You're about to get owned
When the sky above us fell
We descended into hell
Into kingdom come
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
I want the story behind the dumbass who thought it was a good idea to take the HMS Bounty into this thing.

My move to Illinois now seems prescient.

I thought this was going to be some sort of soppy Good Luck or something like that lol.

"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
The opening to I Am Legend, or hurricane Sandy?

More like, Hurricane Sandy Vagina, amirite?
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Orlando is nice and cool! (For Orlando).

I am sure Japan will borrow you some helpers so that you can fix that in a few days rather than months.
Tomorrow is like an empty canvas that extends endlessly, what should I sketch on it?
US doesn't accept help quickly, IIRC they stalled Dutch help after Katrina and the Gulf spill for quite some time.

Good news: Internet is still largely gawker free.
Bad news: One less coaster in the wild
EDIT:
bonus Gangnam

Bad news: New Jersey still exists.
That's one of my local news stations! I missed that when it happened.

42 pictures from the aftermath. Wonder how many of those taxis are going to end up going south to used car lots

This is simply to perfect
Darren Aronofsky's Noah Delayed Due to Flooding
Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, The Wrestler) has been filming his "Noah" film, based on the Biblical tale of Noah's Ark, at Oyster Bay, NY. To make it as realistic as possible, the director built a massive ark, which measures 450 feet long, 75 feet tall and 45 feet wide. Unfortunately, it was never meant to be sailed.
With production wrapping up within the next few weeks, the ark was forced to deal with flooding as Hurricane Sandy passed through Oyster Bay. Emma Watson, one of the actresses on the film, pointed out the irony of flooding being the cause of problems for the production.
It's not clear how much damage was done to the set, but there's a good chance that some repairs will have to be made. During the delay, Aronofsky wrote that he took the time to catch up on some movies, seeing "Cloud Atlas" and "The Master."
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
Brooklyn Battery Tunnel flooded all the way to the ceiling.
and a flooded subway station

Best footage I've seen so far of the early speed and volume of water
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
That's pretty good.

Good thing they didn't require rescue during the incedent.
Surely some tech geeks mounted waterproof cameras on flotation devices, to follow the water in real time. That'd be cool to see. I've been wondering where the coverage is about homeless folks, and if/how they managed to get them to shelters before the flooding
Well played, sir.
I called it, though.

I just got power back now...
. . .
My sister's family-in-law on Long Island was told to expect power outages until the end of this week. Damn, that's a long time.
Glad you're back on grid, Illusions!
