  • I'm very torn. On one hand, this model of forgiveness is truly saint-like. I remember having an intense conversation about Puyi (China's last emperor, and subsequently a Japanese puppet ruler) and how the people ultimately forgave him. I might try to dig it up later.

    On the other hand, the precious garden that is Earth is being deconstructed down to its component chemicals in order to make a handful of people extremely rich along the way. There is no word that can properly encapsulate the crime being perpetrated against all present and future life. Ecocide? Omnicide? It will make the horrors of the previous century into a mere prologue for what is to come. Everyone who is aiding and abetting this cosmic crime deserves the most savage punishments that the human mind can dream up, and it still wouldn't atone for a fraction of the misery they're working so diligently to create. And as much as I'd like to appeal to my own better nature, I simply can't convince myself otherwise.

    This stumped me at first. Its plant-based exports gave no real clues, and its small petroleum output threw me off a bit. But manufacturing this amount of medical material and at this high dollar value called for a pretty sophisticated economy, so I guessed Switzerland at first. Belgium and the Netherlands just didn't feel right, and I know the UK has a greater petroleum export profile. That left the good old Emerald Isle.





  • After NASA canceled the shuttle program, the Russians and their Soyuz were the only means of manned travel to and from the station for years. I don't know how the Ukraine war has impacted that working relationship, or to what degree it pushed NASA to contract work out to these shitty fucking companies. But if it comes down to it, I'm sure something will be arranged for American astronauts to come home via Baikonur as they've done so many times before.
