‘Many people need desperately to receive this message: “I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.”’

Gracias a un regalo familiar, tengo por probar, muy en breve, #GHQ, el juego de estrategia creado por el mismísimo #KurtVonnegut. Algo así como un ajedrez contemporáneo, en el que las figuras representan ejércitos de la #2GM. La presentación y calidad de la edición es inmejorable.

So incredibly excited about this partnership. KVML is a wonderful organization and I love seeing Purdue getting involved with their work! #soitgoes #kurtvonnegut #KVML

It all hinges on what you THINK you know. Because only some of those things you ACTUALLY know. And the stuff you REALLY know, maybe you know that without really thinking about it all that much. As #KurtVonnegut put in in Galapagos, it's our big brains that are the primary difficulty. LOL. #Illusion

"Nobody will stop you from creating. Do it tonight. Do it tomorrow. That is the way to make your soul grow... The kick of creation is the act of creating, not anything that happens afterward."

Man will invent a machine to boil schoolchildren alive in their sleep, and then pin a shiny medal on his own chest for pushing the button.

In the words of #KurtVonnegut: “True terror is to wake up one morning and realize that your high school class is running the country.”

I like the Superman films, sure, but Slaughterhouse-Five is an under-appreciated gem of 70s filmmaking (the Arrow Blu-ray is excellent, too).

Quote by author Kurt Vonnegut: “Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got 100 years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies… God, damn it, you’ve got to be kind.”

Have *finally* remembered where I've seen the logo of @anthropic.com's AI, #Claude, before - it's a copy of one of the illustrations drawn by #KurtVonnegut for his magnificent 1973 novel, #BreakfastOfChampions. I think they're taking the art of self-deprecation a little far though.

"You develop a style from writing a lot." --Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) From his “Palm Sunday” collection, 1981 and "A Man Without A Country" 2005 #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #kurtvonnegut Kurt Vonnegut rejected the idea that style is something you invent in advance. In his essays and lectures on writing, he consistently argued that voice develops naturally through repetition, revision, and volume of work. You don’t sit down and manufacture a “style.” You write, and then write again, and over time the patterns of your thinking and phrasing reveal themselves. Style, in this view, isn’t decoration - it’s residue. What makes this advice refreshing is its simplicity. Instead of obsessing over sounding unique, Vonnegut suggests focusing on the act of writing itself. The more you practice, the more your natural rhythms and instincts emerge. Authentic voice grows from effort, not affectation. His message to writers is clear: stop chasing style. Produce the pages, and style will follow. The sentiment comes from Vonnegut’s writing guidance found in essays and lectures, most notably found in "Palm Sunday" (1981) and later echoed in his writing advice compilation "A Man Without a Country" (2005). In these works, Vonnegut emphasizes practice over imitation and encourages writers to discover their voice through sustained effort rather than conscious style-crafting. While the short sentence is often quoted independently, it reflects a documented theme in his nonfiction commentary on writing: style emerges organically through consistent practice.
