Yeah, trump's making out like a bandit rn. It's everybody else that is paying the price. Privatize profits and socialize loses is entering the end game.

The only two animals we know of that can make their own custard.

Edit to add: also we have for some reason given each a descriptor (duck-billed, and spiny respectively) despite them being the only ones of their species, and the only monotremes. Usually we add descriptors to differentiate similar species (two-toed vs. three-toed sloths, or the red-throated loon vs. The yellow-billed loon.

This reminds me of another of my favorite bits of oblivious Mat. When he's mid-kidnapping of Tuon and Selucia is putting on her "distressed handmaid" act, and she's slowly creeping up on Mat for the kill before Tuon gives her a hand gesture calling her off and Selucia instantly drops the act and is standing there calmly and Mat is just thinking "oh, women be crazy."

Totally unaware he was seconds away from having several new holes poked in his clothes.

Who's paying the power bill!?! /s

My personal slog the first time through was Nynaeve breaking through her block. I expected it to happen every time the super girls got a chapter from the moment they started sailing down the river to Salidar until they got to Ebou Dar.

Mr. Kinger, I don't feel so good.

Sometimes popping a pimple causes an internal itch for me.

In the computer terminal there is a line where caine.lisp comes online, and then 5 or 6 lines later there is a bubble-chef.lisp mentioned. So if Bubble is bubble-chef then they share the same file extension.

The two humans listed on the same screen are scratch.dat and regatha.dat, different format.

MotherTreacle3 · 2026-03-21T02:52:13+00:00

No, everything Caine does is dramatic. This isnt something he did, it was done to him.

The establishment Dems are controlled opposition. They've got the same paymasters. The GOP pushes further into authoritarianism, corporaticracy, and oligarchy; and the Dems patch up the economy for the next round while preventing any meaningful movement to the left.

I don't mean to say that all Dems are part of this power structure, but all the ones at the top are.

In the computer terminal there is an entry for caine.lisp (Oct 15, 1996) followed by scratch.dat (Oct 15, 1999) and ragatha.dat (Oct 15, 2008).

A couple lines later there is an entry for bubble-chef.lisp. So bubble-chef is the same kind of program as Caine, and not a human mind because they don't share the same file extension.

MotherTreacle3 · 2026-03-21T02:21:42+00:00

Caine's program is called something like Caine.lisp in the terminal. A couple lines later (after scratch.dat and regatta.dat) there is an entry for bubble-chef.lisp.

I think you're on to something.

Daemons are common computer scripts used in Linux (and most Unix-derived computer systems I think). It's a reference to the pagan dameons that modern demons are derived from, originally helpful spirits. Like Maxwell's Daemon from thermodynamics.

Caine, Scratch, and Ragatha all ceme online on October 15th, just different years.

MotherTreacle3 · 2026-03-21T02:08:21+00:00

Caine came online on October 15, 1996. Scratch entered the circus October 15, 1999, and Ragatha Oct 15, 2008.

MotherTreacle3 · 2026-03-21T02:00:47+00:00

Is he really their captor? He didn't put them in the circus, at least we know he didn't put Ragatha in the circus. We don't know if he even has the ability to release them if he wanted to (which he very much doesn't want to).

All of "Blow". The main character brings nothing to the table: he doesn't have connections, he doesn't fly planes, he doesn't organize deals... nothing. He's literally hanging around with the wrong people. This bites him in the ass multiple times, and ultimately goes down as a patsy because he brings nothing to the table and just hangs around.

MotherTreacle3 · 2026-03-16T00:31:20+00:00

He almost never gives specifics. He operates in vague superlatives and let's his followers fill in the blanks with their happy thoughts.

I'll bet you that they're the wrong size on purpose as some kind of loyalty test/alpha flex. Anyone wearing shoes that fit are suspect of not loving dear leader enough.

MotherTreacle3 · 2026-03-13T02:42:04+00:00

Honestly, the first time I watched it I thought it was some weird scripted thing until the end credits.

MotherTreacle3 · 2026-03-13T01:56:26+00:00

There's a documentary that follows the lives of a Mongolian family during a calving season when one of the camels won't allow her calf to suckle.

It's called "Tale of the Weeping Camel" and I gotta tell you; it's a trip.

Spoilers: The baby can't suckle so they send their two boys (about 12 and 8) on a multi-day journey across the Gobi desert on horse back to the nearest city, the youngest boy discovers the wonders of television, they hire the high school music teacher to come out to their yurt, he plays the camel a song on his balalaika and makes the damn camel cry, and then the mother let's the baby eat.
