I know it is unlikely to happen, but I would really like if Hoederer's or Ines's OpRec would be about Patriot.

We know Hoederer respected him a lot, and I think the feeling was mutual. Patriot was greatly disillusioned by the war and all the tragedies it brought, so perhaps seeing someone who tries to give meaning to the struggles without glorifying the conflict and records small, everyday things rather than heroic tales of famous people would be inspiring to him.

For Ines, there is his relationship with Kazdel and Ursus. What are his feelings about his homeland, why he considers himself a part of foreign culture, how does it feel to call someone of a different race his kin. I don't think Ines would mingle with Reunion people much, but maybe she would like to have a one on one conversation with Patriot at least once.

Also, it would just be nice to have some content for them during their stay with Reunion. People really forget that they have been a part of the movement for almost as long as W.

curious what would characters like needle, Fanny, tennis ball, pillow, yellow face and snowball’s nightmares be like

Thank you for the ask! After some brainstorming I have ideas for all those characters, except Needle because I genuinely don't know what she'd be afraid of

Also, Snowball was already included in my original post

Yellow Face: Losing his warehouse - Yellow Face is, for some reason or another, losing his warehouse. And the only way to ensure that he gets to keep it is to find someone interested in investing in his products. Which means making a lot of ads. The dream would include Winner being put under the spotlight again, against their will, Ice Cube being no help (I really don't think she'd be good at acting, and I also think that she's still salty from Yellow Face stealing her legs) and possible Winner-Clock bonding, depending if this is an alternate TPOT 10 scenario or something that happens after TPOT 10, independent of the contest. The nightmare either gets resolved through The S! finding an investor (boring) or a semi-heartfelt conversation that the team has with Yellow Face where the ensure him that they won't think any less of him without all his products.

Fanny: Her teammates being eliminated - Despite her I-hate-everything attitude, I think TPOT has established that she really does care for her team members , and that she genuinely worries for the team despite everything. The dream starts similar the Black Hole's but when they find Fanny Two suddenly appears, in a state similar to their zombie state, and starts to eliminate her teammates. The dream would be avoiding the host, while having to find of a way to stop Two from eliminating them. Would either be resolved through proving to them that Death PACT again isn't currently up for elimination, which would cause Two to snap out of it and bring back the previously eliminated team members, or killing them. Would include an alternate Fanny-Black Hole reconciliation, focusing more on Fanny this time

Tennis Ball: Not being useful to his team - I believe Tennis Ball has a certain fear of not being good enough for his team, especially compared to Golf Ball. The dream would start with all of Are you okay? appearing near Tennis Ball, who is already very aware of what's going on. That would leave the team and especially Golf Ball confused since nothing obvious would be happening, so they start brainstorming for ideas. And every single one of Tennis Ball's suggestion would very badly backfire, leaving him more and more unsure of himself. It would all come to a head when Golf Ball starts to dismiss his ideas because of that, causing Tennis Ball to hide away. The resolve would happen through a conversation between Golf Ball and Tennis Ball, probably after the rest of the team yelled at Golf Ball for being ignorant. It would also feature Golf Ball character development, because it would force her the really look at how the way she acts affects people, even people who are already close and used to her

Pillow: Nothing - Like, not in a way that she's afraid of nothingness but more because I really believe she's not scared of anything. She understood in TPOT 10, that would she had done caused them to lose, and that death isn't always the way, but I don't think she feels bad about it, or is even really scared of being eliminated. The dream would be similar to Robot Flower's situation, where Pillow would be like "Welp, I guess we'll have to figure it out!" and then starts to terrorize her team because she's in a dream and there are no consequences. Either the others wouldn't be able to get through to her, or someone (probably Book because she deserves it) would yell at her and make it clear that if she doesn't wake up they'll lose the challenge/be stuck in the dream. The actual waking up would happen through Pillow letting one of them kill her like how Pen woke up

The Guaranty Building is a Hollywood Boulevard landmark built in 1923. The ground floor has been under renovation for years now and resembles a gigantic ballroom.

During its prime it housed the headquarters of lunatic columnist Hedda Hopper, the offices of the American Federation of Radio Artists, and the Don Marlowe Agency, which represented Bela Lugosi at the end of his career.

Located at the corner of Hollywood Blvd and Ivar Ave, it is just north of the roughest block directly off the Boulevard.

Most people think that the filthy and chaotic Hollywood Boulevard is a new phenomenon, but drug addicts were already breaking into the Guaranty Building in 1956.

shouldn't there be something we can do on a browser level? (not chrome, obviously, that was their fucking idea,) even if mozilla doesn't do anything themselves, add-ons should be able to help mitigate the damage. I'm thinking along the lines of ad-blockers or those that remove the tracking stuff in links or prevent redirects or even just something as simple as userstyles/greasemonkey. and maybe we should switch to alternatives for zip-archives for now. I can't believe they managed to make one of the ways to check if a site is legit less safe.

New Things to Beware on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.

What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.
