I believe this means the sun will set over the entirety of the British Empire tonight for the first time in several hundred years. Chagos is the dot below India on this map. Sunset in the Pitcairns (dot in the Pacific) will happen ~40 minutes before sunrise in Akrotiri and Dhekelia (dot on Cyprus).

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

Go to any Internet forum and witness hordes of people asking for purchasing advice between different competing products, insisting on personalized recommendations specific to their situation… when that's literally what salespeople are trained to do for you. Give them the opportunity to help you!

Public transit vehicles should emit some kind of broadcast-only signal (BLE beacon?) that can alert passengers' smartphones at each stop with name of the stop.

that trump has real electoral juice does not make him some kind of master strategist. he was actively bad at being president the last time around and shows every indication of being even worse at it now

Drake just signed a legal document acknowledging "Not Like Us" did him great harm. Is this not the biggest defeat in hip-hop history?
