Current mood: WHY CAN'T WE BE INVADED AND CLEANLY EXTERMINATED BY THE DALEKS? WILL THIS TORMENT NEVER CEASE??
Als Antwort auf Charlie Stross

I bet the Daleks at least know how to run a government, I'm not actually opposed anymore.

@skry @katre Tht's on youtube. I do not watch stuff on youtube—the advertising is too offensively in-your-face. What's it about?
Als Antwort auf Charlie Stross

@katre Understood. It's just a trailer, but they might have found a way to shove an ad in.

It's a documentary.

"34 senior members of the U.S. Government, military, and intelligence community– revealing a cover-up of the existence of non-human intelligent life and a secret war to reverse engineer technology of non-human origin."

@skry @katre Just checking you know about uBlock Origin? It's a well regarded browser extension that does an amazing job of blocking not just visible ads (including YouTube inserts) but also invisible trackers. It's free: ublockorigin.com/

@mike @skry @katre (eye-roll) I've been using uBlock origin for many, many years. (Be less hasty about mansplaining the internet, m'kay?)

@mike @skry @katre Doesn't it strike you as a good rule of thumb that someone whose bibliography *in the 1990s* includes a book titled "The Web Architect's Handbook" might already know this shit?
Als Antwort auf Charlie Stross

Righty ho. I'll stop trying to help make people's lives better until I've memorized their bibliographies.

They already made this book: Three-Body Problem.

I don't know how the series ends (because I did not like the second book in the series), but maybe everyone's friends in the end?

there's an Alien Invaders Party in Germany: aipd-partei.de/ #bt_wahl_2025

I suspect they want nothing to do with us. They’re disgusted, basically, at what we’re doing to the planet.
Als Antwort auf JackTLadd

@JackTLadd It's close to the end of President-for-Life Trump's fourth term. Close enough.
Als Antwort auf Charlie Stross

@JackTLadd The way I understand it, it currently has about a 2.3% chance to hit earth, and the number is slightly rising with subsequent observations.

I strongly believe that, if we pool our resources to send a mission there, if we act decisively and collectively, together, for the good of all, we should be able to *significantly* increase that number.

Als Antwort auf Henryk Plötz

@henryk @JackTLadd I think, for the greater good, we should send Elon Musk there to deflect it from Earth impact in person. He can stay on afterwards to monitor it indefinitely.

Once the US federal government has been exterminated, DOGE will be sending out emails with the deferred extermination offer to the rest of the planet.
Als Antwort auf Charlie Stross

Except for the fact that the Daleks are pretty much explicitly Space Nazis
Als Antwort auf Jess👾

@JessTheUnstill

Looks at Dalek, sees "space nazi".

Looks at Dilbert Stark, sees "nazi with a space program".

Blinks.

All we need is for Elon to have his brain transplanted into a CyberTruck with a gun turret and we're there, right?
