At times, I've wondered how much of this is functional, and how much is used to impress venture capitalists who are considering investing in the company.

Nothing impresses ignorant billionaires more than a tricked-out, gold-plated Bond villain computer lair.

why did no one tell me quantum computers looked like that

feels so good being the person in charge of deciding whether our organization will use AI or not. I'm going to write an argument so strong... no we will not waste an ounce of our time and energy on what's essentially a bubble the IT industry Really wants to try forcing on people and is betting on/wanting so badly for it to take off. The real gut punch is at some point I'm going to compare it to NFTs lol

Honest to god fuck Apple, fuck the government officials who created FOSTA/SESTA over 5 years ago, fuck every single person who bought this site off the original creators and proceeded to spend the rest of the previous decade making all the wrong decisions, but more importantly, fuck Matt Mullenweg and Automattic.

Man deadass took a site that was, once upon a time back in the 2010s the best, most welcoming, most educational, social blogging site on the internet, and turned it into a fucking data mine for techbros to plunder, all while driving off queer users and staff.

It is depressing seeing the place I grew up on turn out this way.

Rough concept for Curie the Nuclear Flask (genderblind since the unit refers to both Pierre AND Marie Curie), nonspecifically based on mostly British models since they’re the most photographed/documented.

Kind of my pipe dream Dustin/Hydra figure, though it would NEVER fly in Germany because that’s such an anti-nuclear country. Curie is shy and fat, like Dustin (in reference to the nuclear industry using silence as their main PR tactic and nuclear flasks being physically heavy and sometimes downright enormous). They’re also suspicious but secretly benevolent and the real hero of net zero like Hydra. I made the character for my extended protag Electra AU/rewrite but you could kind of fit them in canon as a Rusty ally since nuclear plants technically ARE steam powered (just get rid of the damn anti-nuclear Light At the End of the Tunnel line if it isn’t gone already)

Curie is kind of a sardonic nerd, comparable to Tom Lehrer (though could also be played more as a mad scientist or quirky Miss Frizzle type). Despite showing constant experimental evidence that they’re damn near indestructible (nuclear flasks have been publicly crash tested to spectacular results, most notable in 1984 when a locomotive was rammed into one at 100 mph and got obliterated but the cargo was unscathed) everyone treats them like a terrifying hazard and they’re largely ostracized.

As a nod to Dustin almost singing it in the New Starlight revisions, Curie would probably sing There’s Me because “I may not be the one you want to see” and the message of always being there is just so fitting to nuclear power being a very reliable energy source vs other non-fossil ones. They’d play a basically identical role to Dustin in the final race where the protag finally is willing to trust and team up with them and their size is an advantage in a downhill race (they’d also be GREAT for defending against Greaseball and other physical hazards and him trying to hit them and Curie not selling it while he falls backwards howling would he hilarious)
