EP 734, At the Library: Got scifi murder magic with #CleavetheSparrow, bureaucratic eldritch chaos in #TheRegicideReport, and #RobinInce proving “normal” is just a setting on the dryer. Books? We have them. Opinions? Obviously gog.show/734 #podcast
Finished #TheFutureOfTruth by Werner Herzog and #CleaveTheSparrow by Jonathan Katz. Just started #TheCaseAgainstReality by Donald Hoffman. The Dissociation Trilogy is nearly complete.
I haven't #read #cleavethesparrow but since all of its persistent online adds are #aislop, I'm not ever going to. I assume the #book is probably the same. #ai #books #reading #aiisnotart
A photo of a Kindle resting on a pizza-print blanket with a page from the book Cleave the Sparrow by Jonathan Katz. The page reads, "the story of the Western Australian Jewel Beetle. Back in the 1980s, these randy characters-the males-were all copulating normally with female jewel beetles, until Australian designers tweaked the shape of their beer bottles and added a ring of dimples on the bottom that looked like the sexiest fucking beetle slut you could ever imagine. This is all true by the way. It became such a problem, the Australians had to redesign their beer bottles, just to stop the beetle bros from ignoring their women and going extinct. And if you think this couldn't happen to humans, you obviously haven't visited Tokyo recently."
I like when the narrator says, "This is all true by the way" so I know when to google that shit. #CleaveTheSparrow
