In the German state of Bavaria, dozens of people are in 'preventive detention' because they might otherwise engage in climate protests, specifically around the car industry exposition IAA in Munich. Apparently possible for a month there... https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/zeitgeschehen/2023-09/letzte-generation-bayern-praeventivhaft-gewahrsam

    Odd, but alright then. Maybe it makes more sense the the “emoji” renders properly.

    Have you read the story? If not, do it. It’s pretty great and only around 40 min long.

    Harlan Ellison made an audiobook version I listened to, while also reading it at the same time: https://youtu.be/dgo-As552hY

    You can also borrow the book for free here: https://archive.org/details/ihavenomouthimus0000harl

    Or just get it for free in many other places.

    Edit: oh and what is stormfront? Edit 2: the “I have no mouth…” game is also pretty great and was given away for free on GOG a while back so you might already have it, if you keep track of those things. That game is inspired by the book but it is mainly it’s own story.

      I read it years ago. The computer game version had AM voiced by the author himself.

      That’s just a little jab at Reddit itself for its cryptofascist leanings. The emoji that Hexbear marks as “Reddit” uses the text of Reddit’s old Stormfront community, which was itself a nazi hangout until it was mod-raided to become a weather forecast community, but the name’s meaning persisted.
