However, the first copy of you is so far away that the distance isn't even meaningful to express as a number.

Cosmologists believe the universe is spatially infinite, homogeneous and isotropic.
If so, through sheer statistics and combinatorics, there will be infinite exact copies of you. There's a finite number of ways matter can arrange itself. Every configuration must repeat.
Sometimes when I've watched a movie, I want to get right back into that world. If it's a good movie that I enjoy, I become so immersed that the shift to mundane reality feels abrupt.
Now we're one step closer to putting a tardigrade in superposition. This is magic, but real.

This archive feels much more special and intimate than the official live recordings. What a treasure trove.
Nirvana played a concert at a place called Dreamerz in Chicago on July 8, 1989 and it sounded like this.

Love this. A guy called Aadam Jacobs, also known as Chicago Tape Guy, recorded over 10 000 concerts. The recordings are being digitized by Internet Archive.
Here's Tracy Chapman in 1988. Good performance of Fast Car.

Finished DTF St. Louis. Feels like one of those shows only HBO makes. Same thing with The Chair Company.
Great bromance between Jason Bateman and David Harbour. The opposite of toxic masculinity.
There are several big budget documentaries about dinosaurs. What about human history?
From neanderthals to homosapiens, the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, to Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The rise and fall of civilizations across the world. Big budget. I want it. I need it.
Imagine your country being cut in half 70 years ago. Same culture, same language. The north became an oppressive and impoverished hell without modern comforts.
The south is a democracy, a global tech leader, and a highly advanced society, with music and movies that are celebrated around the world.
Never seen such effective indoctrination in my life. Mr Nobody Against Putin highlights Russian indoctrination in schools. This is somehow even worse. Horrifying.
Completely cut off from the rest of the world and indoctrinated since birth.
Beyond Utopia. Very gripping doc about people fleeing North Korea. They have to cross a river into China where they'll be arrested and sent back to torture and death if caught.
Then travel through China to Vietnam, Laos and finally Thailand, where they get arrested and deported to South Korea.
Watched this Netflix documentary. Industry season four's plot must be heavily inspired by the Wirecard scandal. The screenwriters basically dramatized all the events.

Hexen, Heretic, Doom II.
Watched Twister (1996) for the first time. Surprised to see Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck, Todd Field (now a celebrated director), and a baby faced Jeremy Davies.
I watched a Springsteen documentary. Robert De Niro supposedly got the iconic "You talkin' to me?" line from a Springsteen concert he had attended before filming the scene, where Bruce repeatedly said those exact words to the audience.
The entire Wired Tech Support series is great and this is my favorite episode. Even though she says things I already knew, she answers the questions so accurately and to-the-point.
Watched it a second time. Highly recommend. Important topic today (unfortunately).

I'm all for it!
Steve from Stranger Things actually makes good music. Delete Ya, Basic Being Basic, Charlie's Garden, and End of Beginning are all catchy tracks. I'm a Djo fan now.
So we liked the same song. I had no idea he makes music until the other day. I saw him in a Pavement movie that's part documentary, part fiction. He pretended to play the lead singer in a Pavement biopic (that doesn't actually exist).
Cool. Which song was it? I've only heard End of Beginning, which I liked.
Jason Schwartzman is another actor who has made good music.

I've also seen him in interviews, and in a strange Pavement "documentary." I agree on both accounts. I've only heard the song End of Beginning, but I liked that one.
We no longer have shared cultural moments that define decades. Everyone knew The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Who, R.E.M., Nirvana and so on.
Today, someone most people have never even heard of can have more listeners than all the old musical legends.
I read that Joe Keery from Stranger Things makes music. I thought it would be a small side project. No.
He has about as many listeners on Spotify as The Rolling Stones and The Beatles combined. What the hell.
Eels! Great artist. I think my favorite is the goofy Last Stop: This Town.
