Oh hey, sounds like they're cribbing notes from the US in regards to one of the major things to do to minority communities (pave over as much as you can and split them up with highways). Even odds that has little to nothing to actually do with improving access for cars and everything to do with fucking over minorities. Gods know that was the primary motivation over here

Dream brain just decided to wake me up from nap by presenting within the dream, the "Infinitely Complex Hyperzebra". As might be deduced from the name, it's a self-propagating/expanding >3d (initially) hypercube shaped zebra. My head kinda' hurts just trying to remember what it looks like, but it shortly ended up sorta' like a ball of yarn made of zebra parts.

Relevant observers on the time of the appearance of the hyperzebra reacted with shock, then abject terror, as its impossible evershifting form became steadily more complex and began to grow -- the implication immediately obvious to all in the dreamspace was that this impossible thing was the end of all things, as it would eventually expand in complexity until all realities could no longer maintain existence under its metaphysical and literal weight.

... anyway, it came to be because someone had a sort of low-level magic transforming tool thing. The original owner was just using to do simple stuff like rope, but then they gave it to someone else and things took a turn for impossible geometries. Pray we never actually manage to observe the terrible majesty of the infinitely complex hyperzebra.

It... could be? Didn't look like it, though, it wobbled all over the street and for more than just one or two miles. Also wasn't a large strip... looked like maybe as wide as a dollar bill, something like that. If I had to guess, it'd be that something or another dragged along the pavement for a long ways, or something along those lines.

... but it could be intentional, sure. Whoever decided to do it should be beat about the head and shoulders with a bundle of sticks, because the sound it's causing is pretty bloody horrible.

I mean, I've ate stuff like that before, too, yeah. Monocheese is boring as hell, though, if you're making the god sandwich of cheese mountain you gotta' have a bunch of different kinds of cheese in there. Different preps, too, get shredded cheese in there, those little cheese cubes, drizzle cheese sauce over it, etc. The attempt is appreciated but the execution, disappointing.

And hey, at least one periodical has some integrity.
Sorta restores my faith in the Free Media.

... I mean, that's AP? They're basically the major news source most other reporting venues in the US crib their notes from. It's not "one periodical", it's more or less the primary journalism organization in the US. They've got their issues, but they're not exactly a small name.

As I say, the UK regulator has already said no. If that isn’t overturned or reviewed, the merger can’t happen.

Is it actually a "can't happen" or more a "well, they can't operate in the UK" thing? Because I could see them going "lol, who gives a damn about the UK market" at this point, heh. If you got the US and EU markets you can probably pretty safely tell the UK to get stuffed.

... anyway, if it does go through I don't expect it to make either of them worse, and might even make actiblizz somewhat less terrible to its workforce, but I wouldn't have high expectations. "Not worse" does not necessarily entail "better", ha.

Starting to wonder if this cat has issues with object permanence or something. Like, earlier was more understandable, but she's nearly a year old and still basically incapable of recognizing the dog after a grooming trip, despite having experienced the process several times at this point.

On one hand it's kinda' funny to see her bow up and be terrified of something she was trying to play with a few hours earlier, but on the other hand this period where I have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't try to kill each other when the dog acts normally and the cat has no idea what the hell this thing is that's getting close to her and attacks is getting kinda' annoying.

Dunno if it's the reduced hair, bath, or smell of other dogs/cats at the groomer or what, but the cat is just... completely incapable of recognizing the dog after he's been shaved down.
