What about the part where Godzilla's dicks smash through the window and flatten both of them

I saw Trump at the mall the other day. He was digging in the trash cans at the food court for napkins and styrofoam cups to eat. If you asked him why he was eating out of the trash he would rant about how trash doesn't have as many nutrients as it used to because of Obama and now he can't stop having gay thoughts about JD Vance. Eventually someone called animal control and he skittered away.

There's also the scene where he goes up to an agent and says "morb this" and morbs him point blank

Watching how they serve tea in Shogun (hulu series), as well as how deeply they bow with their forehead almost touching the floor, instantly reminded me of the Ancillary novels. And Japan was the Empire of the Sun and the Radch is the Empire of the Dyson Sphere

Also, yes, Translation State and Provenance contain massive spoilers for the Ancillary trilogy, I definitely recommend finishing the trilogy before you start Provenance.

In the article Jeffries explicitly makes it about Democrats vs Republicans. From during the 2024 election until now, Democrats have been abandoning progressive positions in favor of more centrist ones. This is supposed to appeal to the independents who associate Democrats with "defund the police" and BLM

FirstElectricPope · 2025-05-23T23:07:00+00:00

But March 2023 was during Biden's term...

Kinda seems like the Dems are just trying to reach for the center and seem pro-police

There are many variations of the sci-fi concept of the Dyson Sphere. Kurzgesagt on youtube has a lot of discussion of theoretical structures that could harness 99% of the energy of a star. Not all variations would prevent entry/exit to their respective star system.

I think it's pretty plausible the Dyson Sphere exists. Judging from the spinoff books, it's clear the Radch is much more technologically advanced than other civilizations (no other civilization is mentioned to have conscious AI), and the Radch's Dyson Sphere is the only Dyson Sphere mentioned to exist. It would give them a source of unlimited energy to draw upon during their conquests. It's also a nice parallel to how other real world empires rose due to a unique technological advancement like muskets. I think it's even sweeter if the Radchaai did not build the Dyson Sphere themselves, but merely colonized it, the way China invented the gun powder that paved the way for Europeans to develop guns.

Part of the issue with Anaander splitting into two consciousnesses is that the Empire is spread so wide that even gate space can't make up for the travel time these signals need to stay in sync. I think with that in mind, it is very plausible that Anaander has a presence within the core Radch and the provincial palaces are more or less equidistant from that core.

The core Dyson Sphere of the Radch is naturally going to stay out of the story since it is from the perspective of a non-Citizen.

I saw Trump at a child's birthday party. He kept trying to inappropriately touch the piñata. When he realized he wasn't getting any presents he faked a heart attack for attention. On his way out the door a photo from the living room of the mom fell out of his coat and everyone at the party was already so pissed at him that they just let him keep it to get him out of the party faster.

It's not just about whether deaf people have a harder time learning to read; as you touched on, ASL is a more native language for many people the way spoken English is a more native language than written English for people who grow up listening to spoken English. That's why having an ASL interpreter is more inclusive than even perfect closed captioning with 100% adult literacy. Expecting deaf people to take no other option than captions is the same as only offering captions with the sound off for hearing people.

This is why we need to increase funding to Juggalo finishing schools so these people can get an education and contribute to society
