<div dir="ltr">Speaking of the book Snow Crash, it appeared in the
hover-over on XKCD the other day, <a
href="https://xkcd.com/2832/" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://xkcd.com/2832/</a> . I
just finished reading it when I saw the XKCD cartoon. I haven't
decided whether it is a coincidence or a glitch in the matrix.
Now that you brought it up, I am sure that it must be a glitch
in the matrix. Maybe the emergency alert drill coincidence is
related to that glitch too. <br>

<p>I'm hoping it is more like the brief scene in Dogma where the
Stygian Triplets on roller blades use a hockey stick to rip a tear
in reality. ( I can find absolutely no reference to the scene in
the movie as I remember it... so it is probably one of MY
hallucinations).... <br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for the hint about finding (easter egg?)
tooltip/hover-overs in XKCDs... I think I'd tripped over them
before but didn't twig to their being "a thing"... Kewl!</p>
<p>Car bodies are getting to be more and more likely Aluminum or
(bio)Plastic, so a magnapoon would be a less-than-optimal method,
though much simpler than a suction-cup mechanism. Maybe getting
"magnapooned" would just be part of the "tax" on having an
older/larger/inefficient vehicle (think lifted Diesel quad-cab 4x4
cowboy cadillac)... <br>

<p>Is it a coincidence that the US Emergency Alert System
(primarily cell phones) was tested today, coincident with
the Russian nationwide *nuclear* alert system test today?</p>

<p>I was surprised when the US system was first
deployed/tested under Trump and *he* didn't turn it into
his personal "Twitter" service. <br>
</p>
<p>I half expected to get an alert every time he was unhappy
with some "deep state" or legislative or judicial
confrontation to his will.</p>
<p>Now<i> Dark Brandon</i> is using it to trigger COVID
vaccine installed Manchurian Candidate nanotech? <br>
</p>
<p>Or maybe a Snow Crash just happened in the House of
Representatives today/yesterday?<br>
