Years ago (before Epstein, before the GFC, etc) I used to jokingly talk about my pet conspiracy theory, that the world was ruled by the P7: the Pale Patriarchal Plutocratic Protestant Penis-People of Power.

Turns out I was right.

I didn't want to be right …

@cstross A person I know has created a dystopia near future RPG system (unfortunately, only in Polish). I've heard from him more than once something in line: "I've made a fucking RPG, not a dystopian state operation manual".
@agturcz I have just thrown in the towel on my long-running dystopian political satire/Lovecraftian horror series because the way it's tracking things in real life Cthulhu is scheduled to wake up next month.
@cstross @agturcz As things go, I don't think we'll have a horrible end so much as no end of horrors.
