George Carlin’s daughter Kelly Carlin is not laughing at an AI-generated comedy special on YouTUbe consisting entirely of an “impersonation” of her comic-genius father. The specia…
The Bell Riots story line is by far my fave DS9 arc. There’s a really good Terry Pratchett book with roughly the same concept that is also my favorite of his books. It’s called Night Watch.
it’s creepy how specific (and prophetic) the star trek writers were about our future. other than the Eugenics Wars not happening in the 90s, they’ve been pretty spot-on. let’s just hope that they’re right about April 5, 2063.
Do you think we’re headed towards a future like the Matrix or more like the Terminator?
This scenario wasn’t in either movie. This is more like something out of Time Gate.
Does that one have a happy ending?
I didn’t know. I never finished it. I’m kinda curious now, though.
We’ll be lucky to have any kind of future
Idiocracy has my vote.
The Road.
I’m still holding out for Weird Science.
hoping for star trek future-- although that means the next 40-50 years will be pretty terrible.
Bell Riots are coming this year. The Second American Civil War starts in 2026, which leads directly into WWIII.
From there, everything is pretty much terrible until warp drive is invented.

Well, it would be nice to think there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
How many lights do you see?
Three. I hope that isn’t a train.
edit: I think it is a train.
🖖 <-- that light
Dune. There will be a butlerian jihad against thinking machines.
But at least we get drugs that let us see the future
I must not fear… good advice for the future.
Welp, there goes autocomplete on my phone.
Idiocracy.
