  • As food supply dwindles you’re forced to cook with more and more spoiled ingredients. Leading to sickness and hallucinations on top of the strange supernatural influence. Sleep won’t come any more. Whatever is on the ship makes it impossible to rest. Vision is blurry and hearing is off. Which voices are real, which are the ghosts, which are purely your own? The wind has stopped and the ship hasn’t moved is a week as the waves rock. People who you thought had jumped overboard are back making requests for dishes from their childhood. Spices you don’t remember stocking and couldn’t possibly be on board turn up in unexpected places. This looks like saffron. Does saffron taste like that all the time or is this something else entirely?






  • Thank you for writing that so I don’t have to.

    The end of the petrodollar is complicated. On the one hand it reenforced American hegemony and propped up US financial institutions and instruments. On the otherhand it was quite unfair and sometimes unpopular even among US allies.

    The end of it means US finance will have to work harder to stay competitive and the US has to trade currency on (slightly) more equal footing but it might lower international resentment.
