, there's at least a dozen different types of cables that use USB-C plugs with various capabilities, sometimes mutually incompatible and often silently falling back to slower protocols.
