This is the first time in my life I TRULY FEEL like we live in a dystopian 80s satire. Like at any moment my wife will say "Did you hear about the horrible thing the President did today?" and I'll just respond. "Yeah. Man, I'm glad we don't live in Detroit. Too many Robocops."

Imagine how it is for me living in this same world and then I go to my job and my job is “time to take a customer service complaint about this Guest’s experience today with Megatron”

I always wanted to be cyborg robot, but knowing my luck, I’d end up in an ED209 🤣😜

I watched robocop for the first time recently and it just made me angry because it just looked too much like the real world. Or at least it felt too much like how many people in America unironially SEE the world.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to write for an RPG that's a cyberpunk dystopia these days? You have NO idea how many times I've come up with an evil megacorporate plot that is so evil it could only be fiction for Facebook/Google/Amazon/OpenAI to do the exact same thing only 10 times worse.

I feel it. I'm in the middle of a series of interviews for a job that'll nearly DOUBLE my annual salary and I'm like, I sure hope we don't have a nuclear war. Kinda takes the shine off.

25 year old me would be like, NAH BRUH!

I rewatched Robocop, Robocop 2, and the Robocop remake in the last few months.

All were way ahead of their time and more terrifying now then when they were released. Robocop 2 opens with the city of Detroit being privatized. The Robocop remake opens with American military robots attacking Tehran.

We were talking in my sci-fi class today about how twentieth-century writers' predictions about the 2020s were universally grim and also universally not grim enough.
