Jet Alone (ジェット・アローン) is a bipedal robot developed by Japan Heavy Chemical Industries, designed to replace the Evangelions. Unlike the Evangelions, which have a limited internal power supply and must rely on external power cables for extended operation, Jet Alone has an internal nuclear reactor (likely a pressurized water reactor) and can function for at least 150 consecutive days. Jet Alone requires no pilot, and is controlled by an onboard computer. Radio commands can be issued from a ground station. Being a robot and not a living being, Jet Alone cannot generate an A.T. Field. Shiro Tokita pushes aside the issue, describing the creation of an (artificial) A.T. Field as "only a matter of time."

Yeah, it's all tribal for them. Freedoms are to be defended if and only if it's good of the political tribe, over and against the rival political tribe. Adherence to the valued principles of yesteryear is all just for optics.

Nowadays, freedom of speech is a funny meme about how nobody should be able to hear you yell "fire" at a crowded gay bakery. Let it all burn down.

I haven't played MTG in ages, and decided to check out their website to see what the new cards are like. Aoparently there's a new mechanic "More than meets the eye" letting you cast Optimus Prime for one less mana...? Apparently it's just, part of the Brothers' War set now. It's like those fortnite ads I see for Naruto or Goku being in the game now. Games just aren't allowed to have their own aesthetic anymore because crossover deals are apparently too profitable. Totally felt off.

Advertisements in general are just crummy. These are people who sell our privacy and attention to greedy suits who hire marketing departments to create a generic product-centric universe with a soundscape of corporate elevator music from hell. They don't care about our "safety", they only really want the minimal amount of our trust required to not lose enough sales to go under. The idea that they or their self-reported ESG score stand for anything is laughable.

I can't unsee Dark Ages' inevitability as that of people, in aggregate, suffering some combination of poor social relationships and exploitative societal relationships during difficult times, and then succumbing to laziness out of indifference as a response.
