A Perfect Disaster

Finished latest episode and yeah yeah yeah great battle so much intrigue and excitement but more important than that I need King Gus to kiss Murray’s hand next episode at the very LEAST. He was poisoned, his Druid was under Dominate and his Hounds were down and frothing at the mouth. And then he finds a potion out of nowhere, his weapons that were taken away kicked back to him, he felt her invisible hand touch his chest to shield him from attacks. And then the moment he discovers this glamorous dwarf women dressed to the nines was the invisible force helping him is when she’s fucking stabbing. And the hottest thing? Flanking. Unless it turns out he’s not single I simply cannot see a future where King Gus doesn’t want to get Murray’s number.

I can't believe we live in a world where there's an AI company unironically called "Palantir," and it isn't a parody. It's a real thing. I remember seeing a picture of an advertisement on here and thinking, "This HAS to be a joke. This is too on-the-nose to be real. They wouldn't honestly name an AI company Palantir, after the Seeing Stones from Lord of the Rings that are supposed to offer knowledge, but famously also might be feeding you misinformation from evil sources because 'we do not know who else may be watching.'" But then here I am listening to the BBC News discussing why the CEO of Palantir just published a Manifesto that sounds like it was written by a supervillain.

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

I can’t believe the Pope is internationally geopolitically relevant again in 2026, by publicly feuding with a mad would-be king over a war in the Middle East. What the fuck year is it, 1202?
