They are real bussies for not leaning into it.

Well, we did put him in jail, at least.

Yeah, and you can see it in his fiction as well. While in earlier stories characters literally kill themselves or go insane because they are not racially pure, the narrator in “Shadow over Innsmouth” looks forward to his final transformation into a fish person:

I shall plan my cousin’s escape from that Canton madhouse, and together we shall go to marvel-shadowed Innsmouth. We shall swim out to that brooding reef in the sea and dive down through black abysses to Cyclopean and many-columned Y’ha-nthlei, and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory for ever.

M.O.O.N., that’s how you spell moon.

Ah, he’s pissed about the Greenland deal. He’s terribly transparent in his temper tantrums.

Also, Tomb Raider. One of the most well known videogame characters is literally an ass-kicking woman.

The dead internet looms large.

J.D. Vance is only 40.

In 2060, people will curse the people of 2020 who did almost nothing to mitigate climate change.

More of a general thing, but spinach was popularized as healthy food by Popeye.

Not to be nitpicky, but Dreams of Spring would have been the last book, so he still has to finish two novels.

He has already said that he doesn’t want someone else to finish the books. I could also see him as the type of guy who lets his unfinished manuscript be destroyed after his death.

It’s Russia 2.0, with Trump playing the Yeltzin role after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The goal is an autocratic oligarchy.

Ah, but it will funnel said taxpayer’s money into the right cronies’ pockets.

Also lose a lot of liquids.

It’s almost funny when they try to argue “let’s not be hasty about green measures, it could hurt the economy”. It’s already way too late for green transitions but if we don’t do something drastic now, the holy economy will be fucked way way worse in the future than it already is now. Droughts, floods and catastrophic storms are really bad for everybody, but these idiots are too shortsighted and narrowminded to see that. “I wouldn’t affect me, I’m rich” is their motto. Yeah, but if the global economy tanks, your locked-in-shares money will be worthless.

Little personal story: As a kid, I repeatedly rented an animated movie called Warriors of the Wind from my local videostore. It was fairly short and the story was confusing as if there was something missing, but I loved it regardless. One day, the videostore didn’t have it anymore since they got rid of older VHS in favour of newer ones. I was heartbroken and didn’t managed to track it down (this was way before the internet).

Fast forward about 15 years, when I had already watched Princess Mononoke and wanted to watch other movies by that studio. So I watched Nausicaa, and the longer it ran, the more I realized it was that movie from my childhood.

Turns out that a US studio had gotten the rights in the 80s and cut 23 minutes of the run time to make the story simpler, even changing names completely (Nausicaa became princess Sandra for example). This was the version I saw as a kid.

I think he has more of that Goebbels-evil-vampire-look: https://s3.amazonaws.com/icptmsdata/e/i/s/e/eisenstaedt_alfred_280_2002_427003_fullscreen.jpg
