Absolute masterclass in using absurdist satire to highlight autoritarian creep. The way you flip every political ideology to show they all converge on the same dystopia under government control is genuinely clever. I've been in conversations where people defend intrusive policiy just because it superficially aligns with their team's rhetoric, and this nails how that logic falls apart once the boots actually on the ground. The ColonLock bit reads like a parody but honestly not that far from some of the surveillance tech being pitched today.

A buttocratic nightmare. Damn. Lots to unpack in this story, and an effective way to use fiction. Not just for shits and giggles.

Ok wow that’s a read. I was thinking about (consensual) gay sex with robots in a government-run recreational facility for part of it.

Honestly the first song on the album fits the vibe of what you’re writing, but in the context of 80s music censorship.

Just ran over from a 10 minutes old Gotham chess video. It seems like all my favourite creators are dropping right now 😭

if I'm honest, "dropping" is dangerous in the context of this text!
