Do you remember Three Miles Island? Dubbed American Chernobyl? Like yeah sure they narrowly avoided a meltdown and the other reactors were operated until 2019.

Anyway.

Microsoft has it restart operations, strictly to power their AI servers. And they got the permit because they trained their fucking AI bot to handle nuclear regulatory paperwork.

We're losing the plot here!

Technician: Sir, I’m getting some odd readings from the main reactor.

Chief engineer: Hm? Oh it’s fine, don’t worry about it. The situation is perfectly normal.

The situation, in question 5 minutes later:

OOPS!!!!

How did I not know this about Jimmy Carter?

Surviving in Japan

To keep being a dreamer living in Japan is as hard as to catch a fly in the air with chopsticks, and yet it’s not all impossible. The chain of events that you have never experienced in your life changes your routine days into chaos. While you can’t quite grasp the sudden change of circumstances, it throws you into confusion in which you continually need to make decisions and actions. You are…

Something's... Off about the Fentons and their son's friends.

They seem to have been the last people to see Vladimir Masters, owner of DalvCo, and know of his whereabouts, yet refuse to reveal him or his location. They also seem to be taking full advantage of his absence, taking over his company and profiting from it and living in his castle in Wisconsin.

They always seem to have some kind of excuse as to why he's not around.

"He's on vacation! Oh, where? Um, Antarctica."

"You just missed him, actually. He was here a few minutes ago. Yeah, in this random dirty alley as I was being mugged. We discussed... Alleys."

"Yeah, he lives here. I know his room is super dusty. He just likes it like that."

Although Tim Drake sees the absence of Vlad Masters as an absolute win (Tucker Foley is much less creepy), he still sees that this requires an investigation. After all, a missing CEO is big news, especially when the last people to have seen him seemed to have had major beef with him. Could they have... Murdered him?

Or: Vlad's taken a nice little trip to ghost prison. The Batfam think Vlad's disappearance was a result of the Fenton family murdering him.

have I ever told you that my mother was at the Three Mile Island partial nuclear meltdown several years before I was born?

So. That could be part of the reason I am the way I am.

And like many monumental moments…it started with a big bang.

I have to get it out. It's been like 9 months since my binge rewatch of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm not going to say that transitioning would've 100% saved Shinji, but it would kill Gendo instantly. Just, the thought of that dense motherfucker being confronted by the fact that his own son, testament to all of his imperfections, would suddenly start to resemble his wife-- which he cannot handle outside of Rei-- would make him tweak into oblivion and I think that's very funny. just. *Enter stage left, Shinji being forced through the doors of Gendo's office by Asuka and maybe Misato* Shinji: Father, I- Asuka: Just say it! Shinji: Father, I'm a girl.. I'd like to start hrt immediately. Gendo:

The absolute hardest part of child raising that no one ever warns you about is that they are at their funniest when they are upset. Which is awful because you CANNOT laugh at them. It will create a world ending event.
