I don't care that this amazing thing was almost certainly made using AI, because whoever did it must've spent years in their bedroom learning how to play this instrument so well.

The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

Oh shit. I've lived atop the Bay Bridge, I've written code in an Oakland artist warehouse, I once had a roommate named Case... and I'm wearing an MA-1 jacket and a faux ametoro Oxford shirt. I think I might be a poorly-written AI-slop Gibson protag.

the term for compound word construction in German is 'Komposita'.
my favorite thing about that term is that it is not compound.
Watching this on repeat. Over and over again.

I collect enthusiast (name-brand, but under $200) pocketknives and enjoy carrying, playing with, and maintaining them. But when I have to cut stuff I use a $10 utility knife and a disposable blade.

Holy shit. What's that feel like?
Would it be telling if you were to expand on the Full Iain M? Do you mean a fully-realized, not-just-a-Used Universe but one you found in a charity shop with the kitchen utensils, full of awful and beautiful things and often both together? Or

Have hit that point in the novel I'm working on when I've got all my ducks lined up *just right* and it's time to go Full Iain M. Banks on the galaxy
