Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.

Marcille: "Uhhh . . . I'm so hungry . . ."
Laios: "We should have waited until we were at the end of this maze to kill and eat the minotaur. Senshi, what do we have left?"
Senshi: "We're good on water due to that aquifer leaking into the maze, but otherwise all we have left is my spices and this unopened bottle of benadryl."
Laios: "Hmm . . ."
Marcille: "Laois, look at me. Benadryl isn't food."
Laios: "I know that, but what if we were to kill and eat the Hat Man?"
Chilchuck: "WHAT?"
Senshi: "What's the Hat Man?"
Marcille: *sighs* "It's a shared hallucination, generally induced by certain kinds of drug intake. Some mages have tried to study if it's real but were unable to prove that it stayed tangible or present after they sobered up."
Senshi: "So that benadryl would lure the Hat Man to us, and give us a chance to fight it? That will be tough. Sounds like we will have to kill, cook and eat it all before the medicine wears off if it will lose tangibility otherwise."
Laois: "That's it! If we need only one or two of us to kill the Hat Man, then the rest can be dosed up only right before the meal is done cooking."
Senshi: "There's one problem with that. Dwarves are basically immune to any tallmen drug that isn't prescription strength. I'll need half the bottle just to have enough time to eat the meal. Chilchuck, you'll be able to use it the most efficiently because of how little you weigh. I can make sure that the fire is ready, but you'll have to fight the Hat Man alone and dose Marcille afterwards to help you with the cooking prep. Laios and I shouldn't risk taking more than needed just to eat."
Chilchuck: "ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE HAT MAN IS REAL! And I don't do the fighting in this group! There's NO WAY that-"
Narrator: And so with their plan formulated, Chilchuck took a heavy dose of benadryl and prepared to fight the Hat Man in single combat.

This is a real piece of art from actual 1980 but it somehow looks Very A I to me.
Isaac Asimov, illustrated by Rowena Morrill for the cover of Opus 200, 1980.

Regarding cats: I comfort myself with the fundamental unknowability of an interior consciousness so unlike my own (I'm reminded of Wittgenstein's lion) being juxtaposed with how clearly these unknowable beasts like me

'What is Time, O sister of similar features, that you speak of it so subserviently? Are we to be the slaves of the sun, that second-hand, overrated knob of gilt, or of his sister, that fatuous circle of silver paper?'

You were born 46 years ago, birthed from factories built by the smartest people in what they considered to be "the Free World". Your mission is to explore, to push forth into the void that surrounds the small fragile blue orb where you were created. Your other mission, perhaps, you are less proud of: to prove Capitalism stronger than Communism.
(You would have been happy to execute your sibling's mission: to bear the Golden Record, proof of human ingenuity, to announce to the universe that We Are Here, that humans exist and experience the world around them. But you are further from Earth. And you are a machine, so perhaps you have no pride of your own.)
For decades you have traversed space, more distant by far than any other thing produced by human hands.
You are nearly a half century old, and programmers on Earth still write code for you. They still send you updates. Back on Earth you would be considered obsolete, but out here, your age is part of what makes you so valuable: you have journeyed further. Updates reach you at the speed of light, and even at that speed they take twenty-two hours to reach you. And of course that time only increases as you continue. You were the first item born of human ingenuity to reach interstellar space.
In three hundred more years - according to current human calculations - you will reach the Oort Cloud.
Human hands made you. Human hands shaped you. You are a shout, a statement, a greeting. You are humanity's senses, further by far than any eye or ear. You are a projection of humanity against void, against history's dust, against vastness and distance and separation. You will continue to exist long after humanity's changes, whatever they may be. Perhaps they will remember you. You will always remember them.

I feel like I see people talking about climate migration as a future problem. I suspect that it will be a major issue in the future, sure - but it's also a huge issue now.
You know how the US is kinda crappy to people trying to immigrate, especially at the Southern border? A big part of that is that the "correct" way for people to seek citizenship was drawn up for the problems of the mid-20th-century - specifically in the immediate aftermath of the holocaust.
But a big cornerstone of that system is that refugees need to be fleeing something - to have "credible fear" for their life back home. But that "credible fear" is about persecution by their government, and does not include concerns about the climate.
And to be clear, when I say "concerns about the climate" I don't mean "it's warm now and I prefer it cooler". "Concerns about the climate" manifest as economic instability, as unreliable access to clean water, as near-constant brownouts.
So the awful and immoral stuff going on at the Southern border of the US? That is climate migration. It's already happening.
Further, fear of immigrants is a classic way of whipping up right-wing nationalistic fervor. All that handwringing about why right-wing parties are so much bigger now than they were ten or twenty years ago? It's not just increases in immigration, but that's a non-negligible part. (And to be clear, this isn't just a US problem! Plenty of other countries have bad immigration policies.)

In the spirit of Dungeon Meshi I think that Muppets could be considered a type of monster in the dungeon and that Laios would absolutely try to eat felt stuffing and fabric. And it would taste horrible UNTIL they cut inside it deep enough past the felt to reach the puppeteer meat which I feel should look enough like a human hand to fuck with them but enough like a monster that they're like sure. why not.
