Slaughterhouse five and the sirens of titan by Kurt Vonnegut
Snagged my first Vonnegut’s since reading Harrison Bergeron in 2015!
Excited to start these bad boys next week (after I finish chainsaw man ofc)

AMEN!! #KURTVONNEGUT was a great writer but more importantly, a GOOD MAN.
“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” - #KurtVonnegut (died: 11 April 2007)
‘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.

#QuoteOfTheDay #KurtVonnegut #War #NuclearWeapons
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).

Forgot to post when finished. This was another great read!!!
“This book is rededicated to Howard W. Campbell, Jr., a man who served evil too openly and good too secretly, the crime of his times.”
Rec: 👍 👍 👍

Let's face it, we could all use a little more Vonnegut in our lives. This is "Cat's Cradle." (7"x11" 70.00....Just DM if interested) #KurtVonnegut #CatsCradle #ice9 #illustration #art
So I had read Harrison Bergunson before, but I feel into the category of "most readers" in my interpretation and uhh... hmm. Thank you for this video, merlin. Wild!

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.
Lunatic Species, Lunatic Planet, Lunatic Universe so "God dam it you've got to be kind" ...(I know completely unfair to lunatics, just conceding to the colloquial )
