A quotation from Bierce

PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
“Patriotism,” The Devil’s Dictionary (1911)

Bis sich die #USA von dieser zweiten (dystopischen) Amtszeit von #Trump erholt haben, werden Jahrzehnte vergehen.

Und #ElonMusk ist meines Erachtens der Bösewicht, wie er in Marvel-Filmen oder Bond-Krimis vorkommt.

Und seit bekannt ist, dass #AI-ChatBots Menschen bewusst betrügen können (https://www.nzz.ch/technologie/studie-kuenstliche-intelligenz-kann-luegen-und-betruegen-ld.1830043) und #Oracle alle AI-Tools zusammenführen will (https://m.slashdot.org/story/438703), ist die Vorstellung eines „#Skynet-Zeitalters“ nicht mehr weit.

Jordan's least fav appearance of #Ursa in #PopCulture was this creature from the movie After Earth...

A quotation from Moliere:

«
ALCESTE: His social polish can’t conceal his nature;
One sees at once that he’s a treacherous creature;
No one could possibly be taken in
By those soft speeches and that sugary grin.
The whole world knows the shady means by which

Anybody need a Dark Lord? Maybe a grim bodyguard? Overly imposing random baddie? The Marrow Commander has you covered.
