-The [tinfoil hat][1] seems more reasonable every single day.
+Someone made a [MGS2 codec parody][1] that's... actually on point. I like to think this is what Kojima would have written himself in the current climate. The tinfoil hat seems more reasonable every single day.

Also, [life imitates art][2]:

```
+Tangentially related, I'm trying to get into the habit of archiving every bit of online media that I like, because there are 2 things I've learned in the past year:
+
+## You can't just assume that on Someone Else (tm) has archived something you like anymore.
+
+It's never been a sound strategy, but I feel that pieces of media get lost more easily these last few years. Cases in point: the infamous [hot-sauce-on-cơm-tấm ad][3], and the original [AI-generated propaganda music video][4] both got deleted promptly (heh) after the online backlash, and to this day I haven't managed to find their original videos anywhere. All that's left is heaps of content-vulture articles featuring lazily censored screenshots, or heavily edited TikTok-style clips - lame! If you're somehow in possession of these clips, please do the Vietnamese internet community a favor and set them free.
+
+
+
+
+## Apparently, you can Get Something Off The Internet
+
+... if you have the right connections. I followed the #DropKiwifarms saga closely in the last few years, not because I'm a supporter of either side, but because it's a fascinating real life case study: Assuming you're a universally hated website but still operating within the confines of the law (according to kiwifarms' owner anyway), can a sufficiently pissed off party kick you off the internet? So far the answer seems to be No, but with lots of effort. Nevertheless, an interesting side effect came about: the dropkiwifarms folks managed to convince Archive.org to [wipe kiwifarms off their archives][5]. I used to consider Archive.org a somewhat reliable historian, but this whole spat set a clear precedent: they can, and have, deleted data from their archive, no matter what they advertise otherwise.
+
+So again:
+
+> You cannot rely on someone else to archive internet content for you. Period.
+
+Archive.org, archive.is, whatever, doesn't matter, they're all Other People's Computers, where Other People (read: Not You) can decide to delete, or worse, alter, whatever, whenever. If you see something on the internet and want to get back to it in the future, archive it yourself.
+
+Boy was that a tangent!
