Still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

Haven't listened yet - saving it for work tonight. But I'm going to presume it's "All Vibes, no show" and by Vibes I mean doooooom.

Greatly appreciated your video coming to Youtube. It was a fantastic watch, and went on a few paths I was not expecting, most notably regarding Courtney Love. I had not considered the parallels before. As well as pointing out how we far too often strip individuals of their agency.

@benkuchera.bsky.social FYI, today's LazyGameReview "oddware" youtube video on the Novint Falcon uses a screen grab of your Ars Technica article about it from back in 2008. Thought you might find it amusing:

I absolutely know where you're coming from, I've felt the same way may times recently. But we can choose to celebrate the people who felt similarly 250 years ago and decided they needed to take action about it.

Now I'm thinking about media with cyber augmentations and what they try to say about its impact on society.

Star Trek (Are Geordi's eyes cyberpunk? Are the Borg?)
Deus Ex series ( More cyber cops - #AllRobocopsAreBastards )
Detroit: Become Human (more games)
System Shock

I've always considered the "cyber" to just be a greater use of and fusion of technology into everyday life. I don't consider desiring it for an edge to be a necessary aspect.

That was where I was coming from. I would never expect any large group of people to agree on what constitutes "utopia" Even Star Trek eventually introduced the Maquis, though I doubt it could've happened before Roddenberry died.

"oh, but the worst people would be prevented from having such power?" - Ok then, how? What actual checks are in place to keep that from happening. And what if a majority of people want them to exercise that power in such a manner? Tell me that your honor.

You'd think that Trump would have recognized by now the upside of commercial imprisonment over deportation. Plenty of grift to be found there.

Which begs the question: must "-punk" have a dystopia to rebel against? I'd argue no, it can rage against utopia as well, and now I'm looking for such media. I was left wondering if Moira Rose Dawson's mom or something, and the legalities of a high schooler owning a waterway.

OK, I fully get @hightechlowlife.bsky.social's return to CotW as an intermezzo to offset IRL dystopia news - it's certainly been "ruuf stuuf" recently, in the parlance of the audience. And now I'm diving down a rabbit hole to see if "cyber-utopia" media is even a thing. 1/2

OK Hulu, you dropped an entire new season of "The Bear." I'm not sure I can handle that much anxiety right now. Maybe I try an episode a week.

Today a young library patron asked if I would trade comics with her. It was the first time I got this request and immediately whipped up this comic while she was browsing books with her mom.

We should've tacked on an "sh" to help emphasize the fascist portion. Though I'm positive some folks would intentionally try to claim it meant something else, like fashion.

I was just work-shopping this as I was reading the replies and came up with the same conclusion. For American English, antifash certainly is easier to pronounce. Same number of syllables too, but I tend to pronounce it slightly slower to be sure I emphasize the fash part.

So my Cyberpunk Red tabletop players were tasked with blowing up a drug lab. They also helped themselves to $1MM of product. Tune in next week to see if they can shift it without drawing any unwanted attention. "We're not drug dealers. We're pharmaceutical distributors." They've Broken Bad.
