I was listening to Harry McClintock's "Big Rock Candy Mountain" from the O Brother soundtrack. It's a funny description of what hobo heaven would be like. (Rivers of whisky etc) What would a shit-lib heaven be like? I'm thinking of UK libs heaven having means tested genital inspections. Everyone else here is way funnier than I am, what you got?

    Marvel releases a new movie every month. Five-over-ones are the dominant form of housing. Drake has an entire radio station. Faux-rustic cafés and bars line entire streets. Safety regulations force every car to be an electric SUV that could kill a pedestrian simply by nudging them. Patterned carpets, blankets, and cloths are fully phased out, replaced by abstract geometry. All clothes are blindingly bright. Attempted murders are expected to be thwarted by rational discussion in the free marketplace of ideas.
