My wife and I say this all the time. Not sure I can stomach that book—the article was hard

The present no longer lasts long enough to be a setting. All fiction is either science fiction or historical fiction.

I've been saying this for long enough that even this statement itself is no longer true. The future doesn't last long enough either. All science fiction is now retrofuturism.

Mike Nellis @MikeNellis "I'M NO LONGER CATHOLIC!" Hannity ABANDONS HIS FAITH for Trump NELLIS X.com • +*+

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

How Did Hendrix Turn His Guitar Into a Wave Synthesizer? How did Jimi Hendrix turn his guitar into a wave synthesizer? Dive into the engineering behind his iconic sound.

Edge-computing architect Rohan Puranik ran circuit simulations on every pedal in Hendrix's signal chain and concludes that he was a systems engineer who iterated fast on a modular analog signal chain.

You know what doesn't get its support unceremoniously pulled by a tech company? Fuckin' books, brother

it is the job of writers to be difficult and inefficient and it is the job of people in "facilitating culture orgs" to deal with that, and in an era of Professionalize Yourself Hustle culture, Helen Dewitt is like one of the Olde Gods rearing up to instill fear, terror, and awe

I love her. Give her all the money and a personal assistant.

From Clickhole's "Incredible! We Asked These Astronauts What It’s Like To Be In Space," Barry Wilmore: You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.

One of the very best from Clickhole

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.
